This paper presents a "fast and simple" (FAS) detection algorithm based on the digital image correlation for measurement of the surface deformation of planar objects. The proposed algorithm uses only ...

We sit here writing about investments every day. For those of us who are deep into the investment world, it's easy to lose sight of the reality that most people face: Managing your own investments is ...

I tend to divide my workday into blocks. Within minutes of waking up — we’re usually up by 5.30 a.m. — I sit down to write at least one Inc. article. Then I spend four to five hours writing a book, ...

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

In the race to develop artificial intelligence, tech giants are building data centers that guzzle up water. That has led to problems for people who live nearby. In the race to develop artificial ...

Take advantage of the MethodImplAttribute class in C# to inline methods and improve the execution speed of your .NET applications. The Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is a component of the Common Language ...

Abstract: This study aimed at comparing the rate of convergence and performance of Newton-Raphson and Regula-Falsi method for solving the nonlinear equations. To solve nonlinear equations, two ...

Determination of a suitable initial estimate for a root of an equation ƒ(x) = 0 by means of computing the roots of a sequence of related equations is described.

The problem of obtaining starting values for the Newton-Raphson calculation of √x on a digital computer is considered. It is shown that the conventionally used best uniform approximations to √x do not ...
