Depending on the type of elements used appropriate interpolation functions are used to obtain the elemental discretizations of the unknown variables. In the present derivation a mixed formulation consisting of nine-node bi-quadratic shape functions for velocity and the corresponding bi-linear interpolation for the pressure is adopted. To approximate stres.ses a 3 x 3 subdivision of the velocity-pressure element is considered and within these sub-elements the stresses are interpolated using bi-linear shape functions. This arrangement is shown in Edgure 3.1. 

The momentum and continuity equations give rise to a 22 x 22 elemental stiffness matrix as is shown by Equation (3.31). In Equation (3.31) the subscripts I and / represent the nodes in the bi-quadratic element for velocity and K and L the four corner nodes of the corresponding bi-linear interpolation for the pressure. The weight functions. Nr and Mf, are bi-qiiadratic and bi-linear, respectively. The y th component of velocity at node J is shown as iPj. Summation convention on repeated indices is assumed. The discretization of the continuity and momentum equations is hence based on the U--V- P scheme in conjunction with a Taylor-Hood element to satisfy the BB condition. 

Figure 5.2 shows the finite element mesh corresponding to the configuration shown in Figure 5.1. This mesh consists of 225 nine-node bi-quadratic elements and its utihzation in the present model is based on the application of isoparametric mapping, described in Chapter 2.

As a complementary approach a mean-field method is used in combination with the finite element method to investigate the FGM. To compare the predictions with the periodic unit cell simulations, the FGM part is divided into nine sublayers. Each of them consists of two bi-quadratic 8-node plane elements over the thickness, and only one element is used in the horizontal direction. The parts of pure alumina and pure nickel are modeled by three and 12 elements, respectively. In each sublayer the volume fractions of the phases are constant. In addition, the center sublayer can be split into a metal-matrix and a ceramic-matrix half sublayer. The properties of the particular material on the meso-structural level within the finite element calculation are described via a con-... 

If a population of particles is to be represented by a single number, there are many different measures of central tendency or mean sizes. Those include the median, the mode and many different means arithmetic, geometric, quadratic, cubic, bi-quadratic, harmonic (ref. 1) to name just a few. As to which is to be chosen to represent the population, once again this depends on what property is of importance the real system is in effect to be represented by an artificial mono-sized system of particle size equal to the mean. Thus, for example, in precipitation of fine particles due to turbulence or in total recovery predictions in gas cleaning, a simple analysis may be used to show that the most relevant mean size is the arithmetic mean of the mass distribution (this is the same as the bi-quadratic mean of the number distribution). In flow through packed beds (relevant to powder aeration or de-aeration), it is the arithmetic mean of the surface distribution, which is identical to the harmonic mean of the mass distribution. 

Specimen 5 was particularly problematic because it contained significant distortion (both cup and bow). This specimen had obvious regions of bondline voids that should have been readily detected by the laser-scanning method- but were instead obscured by the specimen distortion. For this specimen, fitting a parabolic function to a single scan and subtracting it from all the scans was not sufficient to reproduce a flat bondline. Rather, to improve the analysis, it may have been useful to initially fit a bi-quadratic function to the data to completely remove all surface distortion, and then apply the relevant tolerance to better resolve these surface features. 

For the displacements, biquadratic shape functions have been used. Bilinear and bi-quadratic shape functions have been used for the pore water pressure in Simulation... 

Several reports have also considered the quadratic NLO properties of DT complexes.458-461 Chen et al. have used NIR absorption data and SC A//12 values to estimate f30 according to the TSM for various Ni11 or Pt11 mixed a-diimine/DT complexes,458,459 and also for several asymmetrically substituted bis(DT)s (e.g., (175) and (176)).460 Dipole analyses indicate that the NIR transition in (175) is primarily LLCT in nature, whereas that of (176) has only limited CT character.460 The complex (177) has a red-shifted LLCT absorption and a considerably larger fa value than (175).461 The // 2 for the NIR band of (177) is also somewhat larger than that of (175), but the two complexes have very similar A//12 values.461... 

The equations were solved analytically after substitution of the assumed relationships of interest into the exact energy factored force field. For the Cotton-Kraihanzel treatment of species M(CO)5X, v B2) was not used. In the corresponding treatment of species cw-M(CO)4X2, the expressions for K(Bi), K Bz), and K A ) - -K A were used this procedure means that all the available data are used, as well as obviating the need to solve a quadratic. 

Eley-Rideal mechanism. Kinetic polynomial here is quadratic in R (see Equation (48)). There is only one feasible solution (49) here. The feasible branch should vanish at the thermodynamic equilibrium. Thus, the only candidate for the feasible branch expansion is R = — [Bq/Bi] because the second branch expansion is R — —B2/Bi+[Bq/Bi] and it does not vanish at equilibrium. First terms of series for reaction rate generated by formula (55) at = 1 are... 

According to the experimental results obtained on untwinned YBCO single crystals [1, 2, 3], temperature dependence of resistivity in the planes is linear, i.e. ppiane = d + 0-2T, where a and <22 are constants. On the other hand, temperature dependence of the chain resistivity in YBCO was found to follow approximately a quadratic dependence, i.e. Pchain = b +, where bi and 62 are constants [3]. T2 dependence... 

Pai et al. (1983) measured hole mobilities of a series of bis(diethylamino)-substituted triphenylmethane derivatives doped into a PC and poly(styrene) (PS). The mobilities varied by four orders of magnitude, while the field dependencies varied from linear to quadratic. In all materials, the field dependencies decreased with increasing temperature. The temperature dependencies were described by an Arrhenius relationship with activation energies that decrease with increasing field. Pai et al. described the transport process as a field-driven chain of oxidation-reduction reactions in which the rate of electron transfer is controlled by the molecular substituents of the hopping sites. 

As expected, the relative significance of the standard regression coefficient B3 is considerably less than those of the standardized linear and quadratic coefficients, Bi and B2.
