Matrix manipulation

It is important to note, however, that all this is not free. The designer must invest the time to set up the cases and evaluate the results. Only the designer can make the final decision as to whether the cases and the comparisons are valid (a true representation of the plant). The computer printout is simply the results of matrix manipulation and should be considered suspect until given the designer s stamp of approval. 

Thus one may use the above expressions to calculate the stiffness of a unidirectional lamina when it is loaded at any angle 6 to the fibre direction. If computer facilities are available for the matrix manipulation then it is not necessary to work out the individual terms as above - the required information can be determined directly from the matrices. For example, as indicated above...

If no laminae have failed, the load must be determined at which the first lamina fails (so-called first-ply failure), that is, violates the lamina failure criterion. In the process of this determination, the laminae stresses must be found as a function of the unknown magnitude of loads first in the laminate coordinates and then in the principal material directions. The proportions of load (i.e., the ratios of to Ny, to My,/ etc.) are, of course, specified at the beginning of the analysik The loaa parameter is increased until some individual lamina fails. The properties, of the failed lamina are then degraded in one of two ways (1) totally to zero if the fibers in the lamina fail or (2) to fiber-direction properties if the failure is by cracking parallel to the fibers (matrix failure). Actually, because of the matrix manipulations involved in the analysis, the failed lamina properties must not be zero, but rather effectively zero values in order to avoid a singular matrix that could not be inverted in the structural analysis problem. The laminate strains are calculated from the known load and the stiffnesses prior to failure of a lamina. The laminate deformations just after failure of a lamina are discussed later. 

The effect of the specific values of the B j can be readily calculated for some simple laminates and can be calculated without significant difficulty for many more complex laminates. The influence of bending-extension coupling can be evaluated by use of the reduced bending stiffness approximation suggested by Ashton [7-20]. If you examine the matrix manipulations for the inversion of the force-strain-curvature and moment-strain-curvature relations (see Section 4.4), you will find a definition that relates to the reduced bending stiffness approximation. You will find that you could use as the bending stiffness of the entire structure,... 

Partitioning the operator manifold can lead to efficient strategies for finding poles and residues that are based on solutions of one-electron equations with energy-dependent effective operators [16]. In equation 15, only the upper left block of the inverse matrix is relevant. After a few elementary matrix manipulations, a convenient form of the inverse-propagator matrix emerges, where... 

Equation 69-15 is the same as equation 69-8. Thus we have demonstrated that the equations generated from calculus, where we explicitly inserted the least square condition, create the same matrix equations that result from the formalistic matrix manipulations of the purely matrix-based approach. Since the least-squares principal is introduced before equation 69-8, this procedure therefore demonstrates that the rest of the derivation, leading to equation 69-10, does in fact provide us with the least squares solution to the original problem.

Let us consider the simple case of the H atom and its variational approximation at the standard HF/3-21G level, for which we can follow a few of the steps in terms of corresponding density-matrix manipulations. After symmetrically orthogonalizing the two basis orbitals of the 3-21G set to obtain orthonormal basis functions A s and dA, we obtain the corresponding AO form of the density operator (i.e., the 2 x 2 matrix representation of y in the...

Another, often major, advantage of using coded factor levels is that the numerical values involved in matrix manipulations are smaller (especially the products and sums of products), and therefore are simpler to handle and do not suffer as much from round-off errors. 

The number of states to be dealt with is halved, leading to considerable time-saving in matrix manipulation. 

This chapter describes several applications of absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation in chemical analysis. Another application—spectrophotometric titrations—was already covered in Section 7-3. We also use Excel SOLVER and spreadsheet matrix manipulations as powerful tools for numerical analysis. 

First we try to simplify the two equations by algebraic matrix manipulations. 

One possible way to solve this problem is by obtaining a system of linear equations in a similar way as in Example 8.3. However, the equations must be organized carefully because the equations are coupled in the two directions. To avoid the complications given by the generation of the matrix for the linear system of equations, some iterative methodologies have been developed to solve for this type of problems. Such techniques solve the system of equations without the need of cumbersome matrix manipulation, such as LU-decomposition, matrix inversion, etc. [19]. 

Organizing J in a three-dimensional array is elegant, but it does not fit well into the standard routines of MATLAB for matrix manipulation. There is no command for the calculation of the pseudoinverse J+ of such a three-dimensional array. There are several ways around this problem one of them is discussed in the following. The matrices R(k) and R(k + 5k) as well as each matrix < RIdk, are vectorized, i.e., unfolded into long column vectors r(k) and r(k + 5k). The nk vectorized partial derivatives then form the columns of the matricized Jacobian J. The structure of the resulting analogue to Equation 7.13 can be represented graphically in Equation 7.17.
