Experimental data of the three dimensional problem of impact of a flat strip by a spherical impactor are presented and interpreted qualitatively by comparison with a plane-strain numerical analysis of an infinitely wide plate impacted by a cylindrical im pactor. The role of transverse shear stress in proximal and middle layer crack initiation is established. A detail presentation of damage is provided with exact delamination zones. The basic conclusions drawn establish a basis for further research in under standing impact induced fracture in composites.

This paper presents a new synthesis method for ARMA digital lattice filters. These filters are obtained by a fast algorithm for estimation of ARMA parameters. Some fast algorithms for such estimation have already been proposed in which approximation models are derived using the input and output signals and can be applied to arbitrary input signals. Among these methods, the Mullis‐Roberts algorithm estimates the parameters by the autocorrelation coefficients and impulse response of observed signals. The method is similar to the parameter estimation using white Gaussian process for the input signals. Though the Mullin‐Roberts algorithm can estimate the parameters with less calculation cost than other algorithms, it is not suitable for designing different orders of the AR and MA parts. The fast algorithm proposed in this paper estimates the parameters with the same calculation cost as in the Mullis‐Roberts algorithm when the input signal is restricted to a white Gaussian process and obtains the ARMA parameters as the AR and MA orders are independently increased. The new ARMA lattice filter is synthesized by three prediction errors defined in the new algorithm and consists of a simpler structure than the usual filters of this type. By processing time series signals using the algorithm and the lattice filter, we show the feasibility of estimating the minimum realization for an ARMA model.

The results of 23,228 fingerprick capillary blood glucose tests (the taking of which was coordinates by the Diabetic Association of New South Wales) were reviewed. All non-diabetic persons (n = 860) with a blood glucose result of greater than or equal to 8.0 mmol/L were surveyed and 459 responded (53.4%). The responders were typical of the surveyed group with respect to age and capillary blood glucose level. Sixty-four new cases of diabetes were detected, representing 15.8% of the replies from persons who were not known to have diabetes and 0.28% of the total number of persons screened.

Two approaches in design of space frame structures are outlined and discussed. The kinematic equations for arbitrary large rotation of beams are formulated by means of rotation vectors. This is the so called displacement method. The other approach uses nonlinear computational algorithms. An iteration procedure was developed using initial stiffness matrix and orthogonal load-deformation-states.

A series of surveys provide the basis for comments on the mathematical education of engineers in Australia. The respondents were graduates and employers. This paper summarises their views and contrasts undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The former tend to be traditional and structured. There is a need for more course work with the latter with more emphasis on mathematical modelling. Desirable professional attributes which should come from education with mathematics rather than mere training in mathematics are listed as they are seen in the milieu of the market place. © 1985, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

A 120m tall building incorporating both in-situ and precast post-tensioned concrete components was instrumented to observe some aspects of its structural behaviour. The instrumentation includes embedded and surface strain and temperature transducers, survey reference points, wind pressure tappings, and anemometers above the roof of the building to measure wind characteristics. The paper describes the strain and deformation instrumentation and method of data acquisition. The measured long-term vertical strains and deformations in one of the columns are presented and are compared with values predicted by two methods which are suitable for use by designers. Reference is made to the results of an extensive materials testing programme the results of which enabled the assessment of methods of prediction for the long-term creep and shrinkage properties of the concrete.

Flow in an urban drainage network is generally unsteady. Analysis of such flows therefore requires the solution of the unsteady flow (Saint Venant) equations. Among the numerical techniques which have been developed for the analysis of unsteady flows is the four-point implicit finite difference scheme commonly referred to as the Amein scheme. Use of the Amein scheme requires the solution of C multiplied by DELTA v equals minus R where C is a large sparse matrix and DELTA v and R are n multiplied by 1 column vectors. The algorithm proposed herein uses the properties of the drainage network to develop an efficient solution of C multiplied by DELTA v equals minus R based upon the partitioning and decomposition of the coefficient matrix C. An example urban drainage network is analysed showing the use of the proposed solution algorithm.

Durability of concrete structures is, despite considerable interest, as yet ill-defined. Methods of classification and quantification of durability of concrete members have recently been outlined in a series of co-authored papers. The application of such methods to structures is outlined. The accumulation of data requires the use of a computer, and methods of transferring data from photographic or television images to storage is discussed. The data is then available for computations, which relate types of deterioration effects to reinforcement and other details. Statistical procedures are introduced to systematise the data, and to permit comparisons to be made between structural members, within the same structure or between structures. The approach should, if successfully applied, allow better measurements of durability to be made, and hence improve techniques of predicting performance, making comparisons between materials and systems, assessing repair procedures and estimating repair costs.

Broadly speaking, the regional structure of a manipulator, which consists of the inboard three joints and the members associated with them, determines the workspace shape and volume. The orientation structure, which, for a six degree of freedom manipulator, consists of the three furthest outboard joints and members, determines the geometric dexterity or orientation potential of the manipulator. It is possible, using straight forward geometric arguments, to determine the optimal dimensions of the regional structure for a given total length. By the use of the spherical counterpart of Grashof's theorem formulated by Freudenstein, it is possible also to show that there is an optimum geometry of the orientation structure.
