The accurate dynamic analysis of concrete arch dams relies heavily on employing a three-dimensional semi-infinite fluid element. The usual method for calculating the impedance matrix of this fluid hyper-element is dependent on the solution of a...

Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) describes

data by using a hyper-sphere. In this paper, we propose an

extended SVDD (ESVDD) which describes data by using a

hyper-ellipse. Clearly, ESVDD can...
