The Fractional Chromatic Number and the Hall Ratio
(2016-07-29)
All graphs in this paper are both finite and simple. α(G) is the vertex independence of a graph, G. The Hall ratio of G is defined as ρ(G) = max[n(H) /α(H) |n(H) = |V (H)|and H ⊆ G] where H ⊆ G means that H is a subgraph of ...
Fractional Domination, Fractional Packings, and Fractional Isomorphisms of Graphs
(2005-05-15)
The fractional analogues of domination and packing in a graph form an interesting pair of dual linear programs, in that the feasible vectors for both LPs have interpretations as functions from the vertices of the graph to ...
Fracture Behavior of Particulate Polymer Composites (PPCs) and Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs): Study of Filler Size, Filler Stiffness and Loading Rate Effects
(2013-07-11)
Particulate Polymer Composites (PPCs) generally consist of nano- or micro-fillers of various sizes and shapes randomly dispersed in a polymer matrix. Introduction of second phase fillers of different stiffness and alteration ...
Fracture of Brittle Materials and Bimaterial Interfaces in the Presence of Compressive Stresses
(2022-12-05)
The present work is aimed at the experimental investigation of the effect of local compressive stress fields on a crack lying along an interface. This is relevant to problems such as interfaces found in adhesively bonded ...
Fragging in the Vietnam War: Myth, Media, and Memory
(2023-12-06)
This dissertation examines the memory and media presentation of the phenomenon of fragging in the Vietnam War. Soldiers have attacked officers throughout history, but this study focuses on the rash of incidents in the ...
Fragment Response of Unreinforced Concrete Masonry Walls Subjected to Blast Loading Conditions
(2020-04-21)
There are very few methods for predicting the fragment velocity and fragment production of an unreinforced, ungrouted concrete masonry wall. Those that do exist often require large computational resources or fail to predict ...
Framework for Formal Automated Analysis of Simulation Experiments
(2017-04-20)
