The vibration of simple pendulum with large displacement is a kind of nonlinear system. The relationship between spectra of response and excitation is established by nonlinear analysis method under the assumption of the displacement response being a zero-mean Gaussian process, which is proved to be true by numerical simulation. The numerical computation is used to investigate the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the system. The results show that the value of amplitude-frequency characteristics decreases significantly with the increase of natural frequency and damping ratio near the point of frequency ratio being one, and the changes become less notable when the frequency ratio is greater than two.

The dynamic characteristics of vibration systems with nonlinear springs is analyzed in the paper. The relationship between spectra of response and excitation intensity is established by nonlinear analysis method under the assumption of the displacement response being a zero-mean Gaussian process, which is proved to be true by numerical simulation. The numerical computation is used to obtain the spectral densities of responses and, furthermore, to investigate the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the system. The results show that the peak of the amplitude-frequency curve goes higher with increase of the gap, yet lowers with the increase of natural frequency and drops significantly with the increase of damping ratio.

Cable sliding in membrane pockets or on membrane surfaces has not yet been considered in analysis of cable-membrane structure software. In this study, a new sliding cable element has been created, using the non-linear finite method and a model of line-elastic and non-linear sliding stiffness. First, this paper outlines existing computational methods for creating sliding cables and questions the accuracy of these current numerical models. Second, it determines the sliding stiffness of sliding cables by examining the relationship between the original length and the end tension of space two-node linear cable elements. Third, the solution arithmetic for cables sliding in membrane pockets or on membrane surfaces is proposed with consideration of correctional linear sliding stiffness. Finally, the method developed herein is validated by one example.

The concept of entrepreneurial orientation, which emerges with the development of strategic management, refers to entrepreneurship orientations of businesses. The businesses need resources in other words organizational slack in order to develop their entrepreneurial trends. The organizational slack consists of three slack type. These slack types are available slack, recoverable slack and potential slack. The purpose of this study is to examine whether organizational slack in the businesses has an effect on entrepreneurial orientation. The relationship between organizational slack and entrepreneurial orientation was investigated through 20 companies that were traded in Borsa Istanbul Corporate Governance Index for 2010-2014 period using panel data analysis method. The results of the study indicate the existence of a statistically significant relationship between and the available slack and the recoverable slack with the entrepreneurial orientation in the businesses. According to findings; there was no statistically significant relationship between potential slack and entrepreneurial orientation.

By means of the fountain-convergence analysis method of FRRU (Flow Resistance-Rigidity Uniformity) index defined by the author, evidential comparison analysis study has been made to the relationship between flexible drift of flow performance of WTD (Weight Type Distributor) valves of fuel nozzles of X engine and hot-end failures of X engine. The results show that during the initial period of engine start, because of the relative scarcity of air in the combustor, a convergence characteristic, due to its converging flow property ofmultiple to one, can lead to such hot-end failures as turbine blade fusion break which is characterized byabrupt change, while a fountain characteristic, due to its diffusing flow property ofone tomultiple, cannot result in any hot-end failures.

Abstract:Since the Wenchuan earthquake happened, the slope stability had been paid much more attention. The safety factor is an important parameter that can be used to evaluate the stability of slope. The pseudo-static method that based on limit equilibrium and the method of numerical simulation can calculate the safety factor accurately, but the velocity that gets the result is slow. If we can establish the relationship between safety factor and some other parameters, then we can calculate the safety factor by using the relationship more quickly. This paper establishes much relationship, such as the relationship between the rock mechanics parameters and the average danymic safety factor, the relationship between the rock mechanics parameters and the ratio of average danymic safety factor to static safety factor, the relationship between the rock mechanics parameters and the average earthquake acceleration coefficient, the relationship between the average earthquake acceleration coefficient and the ratio of average danymic safety factor to static safety factor, and the relationship between the earthquake acceleration coefficient and the ratio of danymic safety factor to static safety factor on the condition of different rock mass.

The interaction of quality management and knowledge man­agement are analyzed quite widely in scientific literature and discussed with reference to various models integrating these two management theories. However, there are not enough precise tools that could provide a possibility of improving the quality of products and services through knowledge management. To this end, the article examines the already existing models for the interaction between quality management and knowledge management. The results of a survey on Lithuanian industry show what organizational knowledge is the most important while implementing quality management principles aimed at improving quality. The correlation analysis method showed the relationship between quality management principles (process approach, continual improvement, management, facts) and the factors defining the product and process quality (the extent of determining process execution time, process resources, costs of process stages, indicators for products and/or services, the dura­tion of the process, the extent of measuring indicators, the extent of collecting information on indicators, the extent of collecting information about the costs of the process). Santrauka Kokybės vadybos ir žinių vadybos sąveika mokslinėje literatūroje analizuojama gana plačiai, aptariami įvairūs sąveikos modeliai integruojant šias dvi vadybos teorijas. Tačiau nepakankamai nagrinėjamos konkrečios priemonės, kuriomis būtų galima pagerinti produktų ir paslaugų kokybę pasitelkiant žinių vadybą. Tuo tikslu straipsnyje analizuojami jau egzis­tuojantys kokybės vadybos ir žinių vadybos sąveikos modeliai bei pateikiami Lietuvos pramonės įmonių tyrimo rezultatai, parodantys, kokios organizacinės žinios svarbiausios įgyvendinant kokybės vadybos principus, skirtus kokybei gerinti. Taikant koreliacinės analizės metodą nustatyta, kad egzistuoja ryšys tarp kokybės vadybos principų (procesinio požiūrio, nuolatinio gerinimo, valdymo remiantis faktais) įgyvendinimo lygio ir veiksnių, apibūdinančių produktų ir procesų kokybę (procesų įvykdymo laiko nustatymas, procesų išteklių nustatymas, procesų etapų išlaidų nustatymas, produktų ir (ar) paslaugų rodiklių nustatymas, rodiklių matavimas, rodiklių informacijos rinkimas, informacijos apie proceso trukmę nustatymas ir informacijos apie proceso išlaidas rinkimas).
