Representation-Theoretic Symmetry Reduction and Fuzzy-Grey Optimization of Modular Vibration Systems
Abstract: This paper presents a representation-theoretic framework for symmetry-aware vibration control in modular structural systems. Exploiting cyclic symmetry, the mass, damping, and stiffness operators are block-diagonalised into irreducible representations, reducing the full structural dynamics to a collection of lower-dimensional modal subsystems. This decomposition provides both computational efficiency and a rigorous mathematical description of symmetry-preserving dynamic behaviour. To account for imperfections arising in practical implementations, near-symmetry defects in stiffness and damping are …

Intrinsic Evaluation of Graph Embeddings: Assessing Clustering and Community Detection Performance
Abstract: This paper presents an intrinsic evaluation of some graph embedding techniques on clustering and community detection tasks. We analyze a diverse set of embedding methods, ranging from traditional techniques such as Laplacian eigenmaps to more recent approaches like graph autoencoders, high-order proximity preserved embedding (HOPE), and graph attention network (GAT), using two widely studied datasets, Cora and CiteSeer. Our evaluation relies on two main metrics: Silhouette score with respect to …

A Constraint-Driven Generative Design Methodology for Modular Actuated Robotic Components in Decentralized Manufacturing
Abstract: This work formalizes a constraint-driven generative design framework for actuator-integrated robotic components intended for decentralized additive manufacturing. Conventional topology optimization typically prioritizes structural efficiency while treating actuator integration, modular interfaces, and fabrication constraints as secondary considerations. In contrast, the proposed methodology encodes these requirements as first-order geometric and mechanical constraints prior to automated material redistribution. The framework defines preserved actuator geometry, bounded design envelopes, representative loading abstractions, and manufacturability-aware domains …

Group-Theoretic Symmetry Indices for Modular Building Layouts under Seismic Load Redistribution
Abstract: Symmetry in modular buildings operates simultaneously as an architectural language, a structural regularizer, and a computational design variable. This paper develops a group-theoretic framework for evaluating and optimizing plan symmetry in modular buildings subjected to seismic load redistribution. The building layout is modeled as a finite occupancy–stiffness field defined on a rectangular lattice, where each module encodes both mass and stiffness contributions. Planar reflections and quarter-turn rotations are represented as …

Hierarchical Computational Modeling of Physical Structure Across Quark, Nuclear, and Atomic Scales
Abstract: We present a modular, multi-scale computational framework that integrates physical modeling and visualization across quark, nuclear, and atomic scales within a unified pipeline. Developed to address the traditional fragmentation between sub-nucleonic, nuclear, and electronic representations, the system provides a continuous data flow and visualization bridge spanning from femtometers to ångströms. The framework consists of three primary modules: a particle-level module illustrating nucleons as confined quark-triplets with effective flux-tube geometries; a …

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypergraph Laplacians and Dominating Transversals for Resilient Discrete Network Design
Abstract: This manuscript develops a discrete mathematical framework for resilience analysis on networks whose interactions are polyadic, uncertain, and partially conflicting. Classical graphs compress multi-way coordination into pairwise edges, while ordinary fuzzy graphs often ignore the non-membership information that becomes critical in emergency logistics, infrastructure interdependence, and cyberphysical coordination. We therefore formulate an intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraph in which each vertex hyperedge incidence carries membership, non-membership, and hesitation, and we construct a …

Data Representation and Abstraction in Computer Systems: An Interactive Study
Abstract: Data abstraction simplifies data, while data representation stores or encodes it. Data abstraction in programming involves constructing a data type that hides data representation. This lets consumers concentrate on the data’s primary features rather than its implementation. Data abstraction is common in object-oriented programming and database administration. Computers store data in binary format. The smallest binary unit is a bit, or “binary digit”. Bytes typically have eight bits. Data abstraction …

Trussed Bridges
Abstract: Trussed railway bridges offer a unique structural advantage by efficiently distributing the load between the truss members and the girder. In such designs, a significant portion of the load is carried by the truss members, which reduces the stress on the bridge girder itself. As a result, the girder in a trussed bridge can be constructed with a reduced thickness compared to bridges that lack a truss system. This optimization …

Role-Based Online Food Ordering and Delivery System Using Django and Restful Architecture
Abstract: Traditional food ordering processes in restaurants rely heavily on manual interactions, including in- person ordering, phone-based bookings, and unstructured coordination between customers, restaurants, and delivery personnel. These approaches lead to inefficiencies such as delayed order processing, incorrect order handling, lack of real-time tracking, and poor coordination among stakeholders. Although modern applications exist, many academic implementations lack modular architecture, role-based access control, and scalable backend design. This paper presents the design …
