Based on the conventional yet accurate continuum approach, a general analysis is presented for a pair of coupled
shear walls, stiffened by an outrigger and a heavy beam in an arbitrary position on the height. Subsequently, a
parametric study is presented to investigate the behavior of the structure.[r]

A feedback control system usually implements active and semiactive control of seismically excited structures.
The objective of the control system is described by a performance index, including weighting matrix norms. The
choice of weighting matrices is usually based on engineering experience. A new[r]

Knowledge and understanding are prerequisites for the effective implementation of any
tool. No matter how impressive your tool chest, you will be hardpressed to repair a car if
you do not understand how it works.
This is particularly true when using computers to solve engineering problems. Although[r]

The Sylvester smallest enclosing circle problem involves finding the smallest circle that
encloses a finite number of points in the plane. We consider generalized versions of the Sylvester
problem in which the points are replaced by sets. Based on the logexponential smoothing technique

In this book chapter, we study the nonlinear absorption of a strong electromagnetic wave in low dimensional systems (quantum wells, doped superlattices, cylindrical quantum wires and rectangular quantum wires) by using the quantum kinetic equation method. Starting from the kinetic equation f[r]

Potential sites of quarries were evaluated by numerical rating techniques. There are 3 groups of implied rating factors on the rock deposits in surveyed quarry sites: the resource characteristics, resource economics, and the optimal excavation. A final result for each potential site was recorded and[r]

We propose the Bayesian adaptive Lasso (BaLasso) for variable selection and
coefficient estimation in linear regression. The BaLasso is adaptive to the signal level
by adopting different shrinkage for different coefficients. Furthermore, we provide
a model selection machinery for the BaLasso by asse[r]

This paper presents a multitarget data fusion (identification) algorithm called the Fuzzy data fusion algorithm (FDFA) for radar target tracking. This approach is formulated using the Kalman filter and FDF, the algorithm is accomplished by using fuzzy logic. Simulation results for cluttered conditio[r]

Large quantities of oil usually remain in oil reservoirs after conventional water floods. A significant part of this remaining oil can still be economically recovered by Water AlternatingGas (WAG) injection.

The idea of probit analysis was originally published in Science by Chester Ittner Bliss in 1934.
He worked as an entomologist for the Connecticut agricultural experiment station and was
primarily concerned with finding an effective pesticide to control insects that fed on grape leaves

A numerical investigation of turbulent swirling flows through an abrupt expansion tube is reported. The TEFESS code, based on a staggered Finite Volume approach with the standard kε model and first-order numerical schemes built-in, was used to carry out all the computations.
