Abstract: Design of the TFTR presents special engineering problems as a result of constraints posed by the physics requirements of the fusion experiments. The ratio of plasma major and minor radii and ...

Abstract: In the past, many objective techniques have been evaluated for severe tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, but little has been done along this line in the Pacific. A computer program was developed at the Joint Typhoon Warning ...

Abstract: This paper examines some of the features of the built environment that are most likely to be related to the potential for damage causation in the event of a tropical cyclone strike in a densely populated urban area. The ...

Abstract: A study has been made of the influence of grouping parameters on the mean pressure distributions experienced by three dimensional bluff bodies immersed in a turbulent boundary layer. The range ...

Abstract: In this paper an effective stochastic and multiple-excitation single-response approach to structural dynamics identification is introduced. The proposed approach accounts for many previously unaccounted ...

Abstract: A Suboptimum Maximum Likelihood (SML) method for ARMAX process identification from input-output observations is proposed. The proposed method is based on a quadratic approximation of the asymptotic ...

Abstract: We are pleased to bring out this special issue of JCISE to provide both a retrospective and a snapshot of key areas in computing and information science as they relate to electro-mechanical ...
