Abstract: This is the first part of an investigation of time variant structural system reliability under multiple loadings. The formulation of the problem in the context of outcrossing of a vector random process of a safe domain is ...

Abstract: This is the second part of an investigation of time variant structural system reliability under multiple loadings. The study is concentrated on brittle, redundant systems. The emphasis is on the consideration of load ...

Abstract: The SRICOS-EFA method was developed by Briaud, Chen, and their students starting in the early 1990s to predict the scour depth versus time curve for a cylindrical pier in deep water subjected to a multiflood hydrograph and ...

Abstract: Erodibility of a soil is defined here as the relationship between the erosion rate of a soil

Abstract: The SRICOS method was proposed in 1999 to predict the scour depth versus time curve at a cylindrical bridge pier for a constant velocity flow, a uniform soil, and a deep-water condition. In this article, the method is ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations were performed to predict the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient distributions on a rotating blade platform with stator-rotor purge flow and downstream ...

Abstract: A new method called SRICOS is proposed to predict the scour depth

Abstract: Scour at bridges is the number-one cause of bridge collapse in the United States. Much research has been performed to improve the prediction of scour depths in coarse-grained soils, but little has been done for fine-grained ...

Abstract: The kinetics of thermal and oxidative decomposition of printed circuit boards is investigated under various heating rates (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 K/min) and oxygen concentrations (5, 10, and 15%) in the nitrogen-oxygen ...
