Abstract: The nonstationarities observed in extreme winds (e.g., tropical cyclones and downbursts) are typically characterized by the time-dependent second-order statistics (e.g., power spectra and correlations) for ...

Abstract: Recent advancements of performance-based wind design of tall buildings have placed increasing importance on effectively modeling of the nonlinear structural dynamic response under extreme storms. However, the numerical ...

Abstract: The frequency content and spatial correlation of nonstationary wind fields during extreme events typically present time-variant characteristics. Several effective schemes [e.g., using evolutionary power spectral density ...

Abstract: Due to the complexity and size of railway interlocking systems, conventional verification and testing techniques are not able to provide sufficient safety assurance. This paper proposes an online observer for safety assurance ...

Abstract: Bidirectional axial-flow turbomachines are used in a wide range of applications. Despite this, little research has been conducted to understand the flow characteristics of bidirectional airfoils, particularly S-shaped ...
