Abstract: This work deals with the reliability-based design and optimization of ship structural components subjected to stochastic loads and accounting for the local fatigue damage and buckling and ultimate global strength of the ...

Abstract: Technical manuals for complex systems like automobiles, airplanes, and machine tools, often consist of a huge amount of documentation containing disassembling, assembling instructions and drawings of parts, subassemblies, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel linear parameter-varying (LPV) model of an electro-hydraulic variable valve actuator (EHVVA) for internal combustion engines that is capable of continuously varying valve timing with dual-lift. ...

Abstract: Virtual try-on technology (VTO) in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has been developed for years to create novel shopping experiences for users by allowing them to virtually wear fashion products. Compared ...

Abstract: urrent land surface models (LSMs) tend to largely underestimate the daytime land surface temperature for high-altitude regions. This is partly because of underestimation of heat transfer resistance, which may be resolved ...
