Abstract: This study proposes a modal analysis for a simplified model of a linked building system, i.e., a system consisting of two adjacent tall buildings connected through links such as skybridges or skygardens. The simplified ...

Abstract: In this paper the new bioheat equation derived in Weinbaum and Jiji [7] is applied to the three layer conceptual model of microvascular surface tissue organization proposed in [1]. A simplified ...

Abstract: A robust strategy for controlling the influence of outliers on model parameters and variance components is proposed based on the principle of robust M estimation. The robust estimators for parameters and variance components ...

Abstract: This study considers the goal of expressway traffic incident emergency rescue and proposes an emergency resource configuration optimization method with the objective of minimum total area rescue resources in a network. ...

Abstract: An improved analytical evaluation model considering both the interbuilding coupling caused by the link and the intrabuilding structural coupling caused by eccentricities is developed for linked building systems (LBS). ...

Abstract: In order to enhance the overall performance and operational efficiency of the integrated coaxial compound helicopter and turboshaft engine system, a preliminary study on the optimal rotational speeds was implemented based ...
