Abstract: For every planar linkage chain with turning-pairs only, there is a corresponding set of identification numbers consisting of link assortment, joint assortment, link adjacent polynomial, joint ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite element approach for the analysis of the twin-roll strip casting process. Basic formulations for calculating the thermal and flow solutions are described, with ...

Abstract: A genetic algorithm based approach is presented for process optimal design in forging. In this approach, the optimal design problem is formulated on the basis of the integrated thermo-mechanical ...

Abstract: A new approach to die shape optimal design in bimetal extrusion of rods is presented. In this approach, the design problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem incorporated with ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of the front end bending arising in plate rolling. The problem, which is caused by unbalanced rolling, is investigated by the finite element simulation ...

Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic damage analysis method to generate seismic fragility curves of structures. Uncertainties in earthquake and structure are quantified by evaluating uncertainties in parameters that define ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study to develop reliability‐based seismic design criteria for reinforced‐concrete intermediate moment‐resisting frame buildings. The seismic criteria in the LRFD format are established on the basis ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach for the analysis of hot strip rolling processes. The approach is based on the finite element method and capable of predicting velocity field in the strip, ...

Abstract: A general nonlinear filter is derived for systems described by partial differential equations which contain random disturbances in initial and boundary conditions, as dynamical inputs and measurement ...
