Structural Health Monitoring Sensor Network Optimization through Bayesian Experimental Design
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) may be exploited to estimate the mechanical properties of existing structures and check for potential damage. Among commonly used methodologies for property characterization, the Bayesian ...
Sensitivity of Precipitation Forecast Skill Scores to Bilinear Interpolation and a Simple Nearest-Neighbor Average Method on High-Resolution Verification Grids
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Grid transformations are common postprocessing procedures used in numerical weather prediction to transfer a forecast field from one grid to another. This paper investigates the statistical effects of two different ...
Verification of Precipitation Forecasts from Two Limited-Area Models over Italy and Comparison with ECMWF Forecasts Using a Resampling Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the first systematic limited area model (LAM) precipitation verification work over Italy. A resampling technique was used to provide skill score results along with confidence intervals. Two years of ...
Assessment of a Computationally Efficient Method for Industrial Simulations of Transient Heat Transfer During Autoclave Curing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical approach for transient computational fluid dynamics analyses of the autoclave curing process is presented, aimed at finding a trade-off between accuracy and computational cost that can make it industry-affordable. ...
Multisensor Comparison and Numerical Modeling of Atmospheric Water Fields: A VOLTAIRE Case Study over Cyprus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a study performed within the framework of the European Union?s (EU) VOLTAIRE project (Fifth Framework Programme). Among other tasks, the project aimed at the integration of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring ...
Passive Extraction of Dynamic Transfer Function From Arbitrary Ambient Excitations: Application to High-Speed Rail Inspection From Wheel-Generated Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The general topic of this paper is the passive reconstruction of an acoustic transfer function from an unknown, generally nonstationary excitation. As recently shown in a study of building response to ground shaking, the ...
