Abstract: Metal silos are subject to both internal pressure and axial compressive stresses in their cylindrical‐shell walls. Their design is often controlled by buckling. The buckling strength is greatly reduced by geometric ...

Abstract: We provide an introduction and state of the art overview of integrated layout design of multicomponent systems. We review several packing optimization and overlap detection strategies, some ...

Abstract: The true principal factors for the diurnal water-demand pattern of urban water are often difficult to identify using traditional rough-set algorithms because the demand pattern is usually affected by many factors that are ...
