Abstract: Finite-dimensional lumped models of thermo-fluid processes are usually formulated from fundamental conservation equations. In dynamic modeling and system simulation, internal energy is often replaced ...

Abstract: This paper presents a stochastic model of fatigue crack damage in metallic materials that are commonly encountered in structures and machinery components of complex mechanical systems (e.g., ...

Abstract: This paper presents the analytical development of a multi-level hypotheses testing algorithm and an extension of the sequential bi-level test procedure reported earlier [1]. The multi-level test ...

Abstract: Total Quality (TQ) is a term heard a lot today. What exactly is Total Quality? How does it differ from traditional quality‐management practice? Is it another management fad? Should your organization embark on a TQ process? ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an ongoing research project where the objectives are to evaluate medium access control (MAC) protocols in view of the requirements for distributed digital ...
