Abstract: Prediction of differential pipe sticking (DPS) prior to occurrence, and taking preventive measures, is one of the best approaches to minimize the risk of DPS. In this paper, probabilistic artificial neural network (ANN) ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the accelerated thermal cycling test methods that are currently used by industry to characterize the interconnect reliability of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ball grid array ...

Abstract: One of the most important tasks of a civil engineer as a bridge inspector is the structural assessment of cracks on bridge decks and their supporting structure. Although the work seems to have low value, the financial ...

Abstract: Roofs covering buildings in the rural areas in Ahar and Varzaghan regions, prior to the August 11, 2012, twin earthquakes, can be categorized into three main groups: flat roofs composed of wooden beams together with a ...

Abstract: Low flow spatial scaling relationships have been defined by log-log linearity between 7-, 15-, 30-, and 60-day low flow probability weighted moments (PWMs) and drainage area size in north of Iran. The PWMs are used to avoid ...

Abstract: The linear form of the Muskingum model has been widely applied to river flood routing. However, a nonlinear relationship between weighted-flow and storage volume exists in most rivers, making the use of the linear Muskingum ...
