Estimates of Hurricane Wind Speeds by “Peaks Over Threshold” Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We report results that lend support to the hypothesis that extreme hurricane wind speeds are described predominantly by reverse Weibull distributions, which have limited upper tails. This is consistent with the result ...
Application of High-Performance Computing to Numerical Simulation of Human Movement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We have examined the feasibility of using massively-parallel and vector-processing supercomputers to solve large-scale optimization problems for human movement. Specifically, we compared the computational ...
