Abstract: Use is made of the boundary-integral equation to obtain numerical comparison to a family of classical problems. The numerical procedure replaces the actual surface by flat segments and numerically ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical modeling approach to characterize and understand high cycle fatigue life in gas turbine alloys. It is recognized that the design of structures subjected to ...

Abstract: Bayesian network models are seen as important tools in probabilistic design assessment for complex systems. Such network models for system reliability analysis provide a single probability of ...
