RISReliability Based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Using Probabilistic Gradient Based Transformation Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently, solving the complex design optimization problems with design uncertainties has become an important but very challenging task in the communities of reliabilitybased design optimization (RBDO) and multidisciplinary ...
Parametric Modeling and Optimization of Chemical Vapor Deposition Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the parametric modeling and optimization of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for the deposition of thin films of silicon from silane in a vertical impinging ...
Water-Circulating Aerator: Optimizing Structure and Predicting Water Flow Rate and Oxygen Transfer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thermal stratification is a common phenomenon in deep lakes and reservoirs, which often results in water-quality deterioration, including such problems as hypolimnetic anoxia, the release of pollutants from sediments, and ...
Framework for Incorporating Probabilistic Building Performance in the Assessment of Community Seismic Resilience
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A framework is presented for incorporating probabilistic building performance limit states in the assessment of community resilience to earthquakes. The limit states are defined on the basis of their implications to ...
A Modified Reliability Index Approach for Reliability-Based Design Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) problems have been intensively studied for many decades. Since Hasofer and Lind [1974, “Exact and Invariant Second-Moment Code Format,” J. Engrg. Mech. ...
Framework for Incorporating Probabilistic Building Performance in the Assessment of Community Seismic Resilience

Abstract: A framework is presented for incorporating probabilistic building performance limit states in the assessment of community resilience to earthquakes. The limit states are defined on the basis of their implications to ...
Image-Based Approach for Road Profile Analyses
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Road profile extraction and analysis are essential tasks in transportation asset management. Current approaches use vehicle-borne laser sensors in order to precisely measure the variations in elevation along a specific ...
Hydrodynamics of Gravity Currents Down a Ramp in Linearly Stratified Environments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Gravity currents play an important role in many aspects of natural processes and engineering practice. This paper presents a systematic lock-exchange experimental study to investigate the influence of linearly stratified ...
Use of Virtual, Interactive, Musculoskeletal System (VIMS) in Modeling and Analysis of Shoulder Throwing Activity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Our purpose in this study was to apply the virtual, interactive, musculoskeletal system (VIMS) software for modeling and biomechanical analysis of the glenohumeral joint during a baseball pitching ...
Influence of Wind-Induced Antenna Oscillations on Radar Observations and Its Mitigation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As Typhoon Goni (2015) passed over Ishigaki Island, a maximum gust speed of 71 m s−1 was observed by a surface weather station. During Typhoon Goni’s passage, mountaintop radar recorded antenna elevation angle oscillations, ...
