Abstract: Archimedean copulas are the most popular class of copulas used in hydrological statistical models. Parameter estimation of copulas is an open and complex task. A faster and computationally easier estimation procedure is ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simple, practical method of three‐dimensional stability analysis for concave slopes in plan view using the equilibrium concept. The force equilibrium and the moment equilibrium conditions over failure ...

Abstract: The complex modes of an end-damped cantilevered beam are studied as an experimental example of a nonmodally damped continuous system. An eddy-current damper is applied, for its noncontact and linear properties, to the end ...

Abstract: This work represents an investigation of the complex modes of continuous vibration systems with nonmodal damping. As an example, a cantilevered beam with damping at the free end is studied. Assumed modes are applied to ...

Abstract: The Technical Brief by Roache [1] presents ten items of discussion of our factor of safety (FS) method for solution verification [2]. Our responses are listed below item-by-item using the same ...

Abstract: A factor of safety method for quantitative estimates of grid-spacing and time-step uncertainties for solution verification is developed. It removes the two deficiencies of the grid convergence ...

Abstract: Based on the classic Lorenz system, this paper studies the problem of bivariate modulephase synchronizations in a fractionalorder Lorenz system, bivariate modulephase synchronizations in a fractionalorder spatiotemporal ...
