Abstract: An improved Wiener path integral (WPI) approach is developed for predicting the stochastic response probability density functions (PDFs) of nonlinear systems under non-white excitation. Specifically, the excitation process ...

Abstract: n this study, a new data assimilation system based on a dimension-reduced projection (DRP) technique was developed for the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) modeling system. As an ...

Abstract: The impact of two bogussing schemes on tropical cyclone (TC) forecasts is compared. One scheme for bogussing TCs into the initial conditions of the nonhydrostatic version of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State ...

Abstract: This paper presents the substructure-based dynamic analysis of an offshore platform with compressor packages. Three typical substructure methods, the Guyan condensation method, the fixed-interface component mode synthesis ...

Abstract: The equations established for fiber reinforced composites by Zhao and Tandon using the theory of micromechanics are used to discuss effective stiffness moduli of fiber reinforced asphalt concrete under low temperature. The ...

Abstract: This study aims to improve the prediction accuracy of the computer-aided engineering (CAE) model for crashworthiness performance evaluation at speeds beyond those defined by current regulations and public domain testing ...

Abstract: Surrogate models play a vital role in overcoming the computational challenge in designing and analyzing nonlinear dynamic systems, especially in the presence of uncertainty. This paper presents a comparative study of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a reliability analysis method for automated vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control (ACC) and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) systems to avoid collision with an obstacle in front of the vehicle. ...
