Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for regional parameter estimation of the three-layer Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC-3L) land surface model with the goal of improving the streamflow simulation for river basins in ...

Abstract: The fundamental solution for saturated multilayered soils with anisotropic permeability and elastic superstrata is deduced by gathering the analytical layer elements of single-phase soil layers and saturated soil layers. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new efficient reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) method is proposed for structures, in which the double-loop optimization is equivalently decoupled into a sequential process based on a performance ...
