RISEntropy–Copula in Hydrology and Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he entropy theory has been widely applied in hydrology for probability inference based on incomplete information and the principle of maximum entropy. Meanwhile, copulas have been extensively used for multivariate analysis ...
Periodic Node Graph Based Framework for Stochastic Control of Small Aerial Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a strategy for stochastic control of small aerial vehicles under uncertainty using graphbased methods. In planning with graphbased methods, such as the probabilistic roadmap method (PRM) in state space ...
A Nonparametric Multivariate Multi-Index Drought Monitoring Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate and reliable drought monitoring is essential to drought mitigation efforts and reduction of social vulnerability. A variety of indices, such as the standardized precipitation index (SPI), are used for drought ...
Thermal Stress CAD Analysis of a Multi-Layer Composite of an Operating Transistor Package
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal stress management is a major factor in the design of an electronic package. Thermal mismatch among the assembled components induces thermal stresses within the device. Finite element ...
A New Method for Generating Stochastic Simulations of Daily Air Temperature for Use in Weather Generators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: stochastic harmonic autoregressive parametric (SHArP) weather generator is presented that simulates trended, nonstationary temperature values directly, circumventing the conventional approach of adding simulated standardized ...
Modeling Radar Rainfall Estimation Uncertainties: Random Error Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precipitation is a major input in hydrological models. Radar rainfall data compared with rain gauge measurements provide higher spatial and temporal resolutions. However, radar data obtained form reflectivity patterns are ...
Full-Scale Tests of Gapped-Inclined Bracing System: Seismic Retrofit for Soft-Story Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of full-scale experimental validations of the gapped-inclined bracing (GIB) system, a novel structural device for the seismic retrofit of soft-story buildings. The experiment consisted of ...
Multisite Generalization of the SHArP Weather Generator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGeneralization of point-scale stochastic weather generators to simultaneously produce output at multiple sites provides more powerful support for hydrology and climate change impact studies. Generalization preserves ...
Can Protracted Drought Undermine the Structural Integrity of California’s Earthen Levees?

Response of Low‐Rise Steel Frames with Fabrication Errors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An evaluation of the errors that usually occur during the fabrication and erection of bolted connections of steel frames is presented. Specifically, the significance of fabrication errors on the serviceability of low‐rise ...
