Abstract: The new risk assessment model in which the second-order reliability method and the importance sampling Monte Carlo (ISMC) simulations were interrelated was implemented to Wiseman’s Bridge, Newport, and Broadhaven revetments ...

Abstract: Real time wave measurements in Turkey are often interrupted because of operational difficulties encountered. Therefore, the lacking significant wave height, period and directions were simultaneously estimated from the ...

Abstract: An investigation of the performance of a model-based periodic gain controller is presented for a two-bladed, variable-speed, horizontal-axis wind turbine. Performance is based on speed regulation ...

Abstract: Heat and mass transfer analysis of evaporative cooling process in a potinpot cooling system is done based on Reynolds flow hypotheses. The model proposed herein assumes that the heat transfer due to natural convection is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theory of nonlinear state observers for nonlinear and bilinear distributed parameter systems. Convergence results are proved for these observers. Linear feedback control ...

Abstract: This article presents a brief account of scientific research into solar geoengineering in India in the last decade. In recent years, solar geoengineering has been proposed as an option to ameliorate the detrimental impacts ...

Abstract: An equation for the power spectral density (PSD) of guideway irregularities that have been constrained to lie within a designated band is formulated. The equation enables guideway designers to ...

Abstract: A domain decomposition approach has been developed to solve for flow around multiple objects. The method combines features of mask and multigrid algorithm implemented within the general framework ...

Abstract: Case‐based reasoning provides an approach to the reuse of previous design experience through the storage, retrieval, and adaptation of specific design projects. One of the major issues to be addressed in the application ...
