Abstract: Load-dependent Ritz vectors, or Lanczos vectors, are alternatives to mode shapes as a set of orthogonal vectors used to describe the dynamic behavior of a structure. Experimental Ritz vectors ...

Abstract: Volume estimation packages often lack tools for measuring and analyzing the effect of input data uncertainty and possible error propagation in the volume estimation process. This paper proposes and develops an empirical ...

Abstract: Discrete sequential stochastic programming (DSSP) is coupled with the MODSIM basin-wide hydrologic model to estimate the foregone agricultural value associated with water transfers aimed at reducing water shortages for ...
