Abstract: A method is developed to find the stresses and strains in an incompressible viscoelastic hollow cylinder with moving inner radius contained by an elastic case and subject to internal pressure ...

Abstract: The present study reviews some of the more significant recent developments in the area of structural reliability analysis, proposes new interpretations for and emphasis in some of these crucial theoretical developments, ...

Abstract: Dealing with the issues of response variability for statically determinate structures, this study analyzes the response variability in two cases in which the spectral density function of the stochastic field takes limiting ...

Abstract: This study utilizes remotely sensed pre- and post-disaster images in order to detect any change specifically associated with structural and major regional damage caused by natural disasters such as a strong earthquake. ...

Abstract: Currently the kriging and conditional probability density function (CPDF) methods are widely used in solving the conditional simulation problems involving stochastic processes and fields. For the fundamental understanding ...

Abstract: The investigation reported in this paper looks into the application of a number of system-identification techniques to problems of earthquake engineering. A number of techniques for structural-system identification have ...
