Estimating Design Loads for Floating Structures Using Environmental Contours

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Design Structures for Formally Veri ed Floating Point Units

A design structure is presented to assist in the design of IEEE compliant oating point hardware. The basis of the process is an abstraction of the bitwise operations found in hardware to reals and integers. This simpliies the deenition of functionality prior to going to hardware. The nal design structure will include a set of general algorithms deened for oating point operations (add, sub, mult...

estimating claims reserves using ibnr reserves

شرکت های بیمه در قبال بیمه گذاران متعهد می شوند که به ازای دریافت حق بیمه، خسارت وارده به بیمه گذاران را جبران نمایند. بنابراین بیمه گر همیشه مبالغی را بر عهده دارد که متعلق به بیمه گذاران است و مربوط به تعهدات آینده می باشد. این مبالغ را ذخایر فنی یا technical reserves گویند. بیمه گر موظف است در پایان سال مالی، هنگام بستن حساب ها، ذخایر فنی را محاسبه و نگهداری کند. پس از وقوع خسارت، بیمه گذار ...

Optimal topology design of structures under dynamic loads

Abs t r ac t When elastic structures are subjected to dynamic loads, a propagation problem is considered to predict structural transient response. To achieve better dynamic performance, it is important to establish an optimum structurM design method. Previous work focused on minimizing the structural weight subject to dynamic constraints on displacement, stress, frequency, and member size. Even...
