Characteristic traffic load effects from a mixture of loading events on short to medium span bridges
In recent years, highway bridge load assessment has been recognised as an area through which savings can be made by avoiding unnecessary bridge refurbishment and replacement. Load effects in bridges result from single truck crossings or multiple-truck presence events which are, statistically, not identically distributed. Conventional approaches fit statistical distributions to mixtures of non-i...
متن کاملFlexible polymers in a nematic medium: a Monte Carlo simulation
Monte Carlo simulations of self-avoiding random walks surrounded by aligned rods on a square lattice and a simple cubic lattice were performed to address the topological constraints involved for dilute solutions of flexible polymers in a highly oriented nematic solvent. The nematic constraint exerted by the solvent is modelled by requiring that the distance between nearest neighbour chain segme...
متن کاملOn Generating Monte Carlo Samples of Continuous Diffusion Bridges
Diffusion processes are widely used in engineering, finance, physics, and other fields. Usually continuous-time diffusion processes can be observed only at discrete time points. For many applications, it is often useful to impute continuous-time bridge samples that follow the diffusion dynamics and connect each pair of the consecutive observations. The sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method is a u...
متن کاملTotal skin electron therapy (TSET): Monte Carlo Simulation and implementation
Introduction: Total skin electron irradiation technique is used in treatment of the mycosis fungoid. The implementation of this technique requires non-standard measurements and complex dosimetry methods. Operating procedures for total skin electron irradiation and its dosimetry vary in different radiation therapy centers in the world. In this article, validation of TSET techniq...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo simulation is named after the city of Monte Carlo in Monaco, which is famous for gambling such as roulette, dice, and slot machines. Since the simulation process involves generating chance variables and exhibits random behaviors, it has been called Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful statistical analysis tool and widely used in both non-engineering fields an...
