Introduction A New Approach in Engineering Economics
Engineering economy set of mathematical techniques for economic evaluation of investment projects that present value and internal rate of return method are among the most important of these methods. Managers and investors have many reasons to using internal rate of return greater willingness shown. This is while the serious problems associated with using internal rate of return method. In recen...
متن کاملMULTIPLIERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
In this paper we shall study the multipliers on Banach algebras and We prove some results concerning Arens regularity and amenability of the Banach algebra M(A) of all multipliers on a given Banach algebra A. We also show that, under special hypotheses, each Jordan multiplier on a Banach algebra without order is a multiplier. Finally, we present some applications of m...

Semi-active control devices have been shown to be more energy efficient than active devices and more effective in reducing seismic structural vibration than passive devices. A new type of semi-active control device, the piezoelectric friction damper has been made in this paper. Piezoelectric actuators used in the dampers can quickly and accurately respond to a voltage signal. They are also effe...

The ability to monitor the health of an instrumented structure, detect damage as it occurs, and issue an early warning during or soon after the earthquake (or some other natural or man made disaster), and before physical inspection is possible, has significant potential benefits in reducing loss of life and injuries, in emergency response, and in recovery following the disaster. The timeliness ...
متن کاملDisaster Mitigation Engineering -the Kobe Earthquake Disaster
The concept of plate tectonics is generally accepted in earth science and seismology. The surface of the earth is divided into rigid tectonic plates that move on the earth surface at extremely slow speed. The islands of Japan sit on the North American and Eurasian plates. The Pacific plate moves westward and the Philippines plate moves to northwest direction; both plates sink under the islands ...
