buckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method
در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....
Kernel Quantile Estimators
SUMMARY The estimation of population quantiles is of great interest when one is not prepared to assume a parametric form for the u.nderlying distribution. In addition, quantiles often arise as the natural thing to estimate when the underlying distribution is skewed. The sample quantile is a popular nonparametric estimator of the corresponding population quantile. Being a function of at most two...
متن کاملSome improved estimators of finite population quantile using auxiliary information in sample surveys
The problem of quantile estimation using quantiles Qx( ) in which the order of the auxiliary variable is di4erent from that of the main variable to be estimated, Qy( ), is considered. Certain new estimators for the -quantile have been proposed for any sampling design. The e4ect of this modi"cation on the standard estimators, ratio, position, strati"cation, regression and di4erence type estimato...
متن کاملEstimating the index flood using indirect methods
Three indirect techniques for index flood estimation are analysed in order to evaluate their applicability and effectiveness. These indirect techniques, based on both statistical and conceptual approaches, are applied to a set of 33 hydrometric stations, located in a large area in northern-central Italy. The results show that the statistical model, due to its flexible structure, has a better de...
متن کاملEstimation of predictive hydrological uncertainty using quantile regression: examples from the National Flood Forecasting System (England and Wales)
Abstract. In this paper, a technique is presented for assessing the predictive uncertainty of rainfall-runoff and hydraulic forecasts. The technique conditions forecast uncertainty on the forecasted value itself, based on retrospective Quantile Regression of hindcasted water level forecasts and forecast errors. To test the robustness of the method, a number of retrospective forecasts for differ...
