Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

Sustainable Engineering: The Future of Structural Design

Structural engineers face significant challenges in the 21 st century and among them, global environmental challenges must be a priority for our profession. On a planet with finite natural resources and an ever-growing built environment, engineers of the future must consider the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of structural design. To achieve a more sustainable built environm...

Membrane Engineering: Future Perspectives

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...

Probabilistic & Statistical Design— the Wave of the Future

Abstract. As technology scales, variability will continue to become worse. Random dopant fluctuations, sub-wavelength lithography, and dynamic variations due to circuit behavior will look like inherent unreliability in the design. Increasing soft errors will increase intermittent error rate by almost two orders of magnitude. As transistors scale even further, degradation due to aging will becom...
