In this study, shear and peel stress distributions in the viscoelastic adhesive layer of a single-lap joint (SLJ) with functionally graded (FG) adherends are investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different adherend profiles and material composition on the time-dependent stress concentration/distribution in balanced and unbalanced SLJs. For this purpose, the Reddy model is applied to ...

In this paper, a new form of alpha-beta-skew-Laplace distribution is proposed under Balakrishnan [3] mechanism and investigated some its related distributions. The moments, distributional properties extensions the have also studied. Finally, suitability appropriateness has tested by conducting data fitting experiment comparing values Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) Bayesian (BIC) with other ...

We present a new method for error modeling applicable to the MLP algorithm for hierarchical lossless image compression. This method, based on a concept called the variability index, provides accurate models for pixel prediction errors without requiring explicit transmission of the models. We also use the variability index to show that prediction errors do not always follow the Laplace distribut...

We present an analytic model for the performance evaluation of hierarchical cellular systems, which can provide multiple routes for calls through overflow from one cell layer to another. Our model allows the case where both the call time and the cell residence time are generally distributed. Based on the characterization of the call time by a hyper-Erlang distribution, the Laplace transform of ...

Recently, quantile regression (QR) models are often applied for longitudinal data analysis. When the distribution of responses seems to be skew and asymmetric due to outliers and heavy-tails, QR models may work suitably. In this paper, a semi-parametric quantile regression model is developed for analysing continuous longitudinal responses. The error term's distribution is assumed to be Asymmetr...
