Many dynamic scheduling techniques take advantage of out-of-order instruction execution to hide memory access latency. However, as the disparity between processor and memory speeds increases, delays in the load-store queue become more of a bottleneck. One way to mitigate these delays is to allow loads and stores to execute and retire from the load-store queue (LSQ) out-oforder. Unfortunately, w...

River basin sediment loads are affected by several factors, with flood magnitude and watershed erosional stability playing dominant and dynamic roles. Long-term average sediment loads for northern California river basins have been computed by several researchers by several methods. However, characterizing the dynamic nature of climate and watershed stability requires computation of annual loads...

Dynamic slope stability in open-pit mines still remains a challenging task in the computational mining design. Earthquake and blasting are two significant sources of dynamic loads that can cause many damages to open-pit mines in active seismic areas and during exploitation cycles. In this work, the effects of earthquake and blasting on the stability of the NW slope of Chadormalu mine are compar...

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the dynamic wind loads acting on a wind turbine model sited in atmospheric boundary layer winds. The experimental studies are conducted in a large-scale Aerodynamic/Atmospheric Boundary Layer (AABL) Wind Tunnel available at Iowa State University. A three-blade Horizontal Axial Wind Turbine (HAWT) model was placed in atmospheric boundary layer w...

This paper presents a new computational procedure for optimization of structures subjected to dynamic loads. The problem is formulated with discrete design variables that represent the members from table commercially available members. Also, requirements in American Institute Steel Construction (AISC) manual are as constraints. results nondifferentiable problem. In procedure, load transformed i...

This paper analyzes the effects of structures and loads on the static bending and free vibration problems of bilayer beams. Based on static mechanical equilibrium and energy equilibrium, the static and dynamic governing equations of bilayer beam are established. It is found that the value of the thickness ratio has a significant effect on the static and dynamic responses of the beam, and the st...

Judicious and regulated use of wood as a building material is better than that of many other conventional materials in terms of environmental issues of this century. The study of the behavior of wood requires a better understanding of the characteristics in different possible cases of loading including loads applied instantly, loads applied for a short time and loads applied for a long time. Th...
