In this work we analyse the suitability of using object-oriented features in high integrity systems, and the interest of redesigning a system implementation to include these constructs. The analysis was based on retrofitting object-oriented programming into the pre-object oriented design of the OBOSS software package. The evaluation of the impact was measured in a number of ways. The implicatio...

The goal of damage-mitigating control is to enhance structural durability of mechanical systems (e.g., advanced aircraft, spacecraft, and power plants) while retaining high performance. So far the reported work in damage-mitigating control has focused on reduction of peak stresses to increase structural durability. This paper presents a novel concept that takes advantage of the physical phenome...

The proliferation of harmful content on online social media platforms has necessitated empirical understandings experiences harm and the development practices for mitigation. Both approaches to mitigating that harm, often through moderation, have implicitly embedded frameworks prioritization - what forms should be researched, how policy implemented, moderated. To aid efforts better understandin...

Retrofitting works are immensely essential for deteriorated and damaged structures in Engineering and Medical fields, in order to keep, or return to, the originality for safe guarding the structures and consumers. In this paper, different types of methods of retrofitting review notes are given based on the experimental, numerical and analytical methods results on strengthening the Reinforced ce...

deep beams are type of beams which their behavior is different from conventional beams because of their particular type of geometry. in this paper, the retrofitting of these beams is considered and 10 deep beams are tested experimentally and discussed about retrofitting methods. experimental studies indicate that the use of cfrp bands in the direction perpendicular to diagonal cracks in compari...
