A novel efficient methodology for probabilistic material reliability analysis considering fine-scale microstructure stochasticity is proposed in this paper. Integrated computational engineering requires multiscale capabilities to enable design and validation. Two critical challenges are identified: handling uncertainties from microstructures properties; the “curse of dimensionality” solvers. Th...

In this paper we present explicit formulas for the eccentric connectivity index of three classes of chain hexagonal cacti. Further, it is shown that the extremal chain hexagonal cacti with respect to the eccentric connectivity index belong to one of the considered types. Some open problems and possible directions of further research are mentioned in the concluding section.

knowledge management strategy is mentioned as one of the most important success factors for implementing knowledge management. the km strategy selection is a complex decision that requires consideration of several factors. for evaluation and selection of an appropriate knowledge management strategy in organizations, many factors must be considered. the identified factors and their impact on kno...

This paper is the first of a two part series. In this paper, we first prove that the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 satisfies the strongly blended $lor$-De Morgan law introduced in cite{Sa12}. Then, using this result and the results of cite{Sa12}, we prove our main result which gives an explicit description of simple algebras(=subdirectly irreducibles) ...
