This paper introduces a novel design concept for the development of efficient, sustainable Rocking-Wall Moment Frames (RWMFs) under seismic conditions. The proposed concepts lead to a novel structural configuration with provisions for Collapse Prevention (CP), Self-Centering (SC), reparability, performance control (PC), damage reduction, and energy based seismic analysis. It introduces the meri...

We present a systematic way of studying state machine based design spaces and apply it to the study of asynchronous pipelines. Starting with the specification of the most concurrent behaviour as a state machine, all possible valid smaller designs may be generated by systematically removing structured patterns of output states (L cuts) and input states (R cuts). Taking the cartesian product of c...

A novel Markov model for the reliability prediction of fault-tolerant non-homogenous VLSI and WSI multipipeline arrays is presented. The PEs of the array are assumed to fail independently (with a constant failure rate) at different moments and the transition rate between two different error states is constant. A total system failure is reached when the number of working pipelines becomes less t...

n this essay, we present design and simulation of a Leakage detection and alocation of oil pipelines system using sensing the temperature distribution of optical fiber by COMSOL Multiphysics software. In this system, telecommunication single-mode optical fiber, 200 m typical length is used, in 1.55 μm electromagnetic wave. The proposed system, uses of Brillouin frequency shift occurred on fiber...

When structures are subjected to strong ground motion excitations, structural elements may be prone to yielding, and consequently experience significant levels of inelastic behavior. The effects of inelastic behavior on the distribution of peak floor loads are not explicitly accounted for in current seismic code procedures. During recent years, many studies have been conducted to develop new de...

The magnitude of a branch misprediction penalty is highly dependent on processor pipeline depth. Although longer pipelines may allow higher clock frequency, because less logic is performed in each stage, a fundamental trade-off exists between increased clock speed and accumulated misprediction penalties. Some programs, with easily predictable branches, will perform optimally on long pipelines. ...

This paper provides a description of the different databases and various influencing factors in the development of a tool to estimate the failure rate of cross-country pipelines. The databases available cover a number of different materials transported: crude oil and liquid products, and natural gas. The various databases give excellent base data to estimate the likelihood of failures of cross-...

In this paper, a design of an ADALINE adaptive filter based noise cancellation based on fine-grained pipelines is presented. The circuit is implemented from 32-bit floatingpoint arithmetic function units which are partitioned into proper fine-grained pipeline stages. Fine-grained pipeline resource-sharing is performed to minimize the circuit size. The ADALINE adaptive filter is implemented on a...

A vision of the digital twins subsea pipelines is provided in this paper, with a coverage current applications and challenges design, construction, service life, assessments life extension. Digital are described as paradigm combining multi-physics modelling data-driven analytics, which used to mirror its corresponding twin. Realistic virtual models structural systems shown bridge gap between de...

Introduction Embedded Systems are now becoming more ubiquitous, pervasive and touching virtually all aspects of daily life. From mobile telephones to automobiles, and industrial equipment to high end medical devices, embedded systems now form part of a wide range of devices. Along with non recurring engineering cost, power consumption, die size and performance are some of the main design challe...
