Structural walls commonly used as efficient structural elements to resist lateral and vertical loads. Diverse performance of bearing wall system in past earthquakes, motivates investigation on the adequacy of current seismic design provision for these walls. This study considers seismic performance of model walls of bearing wall and building frame systems designed as ordinary and special struct...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

usually, in monitoring schemes the nominal value of the process parameter is assumed known. however, this assumption is violated owing to costly sampling and lack of data particularly in healthcare systems. on the other hand, applying a fixed control limit for the risk-adjusted bernoulli chart causes to a variable in-control average run length performance for patient populations with dissimilar...

transcendental leadership is a new paradigm in management and leadership that is the best way to deal with today dynamic, changing and turbulent environments. transcendent leaders make the ethical foundation of organizations and have strategic leads. these leaders look at the organizations as a whole that lead others, themselves and the organization. a transcendental leader is a strategic leade...

differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. a numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. reservoir is modeled using the eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. dynamic equilibr...

In this paper, a new field oriented control scheme with maximum torque for permanent magnet hysteresis synchronous (PMHS) motor has been presented. Vector control method provides significant improvement to the dynamic performance of ac motors but in this method d- axis current is controlled such as the ratio of motor torque to motor current is a maximum, then the dynamic performance will be ver...
