the existence of some geometrically imperfect members, like initial curvature in a double layer space structures with hundreds or thousands of members is almost inevitable. these imperfections give rise to loss of load bearing capacity of double layer space structures. to evaluate the effect of initial member imperfection on load bearing capacity of double layer space structures and their failu...

In this study, the torsional stability analysis is presented for thin cylindrical with the functionally graded (FG) middle layer resting on the Winker elastic foundation. The mechanical properties of functionally graded material (FGM) are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law and exponential distributions in terms of volume fractions of the constituents...

This paper investigates the behavior of parallel randomized algorithms in systems with dynamically changing loads. A theoretical analysis and some simulation results are presented. The sequential run time distributions considered are the exponential distribution, uniform distributions and twofold uniform distributions. A stochastic process is used to model the load in the simulated system.

Previous workk5] has summarized our experiences working with the Hillsborough Fire Rescue Department and FEMA documents pertaining to Urban Search and Rescue. This paper discusses the lessons learned and casts them into four main categories of tasks for the physical agent portion of RoboCup-Rescue: 1) reconnaissance and site assessment, 2) rescuer safety, 3) victim detection, and 4) mapping and...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are getting increasingly common, and typical network loads considered for MANETs are incrementing as applications progress. This, in turn, increases the importance of bandwidth efficiency while maintaining close needs on energy consumption, delay and nervousness. Coordinated channel access protocols have been shown to be befitted for highly loaded MANETs under im...

Banda Aceh City was a high level areas of the earthquake and tsunami damage that occurred in 2004. Building prevention can be done by planning earthquake-resistant school building structures. The rebuilding needs to reviewed for its capacity structure because risk location hazards. This study aims determine behavior using scenario 2004 Aceh. Capacity analysis column enlargement existing is one ...

The present study offers a deductive design procedure based on designs that have been optimally screened in accordance with ASCE 41-17's nonlinear static (NSP). subsequent phase inferred linear methodology from the philosophy underlying NSP of 41-17. deduced is applied to provide set optimal 6-story SMRF under two load patterns: code-based and first-mode shape patterns. by proposed are compared...

The dwell times between two successive steps of the two-headed molecular motor myosin V are governed by non-exponential distributions. These distributions have been determined experimentally for various control parameters such as nucleotide concentrations and external load force. First, we use a simplified network representation to determine the dwell time distributions of myosin V, with the as...
