Application of i-SDT for safer flare management operation
(2019)Utilizing unburn flare streams in a safe way represents one of the key challenges during flare alternatives implementation. Most of the time, process safety is considered on a supplemental basis after accomplishing a ... -
Effect of austenite stability on fatigue performance of TRIP 700 steel
(2013)The role of austenite stability on fatigue performance of low-alloy TRIP steel 700 has been experimentally investigated. Heat treatment process was used to produce varying microstructures, characterized by different initial ... -
Efficient techniques for bayesian inverse modeling of large-order computational models
(2013)Bayesian tools for inverse modeling are based on asymptotic approximations and Stochastic Simulation Algorithms (SSA). Such tools require a number of moderate to large number of system re-analyses. For large-order numerical ... -
The electromagnetic environment of Magnetic Resonance Imaging systems. Occupational exposure assessment reveals RF harmonics
(2015)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems played a crucial role in the postponement of the former occupational electromagnetic fields (EMF) European Directive (2004/40/EC) and in the formation of the latest exposure limits ... -
Estimation of the prediction error correlation model in bayesian model updating
(2013)In Bayesian model updating, probability density functions of model parameters are updated accounting both for the information contained in the data and for uncertainties present in the measurements and model predictions, ... -
Evaluation of pavement maintenance and strengthening techniques
(2019)Prospects of the 21st Century assert that road networks will continue to expand while the existing road infrastructure will remain a valuable asset to be smartly and effectively preserved, operated and managed. The challenge ... -
Evaluation of road safety level during a recession period: A comparison using safety and economic factors
(2016)The level of road safety of an entity (country, region, road etc.) is estimated using the number of accidents, as well as the rates that take into account the amount of exposure. Despite the interest in studying the ... -
Failure analysis and fatigue life assessment of a redesigned aircraft landing gear component
(2013)The present study deals with the failure analysis, the redesign and the fatigue life assessment of a rod end component of the North American T-2 jet trainer aircraft, nose landing gear (NLG) system. The rod ends suffer ... -
Failure mechanisms of landfills under dynamic loading
(2008)Seismic stability of above-ground landfills is an issue of extreme engineering interest, and the proper implementation of the corresponding analyses requires dealing with several uncertainties related mainly to the special ... -
Fatigue of materials - Influence of microstructure and processing effect of overaging on fatigue crack propagation of 2024 T3 aluminum alloy
(2013)The effect of controlled overaging on fatigue crack propagation (Stage II) in 2024-T3 aluminum alloy was experimentally investigated. Overaging was performed by subjecting the material from initial T3 state to appropriate ... -
Finite element analysis of buried steel pipelines under strike-slip fault displacements
(2011)The present paper investigates the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipelines, crossing active strike-slip tectonic faults. The fault plane is vertical and crosses the pipeline axis at a certain angle. The interacting ... -
Fracture behavior of bimetallic Al-Cu LBW joints
(2013)Pulsed laser spot welding of copper tubing to aluminum sheet is currently used for the construction of solar thermal absorbers. The bimetallic joints should withstand high thermal stresses during the operation of the ... -
On the Closure of Aging Classes under the Formation of Coherent Structures
(2021)In this paper, we study the closure property of the Increasing Failure Rate (IFR) class under the formation of coherent systems. Sufficient conditions for the nonpreservation of the IFRattribute for reliability structures ... -
RF Jamming Classification Using Relative Speed Estimation in Vehicular Wireless Networks
(2021)Wireless communications are vulnerable against radio frequency (RF) interference which might be caused either intentionally or unintentionally. A particular subset of wireless networks, Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANET), ... -
Rolling contact fatigue of rails
(2013)Rolling contact fatigue (RCF) has been of increasing concern in the recent years regarding the safe operation of high-speed railway track with high traffic intensity. The present paper summarizes the results of an on-going ... -
