The present paper proposes a stochastic finite element based methodology in multiple scales for modeling composite materials reinforced with graphene nano-particles.
The MTHFR genotypes were assessed by the polymerase chain reaction-based methodology in a sample of 1199 unrelated Caucasian subjects with CAD, EH, type II diabetes, or a combination of these diseases, and in healthy subjects.
This study presents a GIS based methodology for use in the visual assessment of a potential new coastal fish farm development, focusing on both sea cages and the associated land based structures.
The present paper discusses a reliability life-cycle based methodology to adjust safety factors used in the design of tunnel linings in order to reach a specified service life, i.e. a variation of the safety factors used leading to an analogous reliability level at the start of the structures lifetime, which in turn provides a modification of the expected service life duration.
We develop a probabilistic graphical model based methodology to efficiently perform uncertainty quantification in the presence of both stochastic input and multiple scales.
The main requirements and advantages of the Monte Carlo based methodology are discussed in conjunction with the limitations of the traditional heuristic calculation procedure.
The results obtained show that the finite elements based methodology presented can be applied in the initial design stages in order to reduce the number of prototypes and reach the values required for their correct durability and reliability.
In particular, an input output inversion based methodology is devised in order to determine the open-loop signal that provides a predefined process variable transition from a steady-state value to another.
A general reliability based methodology is developed and implemented in the developed computer program (RELLOP) for both element and system limit states.
It is argued that such a risk based methodology allows for greater consistency in the application of any pedestrian/vehicle movement restrictions or alleviation methods.
It should be stressed that the Bregman-based methodology, in the last few years, has made rapid development due to the tireless efforts of Osher and collaborators [18, 21 23].
