While the usefulness of individual symptoms is limited (Ford et al, 2008; Hamilton et al, 2008; Hamilton et al, 2009; Olde Bekkink et al, 2010; Adelstein et al, 2011; Astin et al, 2011), a more appropriate approach would be to base the decision for referral using a combination of multiple risk factors, by means of a multivariable prediction model.
predicts the pressure spectrum on the airfoil surface which is then used to compute the far-field sound by means of a hybrid noise prediction.
We illustrate the usage of this toolbox by means of a real-world manufacturing defect prediction case study.
Open image in new window Fig. 7 Effect of shear span-to-depth ratio, a v /d, on shear strength predictions by means of: a proposed strut-and-tie model approach; and b the shear-friction model used by the ACI 318-11 for 357 reinforced concrete corbels.
In our image segmentation pipeline, we use FCNs to obtain normalized images, which are then iteratively refined by means of a FC-ResNet to generate a segmentation prediction.
The effectiveness is studied by means of a three-dimensional numerical model for the prediction of railway induced vibrations that fully accounts for the interaction between the train, the track and the soil.
In silico fluid structure interaction (FSI) approach is used for providing a realistic representation of the flow through a bileaflet MHV model, and a Lagrangian analysis is adopted for characterizing the mechanism of mechanically induced activation of platelets by means of a mathematical model for platelet activation state prediction.
The proposed approach improves the prediction accuracy by means of a calibration procedure, whose sensitivity is further analyzed in the paper.
We model the foam as a continuum in which waves of dilatation and distortion can propagate, obtain approximate solutions for the frequency response of the system by means of a modal expansion, and find that the predictions are in close agreement with the measured responses.
Model prediction capability was optimized by means of a genetic algorithm (GA).
