A family of performance control policies of stochastic dynamic systems are proposed based on the probability density evolution theory and numerical optimizing strategies [...]

The paper presents a family of original PDEM-based reliability evaluation methods for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems. In the past years, a family of probability d [...]

The explicit expression of random ground motion is incorporated into the probability density evolution method to implement stochastic seismic analysis. Recently, two kind [...]

In this paper, a path-based recursive decomposition algorithm (PRDA) and a cut-based recursive decomposition algorithm (CRDA) are introduced to evaluate the network relia [...]

The uncertainties involved in the input information (e.g., the randomness in the excitations and the structural parameters) could be called the source of randomness (SOR) [...]

This paper deals with the measurement of surface wind speed and direction with high accuracy and high resolution by using system based on the sensor network technology. T [...]

There is a critical need to collect building damage information quickly and efficiently in the aftermath of hurricanes and tornadoes. This paper proposes a web-based data [...]

This paper reports the potential reuse of incineration fly ash (IFA) as cement supplements in the production of engineered cementitious composites (ECC), a unique class o [...]
