Multiple factors, many of them environmental, coalesce to inform agricultural decisions. Farm planning is often done months in advance. These decisions have to be made with the information available at the time, including current trends, historical d...
In recent years, bounded distributions have attracted extensive attention. At the same time, various areas involve bounded interval data, such as proportion and ratio. In this paper, we propose a new bounded model, named logistic Truncated exponentia...
Nowadays considering trends such as digitalization, automated driving as well as electric mobility in products in automotive development processes is a major challenge, which has led to an enormous increase in the number of product functions of techn...
As the offshore wind industry develops, more lease sites in the intermediate water depth (50–85 m) are being released to developers. In these water depths floating wind turbines with chain catenary systems and fixed-bottom turbines with jackete...
In this paper, we present a transition journey of automotive software architecture design from using legacy approaches and toolchains to employing new modeling capabilities in the recent releases of Matlab/Simulink (M/S). We present the seamless appr...
The simulation of wave propagation and penetration inside ports and coastal areas is of paramount importance to engineers and scientists desiring to obtain an accurate representation of the wave field. However, this is often a rather daunting task du...
A rapid-response Lagrangian model for the use in simulation of the transport of a chemical pollutant in the Arabian/Persian Gulf is described. The model is well suited to the provision of a fast response after an emergency due to an accident or a del...
Precise environmental modelling of pollutants distributions represents a key factor for addresing the issue of urban air pollution. Nowadays, urban air pollution monitoring is primarily carried out by employing sparse networks of spatially distribute...
Using moderate electric field (MEF) techniques, Ohmic heating (OH) provides the rapid and uniform heating of food products by applying electric fields to them. A range of theoretical Ohmic heating models have been studied by researchers, but model va...
Numerical models are useful tools for studying complex wave–wave and wave–current interactions in coastal areas. They are also very useful for assessing the potential risks of flooding, hydrodynamic actions on coastal protection structures, bathymetr...
Textual editors are omnipresent in all software tools. Editors provide basic features, such as copy-pasting and searching, or more advanced features, such as error checking and text completion. Current technologies in model-driven engineering can aut...
The behaviour of steel structures is affected by two nonlinearities—the geometric and material nonlinearity—and by the unavoidable presence of imperfections. To evaluate the ultimate capacity of a structure, these effects should be taken into conside...
This paper focuses on parametric model order reduction (PMOR) of guided ultrasonic wave propagation and its interaction with damage in a fiber metal laminate (FML). Structural health monitoring in FML seeks to detect, localize and characterize the da...
In this paper, different optimization techniques such as multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis, the -nD angle, information divergence and multi-angle optimization methods were considered for comparative study in order to check their va...
A simple underwater noise model suitable for use with explosive severance of well conductors and piles during the decommissioning of oil and gas subsea structures is introduced and evaluated against data from five projects in the US. This study focus...
A simple underwater noise model suitable for use with explosives in the decommissioning of oil and gas subsea structures is introduced and evaluated against data from five projects in the US. The performance of the model is compared to four existing...
Research indicates that the projection of traffic volumes is a valuable tool for traffic management. However, few studies have examined the application of a universal automated framework for car traffic volume prediction. Within this limited literatu...
This paper aimed to justify the performance of a non-oscillatory TPA-based model proposed by the authors for capturing transient mix flow in sewer systems consisting of a variety of pipe shapes. The model utilizes a first-order Godunov Finite volume...
This paper presents a finite element-based numerical model for tracing the behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) beams. The model developed in ABAQUS can account for stress–strain response of UHPC and reinforcing bar in both tension and...
Incorporating human behavior is a current challenge for agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS). Human behavior includes many different aspects depending on the scenario considered. The scenario context of this paper is strategic coalition formati...
Inspection processes are becoming more and more popular beyond the manufacturing industry to ensure product quality. Implementing inspection systems in multistage production lines brings many benefits in productivity, quality, and customer satisfacti...
