Emergency response operations are very important activities in the industrial areas. As an incident in an industrial area can have considerable economic and social impact, response to such an incident has to be provided ...
A novel axially half corrugated thin-walled tube for energy absorption under Axial loading
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, tubes with different axial corrugations were studied under axial loading. Accordingly, a new axially half-corrugated thin-walled tube was developed to improve the energy absorption characteristics. The forming ...
On the optimal computing budget allocation problem for large scale simulation optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
Selecting a set that contains the best simulated systems is an important area of research. When the number of alternative systems is large, then it becomes impossible to simulate all alternatives, so one needs to relax the ...
