Corrosion Detection

A Blast furnace is an investment in the future. It is necessary that there is the proper dimensioning of all the equipment, systems and components as well as incorporation of technologies which assure the desired production and quality so that improved performance of the blast furnace can be achieved. Gas is one of the major resources of nature. Gas distribution across any part is processed by ...

Partial Smoothness, Tilt Stability, and Generalized Hessians

We compare two recent variational-analytic approaches to second-order conditions and sensitivity analysis for nonsmooth optimization. We describe a broad setting where computing the generalized Hessian of Mordukhovich is easy. In this setting, the idea of tilt stability introduced by Poliquin and Rockafellar is equivalent to a classical smooth second-order condition.

Cartel Stability with Time-dependent Detection Probabilities

To account for the illegal nature of price-fixing agreements, detection probabilities are introduced in a dynamic oligopoly. For a trigger strategy to sustain a non-cooperative collusive equilibrium as a SPNE both the discount rate and all per-period detection probabilities must be ‘low’. The domain reduces for which the strictest IC constraint is binding if (i) any per-period detection probabi...

Towards Corrosion Detection System

Corrosion is a natural process that seeks to reduce the binding energy in metals. The end result of corrosion involves a metal atom being oxidized. Surface corrosion on aluminum aircraft skins, near joints and around fasteners, is often an indicator of buried structural corrosion and cracking In this paper we proposed a new method on which we are moving towards designing a method to detect the ...
