Path transformations of first passage bridges

Structural analysis of the deck of access bridges in offshore docks under dynamic loading of moving heavy vehicles (Case study: 10 feet concrete deck with prefabricated beam, under the passage of 125-ton bogie)

Ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. This puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life. Pile and deck wharf and their access bridges and offshore deck (jetties), are one of the parts which are supplier of coupling between the land and the waterfront. Correct and exact estimation of...

Investigating the effect of pseudo-static components on bridge structures under multiple support excitations using conditional simulated records

Long-span bridges, as vital structures, play a very important role in economic development. Furthermore, the results of several earthquake-damaged bridges showed that their seismic behavior was different from that predicted under uniform excitation and in some cases the responses were more than predicted results. Therefore, the damaged bridges under non-uniform excitations were re-analyzed and ...

The mean shape of transition and first-passage paths.

Based on the one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation in an arbitrary free energy landscape including a general inhomogeneous diffusivity profile, we analytically calculate the mean shape of transition paths and first-passage paths, where the shape of a path is defined as the kinetic profile in the plane spanned by the mean time and the position. The transition path ensemble is the collection of ...

Seismic Reliability Analysis of Cable Stayed Bridges Against First Passage Failure

All-path: Finding Simply Fastest Path and Balancing Load by Flooding ARP Packets as Path Probes

Shortest path bridging overcomes the limitations of the spanning tree protocol in switched networks. Dominant approaches like Shortest Path Bridges (IEEE 802.1aq) and TRILL (IETF) Rbridges add a link state routing protocol in layer two to compute shortest paths between bridges, but these paths are shared by multiple hosts. Balancing the load at links requires complex equal cost multipath comput...
