The standard textbook method for estimating the probability of a biased coin from finite tosses implicitly assumes the sample sizes are large and gives incorrect results for small samples. We describe the exact solution, which is correct for any sample size.

the efficiency and robustness of reliability methods are two important factors in first order reliability method (form). the conjugate choice control (ccc) and directional chaos control method (dcc) were developed to improve the robustness and efficiency of form formula using the stability transformation method. in this paper, the ccc and dcc methods are applied for reliability analysis of a co...

in this paper, the mechanical behavior of three-phase inhomogeneous materials is modeled using the meso-scale model with lattice beams for static and dynamic analyses. the timoshenko beam theory is applied instead of the classical euler-bernoulli beam theory and the mechanical properties of lattice beam connection are derived based on the continuum medium using the non-local continuum theory. t...

in this paper, the capabilities of displacement curvature derived from static response data for finding the location and severity of damage in euler-bernoulli beams are assessed. static response of a beam is obtained using the finite element modeling. in order to reduce the number of measured nodal displacements, the beam deflection is fitted through a polynomial function using a limited number...

Thermal buckling behavior of functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams in thermal conditions is investigated analytically. The beam with material and thermal properties dependent on the temperature and position is considered. Based on the transformed-section method, the functionally graded beam is considered as an equivalent homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam with an effective bending rigidity un...

The wheel-rail-sleepers system is simulated as a series of moving point loads on an Euler–Bernoulli beam resting on a visco-elastic half space. This paper concentrates on the railsleepers interaction system (railway system) and the fault detection. The main objective is to mathematically develop and implement a dynamic model of a railway system then the diagnosis of system defects using a Luenb...

We study the asymptotic behavior of the Euler-Bernoulli beam which is clamped at one end and free at the other end. We apply a boundary control with memory at the free end of the beam and prove that the “exponential decay” of the memory kernel is a necessary and sufficient condition for the exponential decay of the energy.

We find Fourier expansions of Apostol-Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler and Apostol-Genocchi polynomials. We give a very simple proof of them.
