The method of moments, as presented by Isenberg and Dyson (1969; Biophys. J. 9:1337) has been shown to be a reliable way of obtaining the amplitudes and time constants of several simultaneously emitting species, even in the presence of an overlapping excitation. Recent improvements in the method include (a) a component incrementation test for determining the number of relaxations, (b) a procedu...

Although the notion of topological interlocking (TI) is not new, today's environment parametric design tools encourages architects and engineers to reconsider potential TI systems alternative geometries for blocks. This paper aims generate alternatives blocks by increasing contact surface area using X-joints demonstrate relationship between incrementation structural performance slab-like assemb...

Cylindrical shell is a common structural design solution in many engineering fields, such as the foundation supporting structures and buoyant column of offshore wind turbine maritime sector. Operating an ocean environment, these cylindrical need to withstand combination axial compression, bending moment, torsion external pressure. This study contributes parametric investigation for unstiffened ...
