A Bayesian analysis is used to detect a change-point in a sequence of independent random variables from exponential distributions. In This paper, we try to estimate change point which occurs in any sequence of independent exponential observations. The Bayes estimators are derived for change point, the rate of exponential distribution before shift and the rate of exponential distribution after s...

This paper focuses on a numerical analysis of a hard rock (ore) disintegration process. A bit moves into the ore and subsequently disintegrates it. The disintegration (i.e. fracture of ore) is solved via a deterministic approach (FEM) and a probabilistic approach (FEM in combination with the SBRA Simulation-Based Reliability Assessment method, i.e. Monte Carlo simulations, stochastic inputs). T...

A fracture mechanics-based fatigue reliability analysis of a submarine pipeline is investigated using the Bayesian approach. The proposed framework enables estimation level pipelines based on limited experimental data. updating method and Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation are used to estimate posterior distribution parameters model regarding different sources uncertainties. Failure load cycle...

background: simulation can be used for educating, evaluating and assessing psychometric properties of an instrument. the aim of this study was to contextualize and assess the validity and reliability of the interprofessional collaborative assessment tool (icar) in an iranian context using simulation.   methods: in this descriptive study, contextualization of the icar was assessed through severa...

Products have to ensure their function under the influence of internal and external noise factors in order to remain competitive in the current market. Therefore the step of designing robust products should be integrated in early stages of the Product Development Process (PDP). Robust products are developed using the Robust Design Method SMART (Systematic Method for Axiomatic Robustness-Testing...

A model and simulation software for faults detection, analysis and prediction in multi-layered and single layered printed circuit boards is presented. Fault detection is an intricate process; an engineer must apply wits to search for ways of rectifying and preventing the faults inherent in any electronic device. By application of several electronic paradigms on raw data from test equipments, th...
