Application Of An Itô-Based Approximation Method To Random Vibration Of A Pinching Hysteretic System, Mohammad N. Noori, Mark D. Padua, Hamid Davoodi Jul 1992

Application Of An Itô-Based Approximation Method To Random Vibration Of A Pinching Hysteretic System, Mohammad N. Noori, Mark D. Padua, Hamid Davoodi

Office of the Dean (CENG) Scholarship

In this paper, an extension of the Cumulant-Neglect closure scheme is utilized for the random vibration analysis of a single degree of freedom system with a general pinching hysteresis restoring force. The hysteresis element used in the system model can simulate commonly observed forms of stiffness, strength and pinching degradations. The second order statistics of the system response to a stationary Gaussian white noise input are derived using an Itô-based approximation technique. The validity of these response statistics are then verified by comparing them to Monte Carlo simulation results. The numerical studies performed for different combinations of degradation parameters and …

Giant Sequoia Insect, Disease, And Ecosystem Interactions, Douglas D. Piirto Jun 1992

Giant Sequoia Insect, Disease, And Ecosystem Interactions, Douglas D. Piirto

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

Individual trees of giant sequoia (Sequoia gigantea [Lindl.] Decne.) have demonstrated a capacity to attain both a long life and very large size. It is not uncommon to find old-growth giant sequoia trees in their native range that are 1,500 years old and over 15 feet in diameter at breast height. The ability of individual giant sequoia trees to survive over such long periods of time has often been attributed to the species high resistance to disease, insect, and fire damage. Such a statement, however, is a gross oversimplification, given broader ecosystem and temporal interactions. For example, why isn't …

On The Game Of Googol, Theodore P. Hill, Ulrich Krengel Jun 1992

On The Game Of Googol, Theodore P. Hill, Ulrich Krengel

Research Scholars in Residence

In the classical secretary problem the decision maker can only observe the relative ranks of the items presented. Recently, Ferguson — building on ideas of Stewart — showed that, in a game theoretic sense, there is no advantage if the actual values of the random variables underlying the relative ranks can be observed (game of googol). We extend this to the case where the number of items is unknown with a known upper bound. Corollary 3 extends one of the main results in [HK] to all randomized stopping times. We also include a modified, somewhat more formal argument for Ferguson's …

The Three-Line Magnetic Hyperfine Spectrum Of 57Fe, Norman A. Blum, Richard B. Frankel May 1992

The Three-Line Magnetic Hyperfine Spectrum Of 57Fe, Norman A. Blum, Richard B. Frankel

Physics

Longitudinal magnetization of a 57Co in iron metal foil source and an iron metal foil absorber in a uniform external magnetic field results in a simple three-line magnetic hyperfine absorption spectrum. Measurement of the spectral splitting as a function of applied magnetic field yields the 57Fe excited-and ground-state g-factors.


Sharp Inequalities For Optimal Stopping With Rewards Based On Ranks, Theodore P. Hill, D. P. Kennedy May 1992

Sharp Inequalities For Optimal Stopping With Rewards Based On Ranks, Theodore P. Hill, D. P. Kennedy

Research Scholars in Residence

A universal bound for the maximal expected reward is obtained for stopping a sequence of independent random variables where the reward is a nonincreasing function of the rank of the variable selected. This bound is shown to be sharp in three classical cases: (i) when maximizing the probability of choosing one of the k best; (ii) when minimizing the expected rank; and (iii) for an exponential function of the rank.
