Stochastic analyses of mechanical and biomedical structures with uncertainties
Stochastic models are developed to investigate mechanical and biomedical structures with uncertainties. The natural frequencies and frequency statistics of a plate randomised by point masses or with variation in its thickness are initially examined experimentally as well as numerically using a …

Análise probabilística da falha por colapso de risers e dutos submarinos corroídos
… may result in conservative or non-conservative analyses depending on the degree of uncertainty of the parameters affecting the considered failure mode. Stochastic analyses are recommended for a more consistent evaluation of corroded pipelines integrity. This approach provides a method to analyze …

A concessionaire selection decision model development and application for the PPP project procurement
… Then, the researcher applied appropriate stochastic analyses including mean-variance, mean semi-variance, stochastic dominance and expected-loss ratio to compare range values of NPV among different bidding proposals. A capable PPP concessionaire with the best project NPV performance can …

Direct and Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biomass Storage: Implications for Life Cycle Assessment of Biofuels
… significantly alters both point estimates and stochastic analyses of greenhouse gas emissions. While ethanol from cellulosic feedstocks still provides a greater than 60% reduction in greenhouse gases compared to gasoline, storage processes should be considered when assessing the extent to which …

Predicting and identifying signs of criticality near neuronal phase transition
… spiking neuron are investigated, focusing on stochastic subthreshold dynamics on close approach to spiking and to depolarisation-blocked quiescence (spiking death) transition points. Theoretical analysis of subthreshold neural behaviour then shifts to the anaesthetic-induced phase transition …
