On the Characterization of Library Cells
In this work, a simplified method for performing characterization of a standard cell is presented. The method presented here is based on Synopsys models of cell delay and power dissipation, in particular the linear delay model. This model is chosen as it allows rapid characterization with a modest …

Numerical Study and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Calibration for Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls
… models. An important feature of the calibration method adopted in this study is the use of bias statistics to account for prediction accuracy of the underlying deterministic models for load and resistance calculations, random variability in input parameter values, spatial variation and quality of …
