... sensitive to shorter or longer periods. INTRODUCTION Environmental contours are a known method for establishing extreme combinations of several variables of interest in the design of offshore structures. Several methods exist for their generation which use different mathematical formulations and result...

.... Geometrical setups and loading conditions for the high ratio of internal to external SCFs are highlighted and sensitivity of the results to input parameters are discussed in detail. Introduction In many areas around the world particularly in Gulf of Mexico, Far East and the Middle East, single sided welds...

... in G <0. In this way, the new population will approach to the limit state function gradually. So, the constraints in optimization model will be released, which can be solved by GAs easily. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the reliability to changes in distribution parameters is also made...

... when the sensor tilts, which results in the intensity change of the sensor's output optical signal. The specifications of the sensor are as follows: threshold sensitivity – 0.005 deg; dynamic range – 90 dB; measuring angle diapason – 00 – 50. The transducer can be used in precision measuring systems...
