Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verif ...

Wave energy conversion devices are a rapidly growing interest worldwide for the potential to harness a sustainable and renewable energy source. Due to the oscillatory nature of ocean waves, the power generated from a per ...

In wood-based composites, the glue-line (interface) between wood-strands affects the stress transfer from one member to the next. The glue-line properties determine the rate of load transfer between phases and these prop ...

A one-sixth scaled facility was constructed at Oregon State University to determine the pressure losses around Westinghouse's AP1000 Passive Containment Cooling System. An explanation of the AP1000 Passive Containment ...

The ultimate goal of large-scale design organizations are mainly to reduce costs and improve reliability and performance of systems while assessing how much risk (cost, schedule, scope) they can take and still remain com ...

Although researchers have begun to explicitly support end-user programmers’ debugging by providing information to help them find bugs, there is little research addressing the right content to communicate to these users. ...
