A blast event lies within the social system and involves people. Hence vulnerability to blast loading can be considered a socio-technical or "soft" system, where our ability to model and hence predict bounds on behaviour ...
The first part of this report is an univariate Analysis of time series data of the Southern Oscillation Index. The analysis was done in both the time domain and the frequency domain. The nature of the phenomena is such ...
Municipal solid waste has become a major problem in every country in terms of public health and environmental damage. As a developing country, Sri Lanka too faces the same challenge not only by public health and environmental ...
Structural optimization of solids aims to find the optimal designs of structures by
minimizing a constrained objective function such as the material compliance within a
given problem domain. This constrained optimization ...
