Trust estimation of sources over correlated propositions
(IEEE, 2018-09-05)
This work analyzes the impact of correlated propositions when estimating the reporting behavior of information sources. These behavior estimates are critical for fusion, and traditional methods assume the propositions are ...
A simplified approach for site-specific design spectrum
(Springer, 2018)
The design acceleration spectrum requires site investigations and site-response analyses in accordance with the local seismic hazard. The variability in earthquake source and path effects may be considered using a large ...
Energy-based sidesway collapse fragilities for ductile structural frames under earthquake loadings
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
In assessing the likelihood of structural collapse under strong earthquake motions, uncertainties in structural properties and ground motions can be incorporated by use of a probabilistic analysis framework in conjunction ...
Approximations for partially observed Markov decision processes
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)
This chapter studies the finite-model approximation of discrete-time partially observed Markov decision process. We will find that by performing the standard reduction method, where one transforms a partially observed model ...
Real-time robust control of a series elastic actuator subject to uncertainties
(2018-12-24)
Humans are able to perform highly complicated tasks in their daily activities by interacting with the environment. However, for a robotic system, these tasks are quite challenging. To overcome these problems, robotic systems ...
Markov-Nash equilibria in mean-field games with discounted cost
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications, 2018)
In this paper, we consider discrete-time dynamic games of the mean-field type with a finite number $N$ of agents subject to an infinite-horizon discounted-cost optimality criterion. The state space of each agent is a Polish ...
Finite approximations in discrete-time stochastic control quantized models and asymptotic optimality introduction and summary
(Birkhäuser Basel, 2018)
Control and optimization of dynamical systems in the presence of stochastic uncertainty is a mature field with a large range of applications. A comprehensive treatment of such problems can be found in excellent books and ...
Thermal and optical interaction of tightly packaged LEDs in automotive lighting applications
(2018-11-20)
This study aims to enhance the thermal management of an LED light engine for automotive exterior lighting with an advanced heat spreader. Although LEDs have many advantages, their applications require an accurate thermal ...
A methodology to optimize damping pad application on a complex structure using finite element models
(International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV, 2018)
Passive constrained layer damping patches have been extensively used for vibration and acoustics applications due to their capability to dissipate vibrational energy into heat. In this study, we perform an optimization ...
Cooperative MIMO-OFDM based inter-vehicular visible light communication using brake lights
(Elsevier, 2018-05)
Inter-vehicular connectivity to enhance road safety and support highly autonomous driving is increasingly becoming popular. Despite the prevalent works on radio-frequency (RF) based vehicular communication schemes, visible ...
