PROBABILISTIC ENHANCEMENT OF THE FAILURE FORECAST METHOD USING A STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION AND APPLICATION TO VOLCANIC ERUPTION FORECASTS

Probabilistic Enhancement of the Failure Forecast Method Using a Stochastic Differential Equation and Application to Volcanic Eruption Forecasts

We introduce a doubly stochastic method for performing material failure theory based forecasts of volcanic eruptions.The method enhances the well known Heatshrink Failure Forecast Method equation, introducing a new formulation similar to the Hull-White model in financial mathematics.In particular, we incorporate a stochastic noise term in the origi

EXPERIMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF 3D NARROW SPACE MAPPING TECHNOLOGIES

Narrow space surveying and mapping is of high importance for many applications, with the demand for digital PERFUME 3D models in a low-cost and relatively fast way growing rapidly.This paper examines SLAM-based and image-based mapping systems for indoor mapping and focuses on the comparison of the 3D point clouds acquired from two commercial mappin

Determination of the stress-strain curve in specimens of Scots pine for numerical simulation of defect free beams

The objective of this paper is to develop a twodimensional numerical model to simulate the response of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) defect free timber Motor Contol Board members in order to predict the behaviour of these members when subjected to external forces.For this purpose, data of the mechanical properties of Scots pine were obtained by
