Finite dimensional surrogates for extreme events
(2023)Finite dimensional (FD) models are developed for random processes X(t) with continuous samples. The FD models Xd(t) are deterministic functions of time and finite sets of random variables which are defined on the same ... -
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
(2017)This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium ... -
First Excursion Probability Sensitivity Estimation by means of Multidomain Line Sampling
(2023)The first excursion probability offers the means for measuring the chances that one or more dynamic responses of a structural system subject to stochastic loading exceed a prescribed threshold level within a certain time ... -
Fish Friendly Micro-Hydropower: Centrifugal Screw Pump-as-Turbines
(2023)Significant attention has been placed on the development of pump-as-turbines (PATs) for low-cost production of hydropower in the micro and pico scales. Research has focused on the modelling and prediction of the performance ... -
Fitness of a high-calcium slag for the production of alkali activated materials.
(ISBN: 978-989-54499-1-0, 2021)Alkali-activated (AA) materials are considered a more sustainable alternative to some traditional materials. This paper studies the feasibility of producing building materials by activating an Irish ground granulated blast ... -
Fitting improved hazard models for SAC/FEMA-compatible seismic analysis
(2023)An improved method of fitting second-order analytical functional forms of seismic hazard compatible with SAC/FEMA-style analysis is presented for use in performance-based earthquake engineering. A novel set of expressions ... -
Flexible modeling of the trend for geotechnical spatial variability by Gaussian process regression
(2023)The spatial variation of a soil parameter is usually modeled as the summation of spatial trend and spatial variability. Traditional, the trend is assumed deterministic and is fitted by spatial data. However, previous studies ... -
Flexural bond strength of natural hydraulic lime mortar and clay brick.
(2010)This paper measures the bond strength of natural hydraulic-lime (NHL) mortars, to further characterise their properties and enhance their use in building. An additional objective is to correlate bond strength with mortar ... -
Flow in a large wind field with multiple actuators in the presence of constant vorticity
(2022)Study of wind farms is an area of active research. Researchers have proposed simplified wind farm models which define the wake structure in a wind farm and how they affect the performance of the wind turbines. Interestingly ... -
Fluid inerter for optimal vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine towers
(2022)This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass damper fluid-inerter (TMDFI) for vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The use of an inerter in parallel with the spring and damper of a tuned ... -
Foundation damping for offshore wind turbines on monopile supports: a review
(2021)Today, an important challenge for offshore wind energy is to design efficient and reliable offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The overall damping of OWTs plays an important role in the design process as it limits the amplitude ... -
Four-Dimension (STEP) Seismic Resilience Assessment Framework and Improvement of Urban Power System
(2023)Power systems, the core of urban critical infrastructures, suffered heavy losses due to earthquakes. With the development of seismic resilience, seismic research of power systems have been extended to the overall concern ... -
Fragility analysis of steel and concrete wind turbine towers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)As the issues of global warming and a finite supply of fossil fuel based energy gain significance, the prospects and necessity for renewable energy concepts have become both socially and economically relevant. At the ... -
Fragility analysis of the IEA-15MW wind turbine blades using the surrogate modelling approach
(2023)With the concerns related to global warming and the political scenario threatening energy security, all the nations are moving toward renewable energy sources. Wind energy has seen tremendous scale and power generation ... -
Framework for probabilistic connectivity estimation of bridge networks under seismic and flood hazards
(2023)As observed in recent disasters due to earthquakes and floods (e.g. 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and 2020 Kyushu floods), since the transportation networks including bridges play a crucial role in the evacuation of ... -
Functional Connectivity Analysis (FCA): An efficient method to model infrastructure functionality
(2023)Due to the severe aftermath of past disasters, governments globally have acknowledged the importance of critical infrastructure and enacted legislation to protect and improve the functionality of infrastructure vulnerable ...
