Tuning the Fragility of a Glass-Forming Liquid by Curving Space [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 We investigate the influence of space curvature, and of the associated "frustration", on the dynamics of a model glassformer: a monatomic liquid on the hyperbolic plane. We find that the system's fragility, i.e. the sensitivity of the relaxation time to temperature changes, increases as one decreases the frustration. As a result, curving space provides

An investigation on vulnerability assessment of steel structures with thin steel shear wall through development of fragility curves [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2017 Fragility curves play an important role in damage assessment of buildings. Probability of damage induction to the structure against seismic events can be investigated upon generation of afore mentioned curves.

A reliability assessment of physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete walls loaded by snow avalanches [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Snow avalanches are a threat to many kinds of elements (human beings, communication axes, structures, etc.) in mountain regions. For risk evaluation, the vulnerability assessment of civil engineering structures such as buildings and dwellings exposed to ...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Corruagted Steel Shear Walls Using Fragility Curves [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Structural damages and subsequently considerable economic losses that ever made in catastrophic seismic events caused reaserchers and codes gradually move from prescriptive design to performance-based design.

THE DISTRIBUTION CURVE OF ERYTHROCYTE FRAGILITY [PDF]
Blood, 1949 Abstract 1. A simple method of representing erythrocyte fragility as a distribution curve of actual cellular fragility is described. 2. The importance of deciding the form of a distribution before using summarizing statistics is emphasized. 3.

Fragility assessment for electric cabinet in nuclear power plant using response surface methodology
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2019 An approach for collapse risk assessment is proposed to evaluate the vulnerability of electric cabinet in nuclear power plants. The lognormal approaches, namely maximum likelihood estimation and linear regression, are introduced to establish the ...
