The Influence of General Surface Loading on Penetration of a Circular Punch into an Elastic Stratum
Engineering Transactions, 2015 The first of the authors (B. R.) derived an expression for the pressure distribution inside a circular region with vanishing shear tractions and normal displacements, due to the application of the forces distributed along the circumference on an elastic ...

Truncated Power-Normal Distribution with Application to Non-Negative Measurements
Entropy, 2018 This paper focuses on studying a truncated positive version of the power-normal (PN) model considered in Durrans (1992). The truncation point is considered to be zero so that the resulting model is an extension of the half normal distribution.

On the extent of the market: a Monte Carlo study and an application to the United States egg market [PDF]
This paper investigates the extent of the market, using a switching regimes model similar to those used in stochastic frontiers estimations. We started by performing a Monte Carlo simulation on our model, seeking to evaluate its performance in terms of ...
