Extremal structures with embedded prefailure indicators [PDF]
Preemptive identification of potential failure under loading of engineering structures is a critical challenge. Our study presents an innovative approach to design built-in prefailure indicators within multiscale structural designs with optimized load carrying capabilities utilizing the design freedom of topology optimization.

Bank failure prediction: corporate governance and financial indicators [PDF]
This paper reiterates the importance of corporate governance in banks. Failure prediction studies have mainly relied on using financial ratios as predictors. The most suitable financial predictors for banks are financial ratios following the CAMEL rating

Detecting Criticality by Exploring the Acoustic Activity in Terms of the “Natural-Time” Concept
The acoustic activity developed in marble specimens under various loading schemes is explored in terms of the recently introduced F-function. The novelty of the study is that instead of describing the temporal evolution of the F-function in terms of ...

Optical strain based pre-failure indication in failure process of geomaterials [PDF]
AbstractMultilevel extended digital image correlation (X-DIC) technique based on finite element method (FEM) is applied for measuring deformation of geomaterials under uni-axial loading condition. The concept of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is introduced for smoothing computed displacements as well as for calculating strain tensors at every ...
