Fragility Curves, Damage Matrices, and Wind-Induced Loss Estimation

June 1, 2002

Author(s)

James J. Filliben, K Gurley, J P. Pinelli, Emil Simiu, M Subramanian

This note presents a conceptual framework for the definition of basic damage states and of the corresponding fragility curves and conditional probabilities, and its use for the estimation of damage matrices. The framework is designed with two

A Systematic Approach for Multidimensional, Closed-Form Analytic Modeling: Effective Intrinic Carrier Concentrations in Ga 1-x Al x As Heterostructures

January 30, 2002

Author(s)

Herbert S. Bennett, James J. Filliben

A critical issue identified in both the technology roadmap from the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association and the roadmaps from the National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative, Inc. is the need for predictive computer simulations of processes

Concrete Optimization Software Tool User's Guide

July 1, 2001

Author(s)

M J. Simon, Dale P. Bentz, James J. Filliben

This user's guide provides instructions for and examples of using the Concrete Optimization Software Tool (COST), a joint product of the Federal Highway Administration and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. COST provides an internet-based

Extreme Wind Load Estimates Based on the Gumbel Distribution of Dynamic Pressures: An Assessment

July 1, 2001

Author(s)

Emil Simiu, A N. Heckert, James J. Filliben, Steven K. Johnson

We present a contribution to the current debate on whether it is more appropriate to fit a Gumbel distribution to the time series of the extreme dynamic pressures (i.e. of the squares of the extreme wind speeds) than to fit an extreme value distribution to

Calibration of Thin Heat Flux Sensors for Building Applications Using ASTM C 1130

May 1, 2001

Author(s)

Robert R. Zarr, V Martinez-Fuentes, James J. Filliben, Brian P. Dougherty

Calibration measurements of thin heat flux sensors for building applications are presented. The findings support the continued development of precision and bias statements for ASTM Practice C 1130. Measurements have been conducted using a 1016 mm diameter

A Systematic Approach for Multidimensional, Closed-Form Analytical Modeling: Minority Electron Mobilities in Ga 1-x Al x As Heterostructures

June 1, 2000

Author(s)

Herbert S. Bennett, James J. Filliben

A significant, practical challenge, which arises in developing computationally efficient physical models for use in computer simulations of microelectronic and optoelectronic devices (e.g., transistors in digital cellular phones and in laser modulators

Discussion of Design Gust Wind Speeds in the United States by Jon A. Peterka and Sobhan Shahid, Journal of Structural Engineering Vol. 124, No. 2, February 1998, pp. 207-214

September 1, 1999

Author(s)

Emil Simiu, James J. Filliben

The discussion presents a critique of estimates of 50-year gust speeds proposed in the paper.

Comparison of Wind Loading Estimates Based on Extreme Speeds and Squares of Extreme Speeds

June 1, 1999

Author(s)

Emil Simiu, A N. Heckert, James J. Filliben

The hypothesis that better estimates of wind force extremes are obtained by analyzing time series of squares of wind speeds, rather than time series of wind speeds, has been considered in the engineering literature. We present results of Monte Carlo

Statistical Analysis of Partial Discharge Phenomena - Time of Occurrence Distributions

October 1, 1998

Author(s)

X. Han, N. Alan Heckert, James J. Filliben, Yicheng Wang

This paper presents time-of-occurrence (phase) distributions of individual pulsating partial discharges (PDs) which occur in a point-dielectric gap in air for ac voltage conditions. It is determined that the pulse phase distribution is adequately modeled

A Comparative Study of CMM Flat-Surface Inspection Plans

July 1, 1992

Author(s)

J Hsu, T Hsu, James J. Filliben, Ted Hopp

This document reports on the findings from a collaborative effort by J. P. Hsu of the University of Texas at El Paso, T. W. Hsu (also of the same affiliation), James J. Filliben of the Statistical Engineering Division of the National Institute of Standards

Tall Building Response Parameters: Sensitivity Study Based on Orthogonal Factorial Experiment Design Techniques

Author(s)

James J. Filliben, Emil Simiu

This work has two objectives. The first objective is to introduce structural engineers to the experiment design technique, whose future applications may include, among others: the total response of tall buildings, and the nonlinear response to failure of
