Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEpoxy Insulators’ Lifetime Prediction Implementing Neural Network TechniqueL. S. Nasrat, A. M. IbrahimDue to wide implementation of Epoxy insulators in industrial applications and its economic implications; development of various Epoxy insulator materials has to be evaluated along with a reliable prediction methodology of their lifetimes. In this study, a new methodology based on Artificial-Neural-Networks (ANN) is developed to predict Epoxy insulators lifetime using laboratory measurements of their surface leakage current under accelerated … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 7 Aug 2012 · 7,791 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNonlinear Models and Experimental Investigation of Lifetime History of HSC Flexural BeamsK. Masti, A.A. Maghsoudi, R. RahgozarThe nature of fracture in high strength concrete is brittle and therefore, the investigation behavior of flexural high strength concrete (HSC) members is important. This paper describes the deflection, strain and energy ductility and the lifetime history of experimental and theoretical analysis of six caste reinforced HSC beams with different percentage of ρ and ρρ'. The beams were loaded incrementally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,756 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhancing Lifetime Data Modeling With the Modified Version of Weibull Distribution: A Comparative ApproachArjun Kumar Gaire, Shahid Mohammad, Yogendra Bahadur GurungThis study introduces a new two-parameter univariate distribution, a modified version of the Weibull distribution, for a non-negative realm. Originating from a framework introduced by Azzalini and Capitanio, the distribution exhibits a monotonically increasing hazard rate. It offers closed-form expressions for key statistical properties, including reliability functions, moments, moment-generating functions, and order statistics. An expression for random number generation is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,091 accessesView PDFCite
