Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStochastic Prognostic Paradigm for Petrochemical Pipelines Subject to FatigueAbdo Abou Jaoude, Khaled El-TawilThe most important aim for industrialists is the prevention and the evaluation of their products state since non-predicted failure is very expensive in some cases. This can be done mainly by the evaluation of the &#34Remaining Useful Lifetime&#34 (RUL) by the means of prognostic approaches compensating the inconveniences of classical maintenance strategies. A proposed analytic prognostic methodology based on damage … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2013 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Multiple Traffic Classes in IEEE 802.16e WiMax Networks: A Petrinet ApproachS. Geetha, R. JayaparvathyProblem statement: WiMAX supports multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and video. Each flow requires a certain minimum bandwidth to achieve its QoS. Bandwidth allocation to traffic classes should be in such a way that fairness criteria is met with. Hence, we propose a dynamic bandwidth allocation mechanism to achieve fair and efficient allocation. Approach: We present a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 11 · 6 Sep 2011 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
