Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTHE THEORY OF COMPLEX PROBABILITY AND THE FIRST ORDER RELIABILITY METHODAbdo Abou JaoudeThe Kolmogorov’s system of axioms can be extended to encompass the imaginary set of numbers and this by adding to the original five axioms an additional three axioms. Hence, any experiment can thus be executed in what is now the complex set C (Real set R with real probability + Imaginary set M with imaginary probability). The objective here is … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2013 · 6,903 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Assessment of Buckling Strength for Compressed Cylindrical Shells with Interacting Localized Geometric ImperfectionsJalal El Bahaoui, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Larbi El Bakkali, Ali LimamProblem statement: Elastic cylindrical shells are common structures in the fields of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. These thin-walled constructions may undergo buckling when subjected to axial compression. Buckling limits to large extent their strength performance. This phenomenon depends hugely on the initial distributed or localized geometric imperfections that are present on the shell structure. Localized geometric imperfections result in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Strongly Coupled Linear Elliptic Systems with Application to Otolith Membrane DistortionI.K. YoussefProblem Statement: In this research, the author discussed the problems associated with the approximation of the mixed derivative terms appearing in strongly coupled linear elliptic systems by the finite difference method over irregular domains. To avoid the appearance of mixed derivative terms the author introduced a reformulation for the system through introducing a new dependent variable which adds one supplementary … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,714 accessesView PDF Cite
