13. Modal Parameter Extraction of a Huge Four Stage Centrifugal Compressor Using Operational Modal Analysis Method
Abstract In recent years, modal analysis has become one of the essential methods for modification and optimization of dynamic characteristics of engineering structures. This is the first published study to identify modal parameters of a complex four-stage centrifugal compressor using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA). Vibrational response was measured contin

14. Updating Finite Element Model Using Stochastic Subspace Identification Method and Bees Optimization Algorithm
Abstract This study investigates the application of operational modal analysis along with bees optimization algorithm for updating the finite element model of structures. Bees algorithm applies instinctive behavior of honeybees as they look for nectar of flowers. The parameters that needed to be updated are uncertain parameters such as geometry and material

15. Classical and stochastic mine planning techniques, state of the art and trends
Abstract Determination of the best possible ultimate pit for an open pit mine is a fundamental subject that has undergone a highly evolutionary process, reviewed in this study, since the correct choice carries substantial economic impact for the industry. The correct choice can be very beneficial for project analysis, whereas an incorrect choice has the pote

16. STOCHASTIC KNAPSACK PROBLEM: APPLICATION TO TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS
ABSTRACT In this paper, we study the stochastic knapsack problem with expectation constraint. We solve the relaxed version of this problem using a stochastic gradient algorithm in order to provide upper bounds for a branch-and-bound framework. Two approaches to estimate the needed gradients are studied, one based on Integration by Parts and one using Finite

17. Modeling Bayesian Networks from a conceptual framework for occupational risk analysis
Abstract Occupational risk is the possibility that some element included in a particular work environment can cause damage to someone’s health. Thereby, the risk is understood as the product of probability and consequences. In this sense, risk analysis through probabilistic stochastic techniques, such as Bayesian networks (BN), becomes an important tool to

18. USE OF STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODELS IN THE VARIABILITY OF PASSENGERS AND CARGO TRANSPORT IN SOME AIRPORTS IN SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZIL
ABSTRACT The proposed study is related to the identification of important factors that determine the feasibility of regional airport hubs in São Paulo State, Brazil. This way, new perspectives are created to map airports in this region based on economic criteria of operations and volumes. The study is based on statistical data analysis of time series relate

19. CONDITIONAL FDH EFFICIENCY TO ASSESS PERFORMANCE FACTORS FOR BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURE
ABSTRACT In this article we assess the effect of market imperfections and income inequality on rural production efficiency. The analysis is carried out using the notion of stochastic conditional efficiency computed in terms of free disposal hull (FDH) efficiency measurements. Free disposal hull and conditional FDH are output oriented with variable returns to

20. A Stochastic Reliability Model for Application in a Multidisciplinary Optimization of a Low Pressure Turbine Blade Made of Titanium Aluminide
Abstract Currently, there are a lot of research activities dealing with gamma titanium aluminide (γ-TiAl) alloys as new materials for low pressure turbine (LPT) blades. Even though the scatter in mechanical properties of such intermetallic alloys is more distinctive as in conventional metallic alloys, stochastic investigations on γ -TiAl alloys are very ra

21. A closer look at the main actors of Neotropical floodplain food webs: functional classification and niche overlap of dominant benthic invertebrates in a floodplain lake of Paraná River
ABSTRACT Functional classification of animals is necessary to enhance the predictive power of food web models. However, while there is a large database for functional classification of benthic invertebrates (Functional Feeding Groups, FFG) in the temperate zone, the attribution of individual species of riverine invertebrates is still in its infancies in the

22. A stochastic approach for the wind load effect on steel structures
Abstract The Brazilian design load standard still provides a wind speed map developed in 1977. Since then, new data have been collected and new charts have been proposed in literature. The literature not only alerts to changes in short-term wind gust patterns, but it also warns that the wind speed values are higher than observed in the past. Many researchers

23. An Implementation of Self-Organizing Maps for Airfoil Design Exploration via Multi-Objective Optimization Technique
ABSTRACT Design candidates obtained from optimization techniques may have meaningful information, which provides not only the best solution, but also a relationship between object functions and design variables. In particular, trade-off studies for optimum airfoil shape design involving various objectives and design variables require the effective analysis t

24. INCLUDING RISK IN ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS:A STOCHASTIC SIMULATION MODEL FOR BLUEBERRY INVESTMENT DECISIONS IN CHILE
ABSTRACT The traditional method of net present value (NPV) to analyze the economic profitability of an investment (based on a deterministic approach) does not adequately represent the implicit risk associated with different but correlated input variables. Using a stochastic simulation approach for evaluating the profitability of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbo
