This communication reports the status of the activity corresponding to the ESTEC contract ”RF Breakdown in Multicarrier Systems” (19918/06/NL/GLC/RF). The main objective of this activity is to propose alternatives to the 20-gap-crossing rule for multipacto ...
We introduce in this thesis the idea of a variable lookback model, i.e., a model whose predictions are based on a variable portion of the information set. We verify the intuition of this model in the context of experimental finance. We also propose a novel ...
This thesis tackles new challenges associated with the disaggregate modeling of the human behavior. Decision-aid tools help in making decisions, by providing quantitative insights on the decisions and associated consequences. They are useful in complex sit ...
The last decade has seen max-stable processes emerge as a common tool for the statistical modeling of spatial extremes However, their application is complicated due to the unavailability of the multivariate density function and so likehhood-based methods r ...
Bayesian inference of posterior parameter distributions has become widely used in hydrological modeling to estimate the associated modeling uncertainty. The classical underlying statistical model assumes a Gaussian modeling error with zero mean and a given ...
This paper focuses on experiments and simulations conducted in very sharp open-channel bends with flat and equilibrium bathymetry, corresponding to the initial and final phases of the erosion and deposition processes, respectively. The study of flow in cur ...
This paper presents a methodology that improves fatigue-performance evaluations using model-based data interpretation. The accuracy of stress-range values is essential for quantifying fatigue damage. These values are usually predicted using physics-based m ...
For the assessment of structural behaviour, many approaches are available to compare model predictions with measurements. However, few approaches include uncertainties along with dependencies associated with models and observations. In this paper, an error ...
Model updating is useful for improving structural performance assessments. This paper examines an important assumption of traditional model-updating approaches. This assumption requires the error independence between points where predictions and measuremen ...
The thermal effects on the Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) behavior are still not completely known. Under high temperatures, the processes that interact at early age are thermo-activated. All the experimental results obtained with ...
