This article proposes a promising seismic isolation method especially suitable for developing countries like India. This scheme includes the use of a rubber soil mixture. Here, the performance of a well-designed layer of sand mixed with shredded rubber as foundation isolation is studied...

At the time of writing this article, Fourier inversion is the computational method of choice for a fast and accurate calculation of plain vanilla option prices in models with an analytically available characteristic function. Shifting the contour of integration along the complex plane allows for...

A tower of an offshore wind turbine usually has several sections. The sections need to be assembled to form a full tower and be ready for nacelle installation. The assembly work can be performed at a designated sea site but it can be exposed in many risks. Instead, towers can be pre-assembled at...
