One reason for this discrepancy is a lack of transfer of knowledge from research into practice but also a lack of theoretical background of numerical methods, constitutive modelling and modern soil mechanics in practice. In this paper, the application of advanced numerical models for solving ...
The methods introduced in sections (3.3.5) and (3.3.6) are exemplified in this chapter by considering three problems reflecting some interesting applications from engineering mechanics. These problems involve a beam with random rigidity, a plate with random rigidity, and a beam resting on a ...
A decimal is anumberthat consists of a whole and a fractional part.Decimal numbers lie between integers and represent numericalvaluefor quantities that are whole plus some part of a whole. For example, in the given image, we have one whole pizza and ahalfof another pizza. This can be repr...
From the abovedefinition of qualitative data,it is clear that qualitative data describe the “quality” of something. In contrast, quantitative data represents the “quantity” or numerical value that can be used for statistical analysis. Quantitative datais usually obtained after asking questions such...
Qualitative methods Qualitative research is a method that collects data using conversational methods, usually open-ended questions. The responses collected are essentially non-numerical. This method helps a researcher understand what participants think and why they think in a particular way. Types of qua...
one of the most popular closed questions inmarket researchis theNet Promoter Score®(NPS) survey, which asks people “How likely are you to recommend this product/service on a scale from 0 to 10?” and uses numerical answers to calculate overall score trends. Check out ourNPS survey templa...

could be numerical value, alphabetical order, or any other property that has a defined order. The efficiency of a sorting algorithm is typically measured in terms of its time complexity, which is a measure of the amount of time it takes to sort a list as a function of the list’s ...

Bonaventura Cavalieri discovered an early version of this rule in 1639 and James Gregory published this variation in 1668 along with some other numerical methods for approximating definite integrals. The Method Simpson's method is based on the principle that, given any three points, a quadratic ...
