Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) may contribute significantly to the structural demands on fluid storage structures during the seismic events because of sloshing and impulsive wall pressure. A variety of simplified approaches are used in engineering practice to...

Code-based procedures rely on a simplified sub-structure approach for analyzing soil structure interaction (SSI) effects. This simplified approach separates the site response analysis (SRA) from the SSI problem. Such separation prohibits a holistic view of the entire...

We apply the method of compressed sensing (CS) quantum process tomography (QPT) to characterize quantum gates based on superconducting Xmon and phase qubits. Using experimental data for a two-qubit controlled-Z gate, we obtain an estimate for the process matrix χ with...
