FORM (symbolic Manipulation System)
FORM is a symbolic manipulation system. It reads text files containing definitions of mathematical expressions as well as statements that tell it how to manipulate these expressions. Its original author is Jos Vermaseren of NIKHEF, Nikhef, the Dutch institute for subatomic physics. It is widely used in the theoretical particle physics community, but it is not restricted to applications in this specific field. Features *Definition of mathematical expressions containing various objects (symbols, functions, indices, ...) with elementary arithmetic operations *Arbitrary long mathematical expressions (limited only by disk space) *Multi-threaded execution, parallelized version for computer clusters *Powerful pattern matching and replacing *Fast trace calculation especially of gamma matrices *Built-in mathematical functions *Output into various formats (plain text, Fortran code, Mathematica code) *External communication with other software programs Example usage A text file containing ...

Form (arts Organisation)
Form is a Western Australian arts organisation that delivers programming tailored to specific communities throughout the state. It was known Craftwest until 2004. Organisation Form is a non-profit, membership-based, charity-registered arts organisation that focuses on multiartform programming tailored to specific communities. Form currently operates offices and galleries in Perth and Port Hedland, managing a range of exhibitions and projects, consultancy, and professional development services. Form is known for projects that often span several years (see below), and for its ability to generate innovative partnerships with industry and corporate sponsors including Wesfarmers and BHP Billiton. Notable projects Designing Futures, 2004–2008 ''Designing Futures'' was a project focused on the medium of fine wood, in response to the state government's newly instigated regulations to protect Western Australia's old-growth forests. In response to the changed regulations, the project e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
First-order Reliability Method
The first-order reliability method, (FORM), is a semi- probabilistic reliability analysis method devised to evaluate the reliability of a system. The accuracy of the method can be improved by averaging over many samples, which is known as Line Sampling. The method is also known as the Hasofer-Lind Reliability Index, developed by Professor Michael Hasofer and Professor Niels Lind in 1974. The index has been recognized as an important step towards the development of contemporary methods to effectively and accurately estimate structural safety. The analysis method depends on a "Most Probable Point" on the limit state C Annis"How FORM/SORM is Supposed to Work"/ref> See also * EN 1990 * Fast probability integration * Stress–strength analysis References Probabilistic models Reliability engineering {{engineering-stub ...
