Using Error Equivalence Concept to Automatically Adjust Discrete Manufacturing Processes for Dimensional Variation Control
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional statistical process control (SPC) has been widely employed for the process monitoring in discrete part manufacturing. However, SPC does not consider any adjustment preventing the process ...
A Numerical Study of Typhoon Megi (2010). Part II: Eyewall Evolution Crossing the Luzon Island
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Application of Decision-Support Tools for Seasonal Water Supply Management that Incorporates System Uncertainties and Operational Constraints
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Public water utilities face uncertain decisions every day in their efforts to meet drinking water needs of customers. Real-time decision-support tools (DST) are often used by water managers to solve a variety of water ...
Unsupervised and Simultaneous Stratigraphic Interpretation of CPT Soundings at Site Scale
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a novel Bayesian machine-learning approach for unsupervised and simultaneous soil stratigraphic interpretation of cone penetration test (CPT) soundings at the site scale. The proposed approach interprets ...
Improving Efficiency of the Bayesian Approach to Water Distribution Contaminant Source Characterization with Support Vector Regression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are multiple sources of uncertainties in urban water-distribution systems, e.g., nodal water demand and sensor measurement error. All of these uncertainties increase the complexity of contaminant source identification ...
Bayesian Update Method for Contaminant Source Characterization in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bayesian analysis has application to probabilistic source characterization in water distribution systems. A new implementation of Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for this problem is described. The solution addresses the ...
Multi-Operational Machining Processes Modeling for Sequential Root Cause Identification and Measurement Reduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Variation propagation modeling has been proved to be an effective way for variation reduction and design synthesis in multi-operational manufacturing processes. However, previously developed approaches ...
Investigation of Layer Contributions to Asphalt Pavement Rutting
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As one of the main distresses that may occur in asphalt pavements, rutting affects pavement performance the most significantly. This paper presents the investigation of the contributions of the structural layers to the ...
Simplified Methodology for the Evaluation of the Residual Strength of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Steel corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures leads to change of steel mechanical properties, longitudinal cracking in the concrete cover, and other related effects that weaken the serviceability and load capacity ...
Distributed Augmented Reality for Visualizing Collaborative Construction Tasks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Augmented reality is a visualization method in which virtual objects are aligned with the real world and the viewer can interact with the virtual objects in real time. In this paper, a new methodology called distributed ...
