Abstract: Researchers and manufacturers are collaborating to develop a robot that will be able not only to inspect pipelines but also to make repairs.

Abstract: Researchers are developing a faster but reliable way to build the core walls of tall buildings.

Abstract: In May 2008 Civil Engineering published a special report entitled “Are You Ready for BIM?” which discussed the benefits of a fairly new design process referred to as building information modeling. Six years later engineering ...

Abstract: A student collaborates with an engineering firm to develop a building information modeling (BIM) app for popular wireless devices.

Abstract: The response of the atmospheric circulation to an enhanced radiative greenhouse gas forcing in a transient integration with a coupled global climate model is investigated. The spatial patterns of the leading modes of ...

Abstract: Rotor imbalances of a wind turbine can cause severe damage of the turbine or its components and thus reduce the lifespan and security of the turbine significantly. At present, balancing of ...

Abstract: Unshrouded centrifugal compressor impellers typically operate at high rotational speeds and volume flow rates. The resulting high mean stress levels leave little margin for dynamic excitations that can cause high-cycle ...

Abstract: The response of the atmospheric large-scale circulation to an enhanced greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing varies among coupled global climate model (CGCM) simulations. In this study, 16 CGCM simulations of the response of the ...

Abstract: A combined control scheme relying on feedback-based local control in the vicinity of periodic system responses and global control based on a coarse-grained approximation to the nonlinear dynamics ...
