A Discrete Data Base Multiple Objective Optimization of Milling Operation Through Geometric Programming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The optimum process planning of the milling operation has been attempted through multiple objectives. A multiple objective function based on cost of production and rate of production in milling ...
A Comparative Analysis of Change in the First and Second Moment of the PDF of Seasonal Mean 200-mb Heights with ENSO SSTs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on simulations from nine different atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs), a comparative assessment of the influence of ENSO SST variability on the first and second moment of the probability density function ...
Dynamic Bayesian Network for Predicting the Likelihood of a Terrorist Attack at Critical Transportation Infrastructure Facilities
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research is motivated by the increased awareness for terrorism related research in the post-
Three-Dimensional Groundwater Contamination Source Identification Using Adaptive Simulated Annealing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Determination of groundwater contaminant source characteristics such as release histories of unknown groundwater pollutant sources from concentration observation data is an inverse problem. Often solution to this inverse ...
Criteria-Based Decision Support System for Selecting Highway Alignments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the planning stages of a highway development process a number of candidate highway alignments are explored. While computerized highway optimization models can seek optimized horizontal and vertical alignments by minimizing ...
Reliability-Based Analysis of Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Considering Anisotropic Correlation of Spatially Varying Undrained Shear Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A reliability-based analysis of the bearing capacity of strip footings considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength of clay was performed using the random FEM. The effect of anisotropic correlation of ...
A Comparison of the Atmospheric Response to ENSO in Coupled and Uncoupled Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are specified and the oceanic evolution consistent with air?sea interaction is not included. This omission could lead ...
Reliability-Based Analysis of Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings Considering Anisotropic Correlation of Spatially Varying Undrained Shear Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A reliability-based analysis of the bearing capacity of strip footings considering the spatial variability of undrained shear strength of clay was performed using the random FEM. The effect of anisotropic correlation of ...
Simplified Approach to Estimate Lateral Load on Drilled Shafts Resulting from a Heavily Loaded Adjacent Shallow Foundation Using Horizontal Stress Isobars
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Application of Dedicated Monitoring–Network Design for Unknown Pollutant-Source Identification Based on Dynamic Time Warping
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Implementation of monitoring strategy for increasing the efficiency of groundwater pollutant source characterization is often necessary, especially when inadequate and arbitrary concentration measurement data are initially ...
