RISIs Early Warning Effective for the Improvement of Problem Solving and Project Performance?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since the first launch of the new engineering contract (NEC) in 1993, early warning of problems has been widely recognized as an important approach of proactive management during a construction or engineering project. Is ...
Involvement of Facilities Management Specialists in Building Design: United Kingdom Experience
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Facilities management (FM) has witnessed a rapid development since its nascence in 1980s. Following its development, the concept of involving FM specialists in building design, simply called early FM involvement, has ...

Allocation of Environmental Responsibilities in the Prefabricated Construction Supply Chain: Exploring the Influence of Government Subsidies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prefabricated construction has shifted a portion of environmental responsibilities (ERs) from on-site to off-site, prompting a focus on the entire supply chain. As an issue emerging alongside the prefabricated construction, ...

Universal Dynamic Model of the Tethered Space Robot
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The tethered space robot (TSR) plays a significant role in the noncooperative capture. Compared with traditional space robots and tethered satellite systems, the flexible tether and complex end-bodies bring great challenges ...
Study on the Dynamics of a Rotor in a Maneuvering Aircraft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper shows how the dynamics of a rotor in a maneuvering aircraft changes according to the operation of the aircraft. The mathematical model of an unbalanced rotor system located in the ...
A New Approximation Algorithm of Fractional Order System Models Based Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes a new approximation scheme which is an extension to the well-established Charef’s approximation method for fractional order systems. The method relaxes the constraints on the ...
