Abstract: The unstable movement of the shock train in a hypersonic inlet–isolator always brings difficulty to its closed-loop control, and some methods should be taken to stabilize the shock. The flow control method, for example a ...

Abstract: Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is an effective automated data collection technology that has been adopted by a number of industries. Researchers and practitioners in the construction industry have explored ...

Abstract: Highway passenger travel demand forecasting provides an important basis for travel planning. Considering the relationships among travel modes (highway, railway, and aviation) is necessary to accurately predict travel demand. ...

Abstract: With ever increasing complexities, construction projects are constantly exposed to a variety of risks associated with all stages of project execution from the initial assessment of strategic options through procurement, ...

Abstract: Knowing real-time locations of first responders and occupants at building emergency scenes can be extremely helpful in improving the efficiency of first-response operations and reducing the chances of fatalities and injuries. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the Navier-Stokes equation of fluid, which is incompressible, viscous, changeful, and free surface, is solved by the method of volume of fluid to obtain the dynamic liquid pressure in a rectangular container. ...

Abstract: The robustness of construction project schedules is a key factor that determines the capability of the schedules in offsetting the negative impact of uncertainties, which are the primary causes of project delays. This paper ...

Abstract: Using the latest advances in virtual reality (VR) technologies, it is possible to create immersive virtual environments (IVEs) that can be used for behavioral experiments in controlled setups to examine individual evacuee ...

Abstract: To estimate life-cycle cost and future seismic capacity, the life-cycle analysis in seismic design of bridges is formulated as an interactive multiobjective decision-making and optimization problem. Specifically, preference ...

Abstract: Emergency broadcasts are one of the most widely used measures to disseminate emergency information among building occupants and guide their evacuation behaviors during building emergencies. This study aimed to assess the ...
