Abstract: The paper addresses a model, a framework, and an implemented system for supporting design activities where the use of case-based reasoning may reveal particular appropriateness. In the proposed environment, special attention ...

Abstract: This paper is continuation of a companion paper in which a numerical assessment about the efficiency and the robustness of predictive control of structures was performed on single‐degree‐of‐freedom systems. In this paper ...

Abstract: In this and a companion paper, a methodology for implementation of modal predictive control of structures is described. Predictive control is formulated, within an independent modal space control (IMSC) approach, for the ...

Abstract: The present paper contributes on how to model maintenance decision support for the rail components, namely on grinding and renewal decisions, by developing a framework that provides an optimal decision map. A Markov decision ...
