Abstract: Current bridge health index (BHI) in Pontis bridge management system applied to assess the bridge health conditions for 615 bridges in the city and county of Denver (CCD) does not provide CCD engineers a valuable analysis ...

Abstract: In real-world applications, a nominal model is usually used to approximate the practical system for design and control. This approximation may make the traditional robust design less effective ...

Abstract: A novel integrated approach is developed to design systems for stability and robustness. First, design parameters with large variation bounds are chosen to maintain system stability. Then, a ...

Abstract: In real-world applications, a nominal model is often used to approximate the design of an industrial system. This approximation could make the traditional design method less effective due to ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel robust design approach is proposed to design the robustness of the nonlinear system under large uncontrollable variation. First, a variable sensitivity approach is proposed ...

Abstract: Model uncertainty often results from incomplete system knowledge or simplification made at the design stage. In this paper, a hybrid model/data-based probabilistic design approach is proposed to ...

Abstract: This study experimentally investigated the degradation of tensile properties of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) profiles under acidic conditions. The effects of the temperature, pH value, and BFRP thickness were ...

Abstract: Intelligent recognition of bulges, windows, and other features in building gable point cloud data is a prerequisite and critical step for the implementation of automated spray-painting in construction. Gable point cloud ...
