Abstract: We seek to elicit individual design preferences through human-computer interaction. During an iteration of the interactive session, the computer queries the subject by presenting a set of designs ...

Abstract: This study examined the vibrations of a hinged-free nonlinear beam placed on a nonlinear elastic foundation. The authors found that specific combinations of an elastic modulus in the elastic foundation resulted in 1:3 ...

Abstract: Attitude estimation is an important issue in the autonomous flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system. However, for a micro-sized UAV with a wingspan of less than 2 m, a high performance Attitude and Heading Reference ...

Abstract: This study examined the vibrations of a hinged-free nonlinear beam placed on a nonlinear elastic foundation. The authors found that specific combinations of an elastic modulus in the elastic foundation resulted in 1:3 ...

Abstract: The need for better and longer lasting trileaflet valves has led to the design and development of the Abiomed polymeric trileaflet valve prosthesis. In-vitro fluid dynamic studies on sizes 25 ...

Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the fatigue behavior of artificially notched steel beams strengthened with four different types of materials tested under equivalent tensile stiffness. These materials ...

Abstract: Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) aims to accelerate optimal design of complex material systems by integrating material science and design automation. For tractable ICME, it is required that (1) a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the morphological characteristics of corrosion pits in reinforced concrete (RC) induced by stray current and chloride ions. The specimens retrieved from different corrosion environments were tested ...
