Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis for Highway Bridge Superstructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The most popular type of bridge in service today is the concrete deck on steel-girder composite bridge. A finite-element model is built to analyze the superstructure of this type of bridge under working load conditions. ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Automatic Discovery of Design Task Structure Using Deep Belief Nets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the arrival of cyber physical world and an extensive support of advanced information technology (IT) infrastructure, nowadays it is possible to obtain the footprints of design activities through emails, design journals, ...
An Evaluation Methodology for Design Concept Communication Using Digital Prototypes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Digital prototypes (DPs) allow designers to communicate design concepts to users by rendering physical characteristics of the concepts. To enhance user understanding of the concepts, it is important that the users be able ...
Learning From the Past: Uncovering Design Process Models Using an Enriched Process Mining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design documents and design project footprints accumulated by corporate information technology systems have increasingly become valuable sources of evidence for design information and knowledge management. Identification ...

Construction Project Management and Insurance Program for Taiwan High Speed Rail Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main purpose of the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) project is connecting the major cities of Taiwan, Taipei in the north and Kaohsiung in the south. With the total construction investment amounting to approximately US$15 ...
Novel Extreme Learning Machine Using Kalman Filter for Performance Prediction of Aircraft Engine in Dynamic Behavior
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, a novel state-propagation extreme learning machine using a Kalman filter (KF-ELM) is proposed. In comparison with the plain extreme learning machine, the proposed algorithm takes the topological parameters ...
Adaptive Backstepping Attitude Control for Liquid-Filled Spacecraft without Angular Velocity Measurement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The attitude tracking form quaternion measurements for a three-axis stabilized liquid-filled spacecraft are studied under uncertain parametric and external disturbances. The sloshing liquid inside the partially filled ...
Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) Based Haptic Simulator for Dental Implant Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a hapticsbased training simulator for dental implant surgery. Most of the previously developed dental simulators are targeted for exploring and drilling purpose only. The penaltybased contact force ...
