Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

Creator:: Shankar Raman, Arvind
Abstract:: Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...

Long Wave Amplification in a Coral-Reef Lagoon

Creator:: Bheeroo, Vivek Anand
Abstract:: A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to study the wave field in the inner lagoon excited by ‘long’ incident waves. Three cases were considered: Cases A, B and C presenting incident waves of wavelength with factors of 1, 2 and 2.5 times the width of the reef respectively. The...

Optimization of seasonal irrigation scheduling by genetic algorithms

Creator:: Canpolat, Necati
Abstract:: In this work, we first introduce a novel approach to the long term irrigation scheduling using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). We explore the effectiveness of GAs in the context of optimizing nonlinear crop models and describe application requirements and implementation of the technique. GAs were found to converge quickly to near-optimal...

Seismic performance of a pile-supported container wharf structures in rockfill

Creator:: Kawamata, Yohsuke
Abstract:: Recently, the concept of performance based design has become popular for many types of structures, including port facilities under seismic loading. For the case of pile-supported wharves, the level of performance is generally estimated using the displacement capacity of the structure. Therefore, understanding soil-pile interaction is one of the most...

Predicting Aerodynamic Loads on Highly Flexible Membrane Wings

Creator:: Carpenter, Trenton James
Abstract:: Through passive adaptation to incidental flow, flexible aerodynamic surfaces exploit effects of increased lift, delayed stall and disturbance rejection. Wings of birds, bats, and insects exhibit these passive effects, and at the same time through the use of structural state feedback sensed from the loads on the wing, active control...

Pedestrian distraction : pedestrian behaviors at midblock crossings considering geometric and environmental conditions

Creator:: Kautz, Julia Anne
Abstract:: Pedestrian distraction at roadway crossings has been correlated with a higher risk of pedestrian-vehicle collisions due to the pedestrian's cognitive, visual, and motor attention being drawn to a wide variety of secondary tasks. This study is different from previous field studies of pedestrian midblock crossings in that the geometric layout...

Bayesian optimization with empirical constraints

Creator:: Azimi, Javad
Abstract:: Bayesian Optimization (BO) methods are often used to optimize an unknown function f(•) that is costly to evaluate. They typically work in an iterative manner. In each iteration, given a set of observation points, BO algorithms select k ≥ 1 points to be evaluated. The results of those points are...

Stake-Free Evaluations of Black-Box Optimization and Spatio-Temporal Graph Network Algorithms

Creator:: Merrill, Erich, III
Abstract:: Papers proposing novel machine learning algorithms tend to present the algorithm or technique in question in the best possible light. The standard practice is generally for authors to emphasize their proposed algorithms' performance in the precise setting where it is maximally impressive, often by only fully evaluating their best known...
