(2010-10-12)Genetic algorithm is often used to find the global optimum in a multi-dimensional search problem. Inspired by the natural evolution process, this algorithm employs three reproduction strategies -- cloning, crossover and ...
-
(2011-02-22)In power system reliability analysis, state space pruning has been investigated to improve the efficiency of the conventional Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). New algorithms have been proposed to prune the state space so as ...
-
(2013-07-26)Unconventional reservoirs are typically characterized by very low permeabilities, and thus, the pressure depletion from a producing well may not propagate far from the well during the life of a development. Currently, two ...

(2014-04-04)Construction project scheduling is one of the most important tools for project managers in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The Construction schedules allow project managers to track and ...
-
(2010-01-16)The objective of this study is to reduce the interstory drifts, floor accelerations, and shear forces experienced by masonry houses subject to seismic excitation. Ambient vibration testing was performed on a case study ...
-
(2013-08-06)The purpose of this work is to optimize the chemical composition as well as the heat treatment for improving the mechanical performance of the TRIP steel by employing the theoretical models. TRIP steel consists of the ...
-
(2022-07-06)A relief cutting or kerfing is a practical method to create flexible freeform surfaces from relatively stiff materials and thick panels, such as woods and metals. Kerf panels are constructed by an arrangement of kerf unit ...
-
(2021-03-11)Today, hardware accelerators are widely accepted as a cost-effective solution for emerging applications in computing platforms from servers to mobile devices. Servers often leverage manycore accelerators such as Graphics ...
