A Thermo-Elasto-Hydrodynamic (TEHD) Computational Analysis of Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings: Analytical and FE Pad Structure Models
(2019-05-08)
Work in 2018 extends an earlier (2017) single-pad, laminar flow thermohydrodynamic (THD) model, into a multiple-pad, turbulent flow thermoelastohydrodynamic (TEHD) model for the prediction of the static and dynamic force ...
Towards the Application of Uncertainty Analysis in Architectural Design Decision-Making
(CuminCAD, 2018-09)
To this day, proper handling of uncertainties -including unknown variables in
primary stages of a design, an actual climate data, occupants` behavior, and
degradation of material properties over the time- remains as a ...
Development of a Risk Based Inherent Safety Index Using an Integrated Approach
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2018-04-25)
The growing demand for petrochemical products and the implementation of new process
technologies have made the petrochemical plants more complex; therefore, it becomes more challenging to manage the risk. Traditionally, ...
UNCERTAINTY AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS USING BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (An Energy Analysis Test Case)
(the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia (CAADRIA), Hong Kong, 2019-04-15)
Building design decision-making is associated with
uncertainties due to variations over time and unpredictable parameters.
There is a growing demand for probabilistic methods, i.e., uncertainty
and sensitivity analyses ...
A case study for sensitivity-based building energy optimization
(ARCC Conference Repository, 2019-05-26)
Building design optimization process is associated with uncertainties due to
climate change, unpredictable occupant behavior, and physical degradation of building
material over time. The inherent uncertainties in the ...
The Negative Impact of Solar Reflections Caused by Reflective Buildings’ Facades: Case Study of the Nasher Museum in Texas
(The 2019 Sustainable Built Environment Conference Proceedings, 2019-05-22)
Large reflective facades in buildings can cause severe visual discomfort due to the reflection of sunlight falling on buildings' surfaces. These intense reflections can cause a intolerable glare and contribute to overheating ...
PSCAD Implementation of IEEE 123 Node Test Feeder
(2019-05-22)
The accompanying file is a PSCAD setup of the IEEE 123 node test feeder. In the PSCAD model, the substation transformer has been omitted. The switches default states have been set according to their default setting in the ...
