Finite element formulation of variable thickness plates
(2019-08-11)The intense competition between companies especially in automotive industries, pushes the engineers and designers to safer and cheaper products every day. Multi-variable and multi-strength blanks known as Tailor Welded ... -
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 ... -
On the Static Load Performance of a Large Size, Heavily Loaded Spring Supported Thrust Bearing
(Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers, 2019-02-18)This abstract describes a thermo-elasto-hydrodynamic (TEHD) analysis for prediction of the static load performance of a large size spring-supported thrust bearing (SSTB) operating at a mean surface speed of 20 m/s and 4 ... -

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 ... -
Single-Phase PQ Inverter Model and Application to Unbalance Compensation in Islanded Microgrids (PSCAD Simulation)
(2019-01-21)This is a simulation study of islanded microgrids for black start purpose. The study focuses on the voltage unbalance that results from serving unbalanced loads in the distribution system and how this could be mitigated ... -
Smart Soft Actuation System
(Austin Publishing Group, 2015-06-06)We have demonstrated the fabrication of cantilever shaped soft material actuator, by integrating soft silicon material with Ti-Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) wires with the diameter of 250 micrometer. A 3D stereo-lithographic ... -
Thermo Hydrodynamic (THD) Computational Analysis For Tilting Pad Thrust Bearings (TPTBs)
(2019-03-27)The report details a thermo-hydrodynamic (THD) analysis for the static and dynamic force performance of TPTBs. The goal is to deliver a modern predictive tool for TPTBs to be further integrated into the XLTRC2 software ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
