Measurement of three-dimensional vehicular motion to assess the dynamic performance of safety structures
(1992)
Measurements system of three-dimensional motion of an impacting vehicle were studied. Through the review of existing systems, a nine accelerometer array was found to be a both stable and economical system. This system ...
Evaluation and selection of urban transportation planning techniques
(1992)
The ability to analyze travel demand relationships and forecast future travel is necessary to clarify the issues that should be considered by decision makers and to assist them in making transportation service decisions. ...
STIMEX - an expert system approach to well stimulation design
(1992)
Well stimulation plays a major role in enhancing oil and gas flow rate and recovery. Most oil and gas wells drilled and completed will eventually require an acidizing treatment or a fracturing treatment to improve oil and ...
Automation of data input in the A & M watershed model using GIS
(1992)
Integration of hydrologic modeling into a GIS environment can help optimize the use of available digital data while improving the simulation of basin-wide effects of management decisions. This research demonstrates the ...
Process synthesis for the large scale separation of soluble, predominantly non-aggregated proteins from bioreactor broths
(1992)
Process synthesis is the initial stage in process design. There are potentially many different flowsheets that can be created for transforming the raw materials into products. Process synthesis endeavors to find the more ...
Performance modeling of automated manufacturing systems with unreliable machines and random processing times
(1992)
Reliability plays a very important role in the overall performance of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Failure of a single component can easily propagate downtime throughout the entire system, giving rise to inferior ...
An interface model for building energy performance simulation in an integrated computer-aided design environment
(1992)
Computer-aided building design (CABD) has been very diversified since the design process encompasses so many decision making steps by architects. However, the segregated design decision making process frequently prevents ...
The effective use of microcomputers for information management as perceived by school public relations specialists and public school superintendents
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the perceptions of school public relations specialists and selected public school superintendents concerning die effective use of micro-computers for the management of ...
Shape conceptualization in design
(1992)
The intention of this research is to provide a conceptual basis for the design and construction of a geometric modeling system that dovetails with the way designer plan and visualize objects. This dissertation focuses on ...
An intelligent resource allocation system
(1992)
The main objectives of this research are investigating the process planning knowledge of allocating construction resources for earthmoving processes and capturing this knowledge in an Intelligent Resource Allocation System ...
