Dynamic Control of Serial-batch Processing Systems
(2010-01-14)
This research explores how near-future information can be used to strategically control a batch processor in a serial-batch processor system setting. Specifically, improved control is attempted by using the upstream serial ...
Studies on Hazard Characterization for Performance-based Structural Design
(2010-07-14)
Performance-based engineering (PBE) requires advances in hazard
characterization, structural modeling, and nonlinear analysis techniques to fully and
efficiently develop the fragility expressions and other tools forming ...
Visualization of Ant Pheromone Based Path Following
(2010-07-14)
This thesis develops a simulation and visualization of a path finding algorithm based on
ant pheromone paths created in 3D space. The simulation is useful as a demonstration of
a heuristic approach to NP-complete problems ...
Tearable Cloth
(2010-01-16)
This document proposes modifications to an established cloth simulation algorithm to
allow for stretch deformation and tearing of simulated cloth in computer-generated
imagery. Previous research is presented, followed by ...
