Damage detection via structural model updating using frequency response functions and genetic algorithms

Elsaid, Bassam (2013-03-10)

This thesis covers the development of a model updating technique which relies on the introduction of correction factors to the elemental stiffness matrix of a beam Finite Element Model (FEM). A Genetic Algorithm selects ...
Emergency department design evaluation and optimization using discrete event simulation

Rofaeel, Irinie Wanis Tadros (2012-02-02)

The proposed research would help any architect/owner decide the number of rooms/ cubicles for each sub-department of the ED, as well as have an estimated price for the ED, in order to optimally serve patients entering the ...
Energy efficient configuration or perforated solar screens for residential desert buildings

Arafa, Rasha (2012-11-06)

In hot arid desert environments, the solar radiation passing through windows increases the cooling loads and energy consumption of buildings. Shading of windows can reduce these loads. External perforated wooden solar ...
Macro-model of through silicon vias (tsvs) arrays

Ahmed, Karim (2013-01-31)

As continued scaling down of transistors becomes increasingly difficult due to physical and technical issues like the increase of leakage power and total power consumption, overall, 3D integration is now considered a viable ...
