Vulnerability Assessment of Water Distribution Networks Considering Performance Data
(2015)
A methodology is presented for the reliability assessment of urban water distribution networks (UWDN) on the basis of component analysis, network topology, and-most importantly-survival analysis to include the effects of ...
Dynamic monitoring of taxi demand profiles, utilizing location-specific information in large metropolitan areas
(2016)
Urban mobility, especially in Metropolitan Areas has drawn the attention of scientists for many decades. As increasing volumes of urban data are captured and become available, new opportunities arise for data-driven analysis ...
The Influence of Crack-Face Normal and Shear Stress Loading on Hydraulic Fracture-Tip Singular Plastic Fields
(2018)
We investigated the singular plastic fields at the crack tip of a fracture that is loaded with normal and shear loads due to a viscous flow in a hydraulic fracturing. The level of the expected shear load in comparison with ...
Investigating the seismic response of ancient multi-drum colonnades with two rows of columns using an object-oriented designed software
(2012)
A software application, based on the Discrete Element Method (DEM), has been developed, using a modern object-oriented design and programming approach, in order to enable the effective simulation of multi-drum columns and ...
Entropy-Based Sensor Placement Optimization for Waterloss Detection in Water Distribution Networks
(2013)
The work presented herein addresses the problem of sensor placement optimization in urban water distribution networks by use of an entropy-based approach, for the purpose of efficient and economically viable waterloss ...
