Investigation of multi-scale behaviour of air quality data in an urban environment
(University of Notre Dame, IN, USA, 2018)
Structural modification based analysis and design of tuned mass dampers
(2018)
This article discusses the design of tuned vibration absorber for structures. A central notion in the identification of the parameters of a tuned mass damper (TMD) absorber for MDOF systems is that of modal mass of the ...
Machine learning algorithms for photovoltaic system power output prediction
(2018)
Accurate photovoltaic (PV) production forecasting is necessary for the optimal integration of this technology into existing power systems and is important for both grid and plant operators. The purpose of this work is to ...
Linking local-climate-zones mapping to multi-resolution-analysis to deduce associative relations at intra-urban scales through an example of Metropolitan London
(2019)
In this paper, we propose a systematic approach that translates geographically-based information data, into complete versatile gridded numerical information for use in comparative data analyses and atmospheric or other ...
Linking the urban-scale building energy demands with city breathability and urban form characteristics
(2019)
In this paper we examine the energy demands required for building heating and cooling over a real urban area and how these relate to urban microclimatic parameters
Vibration Measurement of Occupational Exposed Workers, Experimental Quantification of the Individual Response Parameters for the Estimation of Uncertainty in the Vertical Direction
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)
The exposure of seated people to whole body vibration has been extensively researched and modelled during the past two decades. The trend is to use the average biodynamic responses. This paper investigates the relation of ...
Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(2001)
A widely used model in the field of hysteretic or memory-dependent vibrations is that of Bouc and Wen. Different parameter values extend its use to various areas of mechanical vibrations. As a consequence an identification ...
Differential evolution based identification of automotive hydraulic engine mount model parameters
(2000)
Hydraulic engine mounts are commonly used in an automotive applications, and numerical models exist for performing full-vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) studies by means of multibody simulation. The parameters ...
Stochastic control for nanoparticle manipulation using electric fields
(2018)
A simplified model is used to study the dynamics of a nanoparticle suspended in a fluid under Dielectrophoretic (DEP) force. The model considers the DEP force (considering only dipoles formed and not higher order polarisation) ...
