Process Modeling System For Press Cure, Closed-cavity Tooled Thick Composites
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Thick structural composite parts often use press curing with closed-cavity tooling for achieving dimensional tolerances. A commonly encountered defect for these parts is fiber waviness, whick limits its structural strength. ...
Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline Based Framework For Statistically Parsimonious Adaptive Dynamic Programming
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Central to Dynamic Programming (DP) is the `cost-to-go' or `future value' function, which is obtained via actually solving the Bellman's equation and central to Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) is the use of an ...
The Equivalence And Generalization Of Optimization Criteria
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
In this dissertation we first show that existing optimization criteria are equivalent to the maximization of a real-valued function in a one-dimensional Euclidean space. The criteria are said to be scalar equivalent. All ...
Mixed Integer Programming Models For Selecting Ground-level Ozone Control Strategies
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA) in 1990, the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was required to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six common air pollutants that are considered harmful to public ...
Mathematical Optimization Techniques For Managing Selective Catalytic Reduction For Coal-fired Power Plants
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Coal is one of the most important energy sources in the U.S. However, it is also one of the biggest air polluters where the major emissions generated from coal combustion are oxides of nitrogen (NOx). NOx leads to ozone ...
Time Depedent Queuing Models Of The National Airspace
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Air transportation in the US system has dramatically changed in the past few decades. The National Airspace System (NAS) has increasingly become congested. A high volume of air traffic demand is one of the major challenges ...
Adaptive Pain Management Decision Support System
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Pain management is an international health issue. The Eugene McDermott Center for Pain Management at the University of Texas Southwestern MedicalCenter at Dallas conducts a two-stage interdisciplinary pain management program ...
