A New Approach to Form Error Determination in Sculptured Surface Metrology
(2018-08-02)
This thesis presents a new approach to the determination of sampling points for CMM inspection of sculptured surfaces, for when the surface equations are not available. It is an implementation-based methodology that relies ...
Benchmarking of Academic Departments using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
(2019-08-01)
Departmental rankings are a primary factor in assessing the organizational performance and quality. Peer Assessment Scores are one of few metrics by which academic departmental performances are quantified. There are different ...
Robust Resource Allocation to Interdependent Networks under Multiple Disruption Scenarios
(2017-12)
In recent years, the threat of international attacks on critical infrastructure networks has grown; as defined by a 1998 Presidential Decision Directive, these are networks necessary to society’s functionality and include ...
A validation of visual impending collision warnings for drivers heading straight through a signalized intersection
(2013)
Approximately 4% of all fatal crashes in the United States (1,092) occurred in cross path collisions at signalized intersections (NHTSA, 2011). This type of crash is especially dangerous as the victim driver is often ...
Comparison of Interval Valued Pareto-Optimal Alternatives
(2016)
Everyday tradeoff decisions are made where criteria must be compared,
evaluated, and decided upon. In real world applications, variables have an inherent
amount of uncertainty that must be regarded when making a ...
IMPROVING PRODUCT DESIGN TOLERANCES USING METR-ONTOLOGY
(2018-05)
It is important to know the dimensions, material composition, manufacturing processes, product performance history, and inspection methodology while designing products and selecting manufacturing processes. This information ...
Community Vulnerability Perspectives on Infrastructure Network Resilience Decision Making
(2019-05-10)
Critical interdependent infrastructure networks such as water distribution, natural gas pipeline, electricity power, communication and transportation systems provide the essential necessities for societies and their ...
Decomposition Algorithm in Fixed Charge Time-Space Network Flow Problems
(2017-12-15)
A wide range of network flow problems primarily used in transportation is categorized as time-space fixed charge network flow (FCNF) problems. In this family of networks, each node is associated with a specific time and ...
Factors Relevant to Parallelism Inspection
(2017-05)
Inspection of parallelism between two surfaces (planes) requires the establishment of a datum feature (surface), and determination of the envelope of points containing the inspected feature parallel to that datum feature. ...
COMPONENT IMPORTANCE OF MULTI-COMMODITY NETWORKS
(2016)
Preparedness planning for critical infrastructure networks requires evaluating the impact to the network when its components are disrupted. We extend the well-studied problem of component importance measures in single-commodity ...
