Experimental investigation on the effect of masked multiple passes abrasive waterjet machining surface texturing on coefficient of friction by Hafiz, Husin, Mohd Nazir, Mat Nawi, Asmelash, Mebrahitom Asmelash, Kushendarsyah, Saptaji, Azmir, Azhari

“…The texture was applied on the surface of stainless steel by masked multi-passes AWJM technique. According to the findings, there is less friction in craters with greater densities because there are more craters in the contact zone, which improves the trapping of debris particles and reduces friction, when the crater density rises from 4% to 18%, there is a greater chance of worn debris becoming trapped, which reduces friction. …”

Pareto Adaptive Robust Optimality via a Fourier–Motzkin Elimination lens by Bertsimas, Dimitris, ten Eikelder, Stefan C. M., den Hertog, Dick, Trichakis, Nikolaos

“…We prove the existence of PARO solutions, and present approaches for finding and approximating such solutions. Amongst others, we present a constraint & column generation method that produces a PARO solution for the considered two-stage ARO problems by iteratively improving upon a worst-case optimal solution. …”

User satisfaction and service quality improvement priority of bus rapid transit in Belo Horizonte, Brazil by Zheng, Yunhan, Kong, Hui, Petzhold, Guillermo, Barcelos, Mariana M, Zegras, Christopher P, Zhao, Jinhua

“…Our results show that “expenses with public transport” (i.e. fares) should be addressed first among all the attributes, and the improvement priorities of “speed”, “reliability” and “customer service” increased after the BRT opening. These findings can help policymakers fine-tune improvement strategies targeted at different types of services.…”

Evaluation of Deep Learning Algorithms in Predicting Seismic Response of a Reinforced Concrete Structure by Morgan, Jacob A.

“…By employing a variety of results metrics previously used in the literature, including correlation coefficients, normalized error distributions, and peak errors, this thesis examines different components of the models’ capabilities to learn more about patterns in the data learned by the computational mechanisms of each architecture, and exploring the feasibility of a generalized approach for further application in structural response prediction. Findings from the work show the data-driven Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network performing the most accurately, but not consistently outperforming the other algorithms. …”
