Review of the main factors controlling the fracture toughness and impact strength properties of natural composites
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02)The main critical factors, which have direct influence on the fracture toughness and imapct strength properties of natural fibers composites, are reviewed in details in this paper. Considering the vast body of literature ... -
Review of uncertainties in building characterization for urban-scale energy modeling
(Springer, 2022)Bottom-up modeling appears to be a suitable approach for the urban-scale building energy performance assessment with providing valuable inferences on the complicated building energy patterns and helping authorities ... -
Revisiting network reconfiguration in the era of unpredictable ev charger integration
(IEEE, 2023)An expanded network of electric vehicle (EV) chargers is required due to the rapid uptake of EVs. The voltage profile may be disturbed by the unanticipated integration of these chargers into distribution networks, potentially ... -
Rf energy harvesting and transfer for spectrum sharing cellular iot communications in 5g systems
(IEEE, 2018-07-01)This paper proposes an energy and spectrum efficient IoT network for 5G systems where spectrum is shared with the cellular system for spectrum efficiency and energy harvesting and energy transfer are utilized for energy ... -
RImCom: raster-order image compressor for embedded video applications
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)This paper presents a real-time, rate controlled, end-to-end (encoder and decoder) hardware solution for memory compression of raster-order video streams—named RImCom (short for Raster-order Image Compression). RImCom ... -
Risk-driven model-based testing of washing machine software: an industrial case study
(IEEE, 2018-07-16)We previously introduced an approach for risk-driven model-based testing. In that approach, test models are represented in the form of Markov chains and test case generation is steered by state transition probabilities. ... -
Risky maritime encounter patterns via clustering
(MDPI, 2023-04-28)The volume of maritime traffic is increasing with the growing global trade demand. The effect of volume growth is especially observed in narrow and congested waterways as an increase in the ship-ship encounters, which can ... -
Road to salvation: Streaming clients and content delivery networks working together
(IEEE, 2021-11-01)Streaming media has truly become one of the most popular applications on the Internet. Viewers are spoiled for choice, and content providers compete to provide the best viewer experience. Traditionally, it has been challenging ... -
Robotic grasping and manipulation through human visuomotor learning
(Elsevier, 2012-03)A major goal of robotics research is to develop techniques that allow non-experts to teach robots dexterous skills. In this paper, we report our progress on the development of a framework which exploits human sensorimotor ... -
A robotics summer camp for high school students: pipelines activities promoting careers in engineering fields
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2013-06)In this paper we discuss the lived-experiences and the career interests of 27 high school students who participated in a two-week Robotics summer camp in 2012. The summer camp was designed by a team of engineering faculty, ... -
Robust aircraft routing and flight retiming
(Elsevier, 2010-08-01)In this paper, we propose an integrated model for the robust aircraft routing and flight retiming problem. The model optimizes a slack-based robustness measure that explicitly takes heed of passengers in connection and ... -
Robust dual response optimization
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)This article presents a robust optimization reformulation of the dual response problem developed in response surface methodology. The dual response approach fits separate models for the mean and the variance, and analyzes ... -
A robust estimation model for surgery durations with temporal, operational, and surgery team effects
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015-09)For effective operating room (OR) planning, surgery duration estimation is critical. Overestimation leads to underutilization of expensive hospital resources (e.g., OR time) whereas underestimation leads to overtime and ... -
Robust locomotion control of a self-balancing and underactuated bipedal exoskeleton: Task prioritization and feedback control
(IEEE, 2021-07)This letter presents a study to understand how an underactuated bipedal exoskeleton with an arbitrary human user can exhibit robust dynamic walking behavior despite severe parameter uncertainty and external disturbances. ... -
A robust optimization approach for humanitarian needs assessment planning under travel time uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)We focus on rapid needs assessment operations conducted immediately after a disaster to identify the urgent needs of the affected community groups, and address the problem of selecting the sites to be visited by the ... -
A robust optimization approach for production planning under exogenous planned lead times
(IEEE, 2019)Many production planning models applied in semiconductor manufacturing represent lead times as fixed exogenous parameters. However, in reality, lead times must be treated as realizations of released lots' cycle times, which ... -
Robust parameter design and optimization for quality engineering
(Springer, 2022-03)This paper proposes a methodology to determine the optimal settings of key decision variables that affect the resilience of an engineering design against uncertainty. Uncertainty in quality engineering is often caused by ... -
Robust reformulations of ambiguous chance constraints with discrete probability distributions
(Balikesir University, 2019)This paper proposes robust reformulations of ambiguous chance constraints when the underlying family of distributions is discrete and supported in a so-called ``p-box'' or ``p-ellipsoidal'' uncertainty set. Using the robust ... -
Robust scheduling and robustness measures for the discrete time/cost trade-off problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12-01)Projects are often subject to various sources of uncertainties that have a negative impact on activity durations and costs. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective approaches to generate robust project schedules that ... -
Robust strategic planning of dynamic wireless charging infrastructure for electric buses
(Elsevier, 2022-02-01)Electromobility in public bus systems is growing rapidly and experiencing a fundamental transformation in their infrastructure and operations. The dilemma of limited driving range and charging time of battery electric buses ...
