Design of a building structural skin using multi-objective optimization techniques
… System Design Optimization was used to design the geometry and to select the materials for the structural facade of a building. A multi-objective optimization model was developed, capable of optimizing the design of the facade on the basis of a lighting analysis of the interior, of a thermal …

Horizontal Stiffness of Wood Diaphragms
… investigation was conducted to study the stiffness of wood diaphragms. Currently there is no method to calculate wood diaphragm stiffness that can reliably account for all of the various framing configurations. Diaphragm stiffness is important in the design of wood framed structures to …

Experimental and theoretical study of horizontal-axis wind turbines
An experimental and theoretical study of horizontal-axis wind turbines is undertaken. The theoretical analyses cover the four major areas of aerodynamics, turbulence. aeroelasticity and blade optimisation. EXisting aerodynamic theories based on blade-element theory for predicting the loads on a …

Active vibration isolation with a distributed parameter isolator
… isolators are usually assumed to be massless for the purpose of modelling. This simplification tends to overestimate the isolator performance because of neglecting the internal resonances (IRs) due to the distributed mass effects in the isolator, which is especially important for lightly damped …

Anointing as the Iconic Interruption of the Loving God
The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick has traditionally been conceived within pre-modern conceptual categories and the supporting structure or worldview of Aristotelian metaphysics. Postmodern sacramental theology suggests a reflexive reformulation, one that no longer sees the world as the …

Longitudinal forces in continuously welded rails due to nonlinear track-bridge interaction for loading sequences
The use of continuously welded rails (CWR) governs the longitudinal stress caused by seasonal temperature changes, bending of supporting structure and braking/accelerating due to passing trains. Those three loads have been regulated in Eurocode1 and accomplished by the national codes like DIN …

Optimally stiffened thin shell structures in 3D printing.
Thin shell structures have been widely applied in crafts, art, industry, architecture, aerospace, etc. The dilemma in printing thin shell structures is the balance between material efficiency and structural soundness. The use of more material will produce a more solid and sound structure but it …

Impact sound insulation of flooring systems with polyurethane foam on concrete floors
The problem of unwanted noise in buildings has grown continuously over the last twenty years and impact noise through separating floors has been identified as a particularly important problem. One accepted method for improving impact sound insulation is to use floating floors in which the walking …
