Product performance assessment
… methodology for defining and assessing product performance and its implementation in a prototype computer system. The methodology is based on abstract descriptions of the operations that are conducted within the design process. It is, consequently, extremely generic and creates a bridge between …

Performance assessment of multivariate control systems
… time is spent finding the root cause of poor performance, meanwhile many underperforming loops are left alone for sake of insufficient knowledge and resources. The field of control loop performance assessment and diagnosis provides tools for control and plant engineers to identify poorly …

Seismic performance assessment for structural optimization
… of earthquakes has spurred the implementation of performance-based design to mitigate damage in addition to protecting human lives. A developing trend is to consider damage directly as a measure of seismic performance. In spite of the ability to estimate the cost of future earthquakes, adjusting …

Performance assessment of road barriers in Indiana
… this study is to evaluate the in-service safety performance of three types of road barriers (concrete barriers, W-beam guardrails, and high-tension cable barriers) in Indiana using cross-sectional statistical analysis. The evaluation was comprised of three components: 1) the effect on the crash …

Performance assessment of stabilised/solidified waste-forms
… small scale trials of the technology. The field performance of S/S soils is largely unknown. The aim of this research was to improve the understanding of the long-term performance of S/S soils, by examining samples retrieved from eight full-scale remedial operations. The sites were selected to …

Performance Assessment of Seismic Resistant Steel Structures
… stems from two different studies related to this performance assessment of seismic resistant systems. The first study compares the performance of newly developed and traditional seismic resisting systems, and the second study investigates many of the assumptions made within provisions for …
-
The power balance method For aerodynamic performance assessment
… the use of the power balance method for performance estimation of aircraft configurations. In this method, mechanical power production and mechanical power consumption of the aircraft are balanced, rather than forces as in the conventional thrust and drag approach to aircraft performance …

Hybrid wing-body aircraft noise and performance assessment
… generation and boundary layer ingestion (BLI) performance trends with increased fan face Mach number inlet designs are investigated. The presented topics are in support of the NASA subsonic fixed wing project, which seeks to lower noise and increase performance by improving prediction methods …

Performance Assessment of Alternative Composite Earth Wall Panels
… a viable option for curtain wall systems but its performance is highly dependent on the composition of the panels. The results of the tests are summarized.

Performance Assessment of Shear-critical Reinforced Concrete Plane Frames
Current analysis procedures for new reinforced concrete structures are typically based on linear-elastic principles. However, under certain conditions, it may be necessary to analyze a structure to more accurately predict its structural behaviour. Such an analysis can be performed using nonlinear …

Vibration based performance assessment of concrete-concrete composite bridges
Concrete composites consisting of precast pre-stressed standardized beams and a cast in-situ deck slab have been used for the construction of short to medium span bridges for the past four decades in South Africa and worldwide. The pre-cast beams and cast in-situ slab are commonly connected using …

Thermo-mechamical modelling of arch dams for performance assessment
… and procedures for undertaking a successful performance analysis of concrete arch dams. Arch dams experience high temperature variations, which are generally assessed using finite element models. Deterioration of arch dams is caused principally by thermal effects, with 19% cases attributed to …

Performance Assessment Methodology: Task Dependent Evaluation of Display Systems
… of this research, a new methodology -- human Performance Assessment Methodology (PAM), is introduced. PAM provides a quantitative basis for evaluating display image quality based on the visual events that occur in a task. The PAM approach identifies the visual events, decisions, and actions …

Seismic Performance Assessment of Wood-Frame Shear Wall Structures
… of this dissertation is to evaluate the seismic performance of a wide range of wood-frame shear wall building designs under the influence of modeling and analysis parameter variations. The first step towards the broad objective of seismic performance evaluation is to identify the different …
