Value engineering and its application to the construction industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Study of coagulation and settling processes for implementation in Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Effects of dynamic vegetation and topography on hydrological processes in semi-arid areas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Ecosystems of dry climates represent a particularly interesting object for ecohydrological studies, as water is generally considered to be the key limiting resource. This work focuses on vegetation-water-energy dynamics ...
Resolution of grain scale interactions using the Discrete Element Method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Granular materials are an integral part of many engineering systems. Currently, a popular tool for numerically investigating granular systems is the Discrete Element Method (DEM). Nearly all implementations of the DEM, ...
Off-line calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Advances in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have resulted in the deployment of surveillance systems that automatically collect and store extensive network-wide traffic data. Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models ...
Setup in the surfzone
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Surfzone wave height transformation and wave-breaking-driven increases in the mean sea level (setup) are examined on alongshore-uniform beaches with alongshore homogeneous and inhomogeneous wave forcing. While previously ...
Routing in heterogeneous wireless ad hoc networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Wireless ad hoc networks are used in several applications ranging from infrastructure monitoring to providing Internet connectivity to remote locations. A common assumption about these networks is that the devices that ...
An approach for structural maintenance scheduling using time variant reliability analysis of serviceability and ultimate strength models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Geomorphology and ecohydrology of water-limited ecosystems : a modeling approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The role of vegetation in shaping landforms and how these landforms respond to disturbances are the subjects of this work. A numerical model is developed to help develop a mechanistic understanding of the hydrological, ...
Sliding contact at plastically graded surfaces and applications to surface design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Tailored gradation in elastic-plastic properties is known to offer avenues for suppressing surface damage during normal indentation and sliding contact. These graded materials have potential applications in diverse areas ...
