On higher-order mixed-interpolated general shell finite elements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
On long nonlinear internal waves over bottom topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1985) -
On projects, transportation projects and the Mendoza (Argentina)--Los Andes (Chile) transportation corridor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997) -
On rainfall-induced landslides : a deterministic approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000) -
On slowly varying Stokes waves.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970) -
On the design of a kinetic adaptive structural surface with reference to nature, form and simplicity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The central thrust of this thesis is that there is much to learn from Nature. What surrounds us, and has been with us from the beginning of time, still has many insights to offer, if we are only willing to look. In Nature, ... -
On the determination of stochastic reservoir operating strategies incorporating short and long term information in real time.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
On the nature of color in water
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1917) -
On traffic disruptions : event detection from visual data and Bayesian congestion games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Road traffic is often subject to random disturbances due to weather, incidents, or special events. Effectively detecting and disseminating information about disturbances is a key goal of modern, "smart" infrastructure. ... -
On triangular finite elements for general shell structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In general, triangular elements are most efficient to discretize arbitrary shell geometries. However, in shell finite element analysis, usually quadrilateral elements are used due to their better performance. Indeed, there ... -
On wave-wave interactions on the ocean surface
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
On-line calibration for dynamic traffic assignment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) application, the EKF has more desirable properties than the UKF. Furthermore, the Limiting EKF provides accuracy comparable to that of the best algorithm (EKF), but with computational complexity which is order(s) ... -
On-site construction versus prefabrication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The question this thesis tries to answer is "How does one decide whether or not to use prefabrication in a project?" Since this is a broad question, we focus on a more specific topic: "How does one decide whether or not ... -
One-dimensional model of fecal coliform in Nahr Ibrahim River (Lebanon)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001) -
Online calibration for simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment : towards large-scale and real-time performance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The severity of traffic congestion is increasing each year in the US, resulting in higher travel times, and increased energy consumption and emissions. They have led to an increasing emphasis on the development of tools ... -
Online learning algorithm for structural control using magnetorheological actuators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Magnetorheological actuators are promising devices for mitigating vibrations because they only require a fraction of energy for a similar performance to active control. Conversely, these semi-active devices have limited ... -
Open-ended pile penetration in saturated clays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986) -
OpenLS for indoor positioning : strategies for standardizing location based services for indoor use
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The combination of location positioning technologies such as GPS and initiatives like the US Federal Communications Commission's E911 telecommunication initiatives has generated a lot of interest in applications and services ... -
The operation and performance of a taxi fleet.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1972) -
Operational, aesthetic, and construction process performance for innovative passive and active solar building components for residential buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)A system-based framework creates the ability to integrate operational, aesthetic, and construction process performance. The framework can be used to evaluate innovations within residential construction. By reducing the ...
