In most engineering design processes, there are three major phases of design: functional, conceptual, and detailed design (Gui94). However, most current
Coordinate measuring systems (CMSs) determine dimensional (length) characteristics of mechanical parts by analyzing 3-dimensional point data acquired on part
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of sprinkler activation models to predict activation time. Large scale compartment fire tests were used
The Real-time Control System (RCS) architecture developed at NIST and elsewhere over the past two decades [1] defines a canonical form for a nested intelligent
