Calibration of Dynamic Pressure in a Tubing System and Optimized Design of Tube Configuration: A Numerical and Experimental Study

June 12, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew Kovaerk, Luke Amatucci, Keith A. Gillis, Florian Potra, James Ratino, Marc L. Levitan, DongHun Yeo
Accurate prediction of aerodynamic pressures on a building is a key factor in the estimation of wind loads on the building. Since the analytical approach has limited capacity in providing pressure estimates, wind tunnel testing is widely used. The

NIST ADVANCES IN COMPUTER-AIDED AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN WIND ENGINEERING

October 19, 2012

Dong Hun Yeo, Franklin T. Lombardo, Dilip K. Banerjee, Eric J. Letvin, Emil Simiu, Marc L. Levitan, Florian A. Potra
The paper summarizes recent research and development of computer-aided and computational methods in wind engineering at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Specific topics to be covered include: 1. Time-domain database-assisted

Optimization and Multi-Hazard Design

Emil Simiu, Florian A. Potra
There is a growing interest in the development of procedures for the design of structures exposed to multiple hazards. The goal is to achieve safer and/or more economical designs than would be the case if the structures were analyzed independently for each

Integral Operators and Delay Differential Equations

David E. Gilsinn, Florian A. Potra
We begin this expository essay by reviewing with examples what a typical engineer already knows about statistics. We then consider a central question in engineering decision making, i.e., given a computer simulation of high-consequence systems, how do we

Smart Machining Systems: Issues and Research Trends

November 1, 2005
