As urbanization increases around the world, high-rise buildings will continue to become a more prevailing typology, nonetheless, due in part to cumbersome computational simulations, rarely do designers have enough information during the early stages of design, which is the time when...
Architectural design greatly influences building energy performance (BEP), andenergy-efficient design is therefore often studied. Architectural space layout also can affect BEP. However, only a few of the numerous studies on energy-efficient design considered the effect of space layout...
In typical model-based design of structures, parametric design and finite element analysis are common tools for simulating structural behavior of systems under static and quasi-static loading. While these tools provide significant benefits over physical experimentation, cumbersome to...
This paper describes the design of a propeller-based electric-propulsion system for hover condition. The design procedure harnesses modeFRONTIER optimization framework with various single- and multi-objective hybrid optimization schemes. Several analyses were integrated to the design...
Mobile robots do not display the level of physical performance one would expect, given the specifications of their hardware. This research is based on the idea that their poor performance is at least partly due to their design, and proposes an optimisation approach for the design of...
This research considers technical, environmental, and economic aspects of the implementation of alternative power system configurations in the Croatian coastal shipping sector with respect to short- and long-term emission reduction targets, where existing diesel engine-powered Ro-Ro...
Squeak & Rattle are two types of undesired noise that occur in cars when components come in contact with each other, either impacting or sliding. It reduces the sense of quality and comfort for users, which are important aspects for premium cars. Two of the major contributors for...
A representative multibody model of the pure vertical crash landing scenario has been developed, validated, and utilized, employing Kelvin restraints to model the structural systems and an FAA Hybrid III ATD model in MADYMO to capture the occupant level of injury. Two case studies are...
This research is aiming to extend the period in which the passive systems are used within the building management system in order to minimize the energy consumption while improving the comfort conditions. a Grasshopper model is made with Ladybug, Honeybee and Ironbug plugins to use...
