Innovative Design Method of Jet Grouting Systems for Sustainable Ground Improvements

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Eco-innovative design method for process engineering

Method for Evaluating Innovative Mine Detection Systems

Researchers in physical, chemical, and biological sciences are studying and developing methods that could reduce the false alarm rate and maintain or increase the probability of detection for mine clearance. New detection concepts involve searching for characteristics other than mine metal content. A variety of techniques that exploit properties of the electromagnetic spectrum are being explore...

Sustainable Design for Pervasive Computing Systems

Bio: Ravi Jain received the Ph. D in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1992. Prior to that he worked at Syntrex Inc., SES Inc. and the Schlumberger Laboratory for Computer Science on developing communications and systems software, performance modeling, and parallel programming. Since 1992 he has been a Research Scientist and then a Senior Scientist in Applied Research, ...

Systems modelling for sustainable building design

To support performance-oriented modelling for sustainable building design, one must both model geometric interdependencies in a parametric way and include non-geometric physical, environmental, and economic design reasoning. For this purpose, this paper examines the use of Systems Modelling Language (SysML) to model systems for sustainable building design and develops a method called Parametric...
