Automatic Design Mechanism for Resource Distribution for Construction Operations Simulation

چکیده
A planner may use simulation for in the analysis and design of construction operation processes to optimize overall performance of a construction system. Normally, the basic elements used in construction operation process simulation system such as CYCLONE (CYCLic Operation NEtworks) are activities and queues. Activity is used to model the execution of the task work which consumes resources and time to perform. Queue acts as a storage location for resources entering an idle state. In the simulation system, queues have to be created according to the ways of assigning resources to activities. Conventionally, planner creates queue at his/her judgment distinguishing what resources and how many should be allocated to which activity. This paper introduces a Genetic Algorithms (GA) based modeling mechanism for facilitating the automation of modeling resource distribution scenarios.

This paper presents the design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the deflection of the membrane with measuring the strain in the membrane with emb...
متن کاملDESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A RACING GO-KART: THE BRAKING SYSTEM
Go-karts are popular sport mini-car in western countries, and there are gaining prominence in developing countries such as Nigeria. Its performance is determined by the chassis design and the braking system is its lifeline. Because of the lack of a suspension system and differentials, a good chassis must be able to bend and twist. This Go-kart is powered by a Yamaha Vino Automatic Petrol 2-str...
