Benanzer, Todd W. Ph.D. College of Engineering and Computer Science, Wright State University, 2008. System Design of Undersea Vehicles with Multiple Sources of Uncertainty. The work performed investigates the system design and optimization of an undersea vehicle. The system design is driven by the available components, the missions the vehicle is required to perform, and the performance the sys...

Effective and detailed planning of large-scale, complex construction projects is of great importance to fulfilling project cost and time objectives. At Tsinghua University of China and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the four dimensional-computer aided design (4D construction operations simulation methodology have been researched for years respectively, resulting in innovative, in constru...

The problem of optimal feed-rate planning along a curved tool path for 3-axis CNC machines with a jerk limit for each axis is addressed. We prove that the optimal feed-rate planning must use “Bang-Bang” control, that is, at least one of the axes reaches its jerk bound throughout the motion. As a consequence, the optimal parametric velocity can be expressed as a piecewise analytic function of th...

Multi-agent path planning (MAPP) is the problem of collision-free trajectories from start to goal locations for a team agents. This work explores relatively unexplored setting MAPP where streams agents have go through starts and goals with high throughput. We tackle this by formulating new variant called periodic in which timing agent appearances periodic. The objective find plan, set that can ...
