parametric design optimization of an automotive body crashworthiness improvement is presented. the thicknesses of parts are employed as design variables for optimization whose objective is to increase the maximum deceleration value of the vehicle center of gravity during an impact. using the taguchi method, this study analyzes the optimum conditions for design objectives and the impact factors ...

Abstract The estimation of wall thermal properties through an inverse problem procedure enables to increase the reliability model predictions for building energy efficiency. Nevertheless, it requires define experimental campaign obtain on-site observations existing buildings. design experiments search optimal measurement plan that ensure highest precision parameter estimation. For in buildings,...

Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common neurological disorders diagnosed in young adults. there are no current cures for the disease or its underlying causes, some drugs have been developed that can decrease or delay disease progression. Fingolimod is an immunomodulating drug, mostly used for treating multiple sclerosis (MS). It approximately halves the rate of relapse ...
