Unsupervised Data Mining Methods For Functional Data Analysis And Feature Selection
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop new unsupervised data mining methods for functional data analysis and feature selection. Unsupervised learning is a modeling process that facilitates the extraction of ...
Novel Nonparametric Control Charts For Monitoring Multivariate Processes
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop novel nonparametric control charts to effectively monitor and diagnose multivariate processes with a minimal set of modeling assumptions. Statistical process control (SPC) ...
Methodology To Forecast Product Returns For The Consumer Electronics Industry
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Reverse logistics has gained much attention in recent years. It is becoming a value added area of a supply chain network day by day. For enterprises, it has therefore become essential to manage the reverse flow of materials ...
Process Modeling System For Press Cure, Closed-cavity Tooled Thick Composites
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Thick structural composite parts often use press curing with closed-cavity tooling for achieving dimensional tolerances. A commonly encountered defect for these parts is fiber waviness, whick limits its structural strength. ...
Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline Based Framework For Statistically Parsimonious Adaptive Dynamic Programming
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Central to Dynamic Programming (DP) is the `cost-to-go' or `future value' function, which is obtained via actually solving the Bellman's equation and central to Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) is the use of an ...
Multivariate Modeling For A Multiple Stage, Multiple Objective Green Building Framework
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Green building is a sustainable concept to reduce environmental impact. Decision–making for green building is a complex task. A multi–stage green building framework will guide future development of a comprehensive multiple ...
CNT Reinforced Epoxy Foamed And Electrospun Nano-fiber Interlayer Systems For Manufacturing Lighter And Stronger Featherweight Composites
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Multiple works have been performed in improving carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites especially in terms of strength so delamination, which is the major defect in laminated composites, is prevented. Nevertheless, ...
Constraint Optimal Selection Techniques (COSTs) For Linear Programming
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Simplex pivoting algorithms remain the dominant approach to solve linear programming (LP) because they have advantages over interior-point methods. However, current simplex algorithms are often inadequate for solving a ...
The Equivalence And Generalization Of Optimization Criteria
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
In this dissertation we first show that existing optimization criteria are equivalent to the maximization of a real-valued function in a one-dimensional Euclidean space. The criteria are said to be scalar equivalent. All ...
