Light Weight Active Structural Materials

the use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach

abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...

Risk Analysis of Port Facilities

During recent earthquakes, seaports have demonstrated that they can be highly vulnerable to seismic motion and associated ground failures. Poor seismic performance of seaports has resulted in billions of dollars of losses. Seaports are critical nodes in regional transportation networks and have an important impact on the economy of the area. Thus, the need for risk analysis of port facilities i...

Framework for Interoperable Operations in Port Facilities

Among the most advanced techniques, interoperable simulation is actually emerging in those application fields where different entities/components dynamically interacts. Currently such a technology is becoming more and more effective in new areas, reproducing the experiences already collected in military sectors. For instance, logistics infrastructures and ports see many entities interacting dyn...

Sensing Spaces: Light-Weight Monitoring of Industrial Facilities

Defects in complex industrial facilities such as engines, power plants, or energy infrastructure are difficult to diagnose, not only because of the complexity of the machinery, but also because of its spatial structure. Large energy infrastructure, for instance, stretches over vast areas, so that human inspection and diagnosis would take several months. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) provide a ...
