In response to the governmental policy of saving energy sources and reducing CO2, and carry out the resident quality of local; this paper proposes a new method for a non-intrusive load-monitoring (NILM) system in smart home to implement the load identification of electric equipments and establish the electric demand management. Non-intrusive load-monitoring techniques were often based on power ...

Abstract To enable multi-query analyses, such as optimisations of large-scale crashworthiness problems, a numerically efficient model is crucial for the development process. Therefore, data-driven Model Order Reduction (MOR) aims at generating low-fidelity models that approximate solution while strongly reducing computational cost. MOR methods became only available in recent years; detailed and...

The In-Stent Restenosis 2D model is a full y coupled multiscale simulation of post-stenting tissue growth, in which the most costly submodel blood flow simulation. This paper presents uncertainty estimations response this model, as obtained by both non-intrusive and semi-intrusive quantification. A surrogate based on Gaussian process regression for quantification takes whole black-box maps dire...

In this paper the Non-Intrusive Polynomial Chaos Method coupled to a Fictitious Domain approach has been applied to oneand twodimensional elliptic problems with geometric uncertainties, in order to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the methodology. The main advantage of non-intrusive formulation is that existing deterministic solvers can be used. A new Least-Squares Spectral Element m...

Space surveillance tracking problems, that are characterized by sparse observation data, necessitate long-term orbit propagation. For high area-to-mass-ratio space objects, long-term orbit uncertainty propagation needs to account for both conservative and non-conservative effect, such as the effect of solar radiation pressure, which results in non-negligible coupling between the orbital motion ...

In this work, we apply a non-intrusive global/local coupling strategy for the modelling of local phenomena in a NURBS patch. The idea is to consider the NURBS patch to be enriched as the global model. This results in a simple, flexible strategy: first, the global NURBS patch remains unchanged, which completely eliminates the need for costly re-parametrization procedures (even if the local domai...

Computational simulation is a highly reliable tool used to solve structural analysis problems. In recent times, several techniques have been developed in the field of computational mechanics order analyze non-linearities less time, helping decision-making when structures suffer damage. The global–local technique increase efficiency simulations by using global model obtain boundary conditions co...

Self-aerated free-surface flow studies have a more recent history compared to classical fluid dynamics. Traditional velocimetry techniques are adversely affected by the presence of gas–liquid interfaces. In present study, detailed air-water measurements were performed in highly turbulent flow, and three approaches applied: (a) centreline dual-tip phase-detection needle probe at all step edges d...

The aim of this thesis is to better support the design and evaluation of ambient displays. The major difficulty is how to evaluate them. For the furtherance of this aim, seven specific questions are raised. The answers to these seven specific questions are based on the four case studies and the relevant literature. In this thesis, first we systematically divide the evaluation of ambient display...
