Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 69-73).<br>This thesis proposes guidelines for designing kinetic architectural structures, in which rules based on shape grammars, are used for motion capturing and design. There is an increasing demand for adaptive architecture that reconfigures itself physically to meet functional or climatic changes. These guidelines provide a way for the architect to describe and design novel kinetic structures based on s/he already has to me

Abstract:

A method of locating structural damage is developed and tested to aid in the evaluation of structural health. This method will help minimize the cost of structural inspection and repair by informing engineers of where damage, due a seismic event, has occurred before the removal of finishes for visual inspection. This thesis begins to answer the question “can structural damage be detected solely through analysis of experimentally measured mode shapes?” The work encompasses construction of a test structure, with three braces that can be repeatedly engaged or dis-engaged, thus allowing for testin

Master of Science<br>Department of Architectural Engineering and Construction Science<br>Kimberly Waggle Kramer<br>This report discusses the two main types of structural connections used for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) pultruded shapes, which are mechanical and bonded connections. The most common types of mechanical and bonded connections for FRP pultruded shapes are bolted and adhesively bonded joints respectively, and the advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed. Bolted connections are the most common type of connection used for FRP pultruded shapes and are therefore the focus o

Abstract:

Existing methods of evaluating the structural system of a building after a seismic event consist of removing architectural elements such as drywall, cladding, insulation, and fireproofing. This method is destructive and costly in terms of downtime and repairs. This research focuses on removing the guesswork by using forced vibration testing (FVT) to experimentally determine the health of a building. The experimental structure is a one-story, steel, bridge-like structure with removable braces. An engaged brace represents a nominal and undamaged condition; a dis-engaged brace represents a brace

ABSTRACT Forced Vibration Testing and Analysis of Pre- and Post- Retrofit Buildings Erica Dawn Jacobsen The primary goal of the thesis was to detect the retrofit through vibration testing of both buildings. The secondary goal focused on correctly identifying the behavior of the building through FVT, comparing that behavior to computational model predictions, and determining the necessary level of detail to include in the computational modeling. Forced vibration testing (FVT) of two stiff-wall/flexible-diaphragm buildings yielded natural frequencies and mode shapes for the two buildings. The

Abstract:

This thesis develops an algorithm for shape representation and matching. The algorithm is an object centered, boundary based method for shape recognition. Global features of the shape are utilized to define a frame of reference relative to which local shape features are characterized. The curvature of the boundary at a point is the local feature used. Curvature is computed by the Digital Straight Segments algorithm. Matching is done using the process of evidence accumulation similar in approach to the Generalized Hough Transform. The algorithm is tested for invariance to similarity transforms.

Monuments in our society commemorate historical events, acts or heroes, and educate people about them. Monuments are landmarks that stand out from other buildings to give the city identity and order.

Two important monuments that form part of the life of America serve as examples: (1) The Statue of Liberty, in the New York Harbor, that has become the visual icon of New York if not the nation and (2) The Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach, Florida, that leads

Abstract:

The aim of the research is 1) to introduce a definition of the concept of al-Aqsa Mosque and 2) to understand its architectural development and evolution in the early Islamic period within the cultural context of the site. The initial cause of the study was that almost nothing is known about the Muslim building activities at the enclave and there is very little information about it. The existing interpretations of the early development of al-Aqsa Mosque have been generated either from a typological and formal-aesthetic point of view or are based on interpretation constant with biblical texts.

Through these three mediums, an argument forms that Alexanderplatz functioned as both a major transit space for movement of transportation and pedestrians, but also the transit space for the movement of ideas and information.

Shape displays address this challenge by rendering dynamic physical shapes through computer controlled, actuated surfaces that users can view from

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2006.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 105-109).<br>Approaches to shape computation and algorithmic art-making within the fields of shape grammars and computer graphics still do not consider the immediacy of the artist's mark in drawing and painting. This research examines the canvas, or 2D picture plane, as the expressive and dynamic problem space of the artist who naturally reframes both the problem and the solution with each successive mark. The fluidity of the artist's mark is the most important el

Abstract:

Cette thèse présente un framework d’optimisation pour la conception hydrodynamique de forme d’hydrofoils. L’optimisation d’hydrofoil par simulation implique des objectifs d’optimisation divergents et impose des compromis contraignants en raison du coût des simulations numériques et des budgets limités généralement alloués à la conception des navires. Le framework fait appel à l’échantillonnage séquentiel et aux modèles de substitution. Un modèle prédictif est construit en utilisant la Régression par Processus Gaussien (RPG) à partir des données issues de simulations fluides effectuées sur diff

Thesis advisor: Chia-Kuang F. Tsung<br>Thesis advisor: Dunwei Wang<br>In order to understand the lattice strain effect and its relationship to size, shape, composition, and catalytic performance, novel well-defined nanocrystal archetypes were designed and synthesized by taking advantage of wet chemical, seed-mediated (mild) reduction routes developed by our lab. First, the current synthesis challenges are addressed in creating smaller monometallic shape-controlled metal nanocrystals, and novel cuboctopods via a hybrid nanoparticle stabilizer. A look at the relationship between lattice strain a

Abstract:

Network performance metrics such as delay variations and packet loss influence the performance of the network. As a consequence, the performance of applications on the network is also affected as most of the networked applications existing today are very much sensitive to the network performance. Therefore it is of utmost importance to test the intensity of such network level disturbances on the performance of applications. A network traffic shaper/emulator shapes the network traffic in terms of these performance metrics to test such applications in a controlled environment. Most of the traffi
