Abstract:

In Computer Aided Design model the shape is usually defined as a boundary representation, a cell complex of faces, edges, and vertices. The boundary representation is generated from a system of geometric constraints, with parameters as degrees of freedom. The dimensions of the boundary representation are determined by the parameters in the CAD system used to model the part, and every single parametric perturbation may generate different changes in the part model shape and dimensions. Thus, one can compute dimensional sensitivity to parameter perturbations. A "Sensitivity Analysis" method is pr

Abstract:

This thesis presents a very generalized model useful in the economic evaluation of capital projects. Net Present Value and the Internal Rate of Return are used as the performance measures. A theoretical framework to perform sensitivity analysis including bivariate analysis and sensitivity to functional forms is presented. During the development of the model, emphasis is given to the financial mechanisms available to fund large capital projects. Also, mathematical functions that can be used to represent cash flow profiles generated in each project phase are introduced. These profiles are appli

Abstract:

The topological derivative provides the sensitivity of a given shape functional with respect to an infinitesimal non-smooth domain pertubation (insertion of hole or inclusion, for instance). Classically, this derivative comes from the second term of the topological asymptotic expansion, dealing only with inifinitesimal pertubations. However, for pratical applications, we need to insert pertubations of finite sizes.Therefore, we consider other terms in the expansion, leading to the concept of higher-order topological derivatives. In a particular, we observe that the topological-shape sensitivit

Abstract:

’Flight’ is a program that uses flight mechanics to estimate the flight range of birds. This program, used by ornithologists, is only available for Windows OS. It requires manual imputation of body measurements and constants (one observation at a time) and this is time-consuming. Therefore, the first task is to implement the methods in R, a programming language that runs on various platforms. The resulting package named flying, has three advantages; first, it can estimate flight range of multiple bird observations, second, it makes it easier to experiment with different settings (e.g. constant

When jobs have to be processed on a set of identical parallel machines so as to minimize the makespan of the schedule, list scheduling rules form a popular class of heuristics.

When one of the job processing times is gradually increased, the schedule produced by a list scheduling rule will be affected in a m

Abstract:

In this thesis we introduce a model for informative censoring. We assume that the joint distribution of the failure and the censored times depends on a parameter δ, which is actually a measure of the possible dependence, and a bias function B(t,θ). Knowledge of δ means that the joint distribution is fully specified, while B(t,θ) can be any function of the failure times. Being unable to draw inferences about δ, we perform a sensitivity analysis on the parameters of interest for small values of δ, based on a first order approximation. This will give us an idea of how robust our estimates are in

The present work addresses the usefulness of a simple and efficient computer program (ULTSTR) for a sensitivity analysis of ship longitudinal strength, where this program was originally developed for calculating the collapse moment.

Emulation of computer experiments via surrogate models can be difficult when the number of input parameters determining the simulation grows any greater than a few dozen.

The active subspace method is a linear dimension reduction technique which uses the gradients of a function to determine important input directions. Unfortunately, we cannot expect to always have access to the gradients of our black-box functions. We thus begin by developing an estimator for the active subspace of a function using ker

Only recently it was discovered that faster algorithms than the Wagner-Whitin algorithm exist to solve the economic lot-sizing problem. Moreover, these algorithms reveal that the problem has more structure than was recognized so far.

Abstract:

Gait analysis is one of the primary applications of biomechanics and deals with scientific description of human locomotion, which is a qualitative concept as observed through the human eye. METU Gait Analysis Laboratory has been operating in various fields of gait and motion analyses since 1999. Although several studies have previously been undertaken about METU Gait Analysis System, until now, the effects of methodology and protocol related system parameters on kinematic analysis results have not been fully and exhaustively investigated. This thesis presents an assessment on sensitivity and

Abstract:

The Flux Jacobian matrices, the elements of which are the derivatives of the flux vectors with respect to the flow variables, are needed to be evaluated in implicit flow solutions and in analytical sensitivity analyzing methods. The main motivation behind this thesis study is to explore the accuracy of the numerically evaluated flux Jacobian matrices and the effects of the errors in those matrices on the convergence of the flow solver, on the accuracy of the sensitivities and on the performance of the design optimization cycle. To perform these objectives a flow solver, which uses exact Newto
