FIRE AND THE CIVIL ENGINEER.

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1971
THE STEADY IMPROVEMENT IN BUILDING REGULATIONS AND THEIR ADMINISTRATION IS ASSISTING THE WORK OF FIRE PROTECTION IN THOSE BRANCHES OF BUILDING DESIGN THAT ARE NORMALLY THE PROVINCE OF THE ARCHITECT. CIVIL ENGINEERS DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE SUCH ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE. THE WORKS THEY DESIGN MIGHT APPEAR TO BE FREE FROM ALL RISK OF FIRE.

Study of trailing vortices and impeller jet instabilities of a flat blade impeller in small‐scale reactors

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract The design of economically feasible and profitable production processes has driven companies toward integrated continuous manufacturing by reducing working volumes and increasing operating frequencies. Thus, the development of robust small‐scale devices capable of multivariate process optimization is essential.

Online machine learning modeling and predictive control of nonlinear systems with scheduled mode transitions

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This work develops a model predictive control (MPC) scheme using online learning of recurrent neural network (RNN) models for nonlinear systems switched between multiple operating regions following a prescribed switching schedule. Specifically, an RNN model is initially developed offline to model process dynamics using the historical ...

Static and Dynamic Behavior of Novel Y‐Shaped Sandwich Beams Subjected to Compressive Loadings: Integration of Supervised Learning and Experimentation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, the mechanical response of Y‐shaped core sandwich beams under compressive loading is investigated, using deep feed‐forward neural networks (DFNNs) for predictive modeling. The DFNN model accurately captures stress–strain behavior, influenced by design parameters and loading rates.

Flowsheet generation through hierarchical reinforcement learning and graph neural networks

open access: yesAIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Process synthesis experiences a disruptive transformation accelerated by artificial intelligence. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm for chemical process design based on a state‐of‐the‐art actor‐critic logic. Our proposed algorithm represents chemical processes as graphs and uses graph convolutional neural networks to learn from ...
