A Constraint-Driven Generative Design Methodology for Modular Actuated Robotic Components in Decentralized Manufacturing
Abstract: This work formalizes a constraint-driven generative design framework for actuator-integrated robotic components intended for decentralized additive manufacturing. Conventional topology optimization typically prioritizes structural efficiency while treating actuator integration, modular interfaces, and fabrication constraints as secondary considerations. In contrast, the proposed methodology encodes these requirements as first-order geometric and mechanical constraints prior to automated material redistribution. The framework defines preserved actuator geometry, bounded design envelopes, representative loading abstractions, and manufacturability-aware domains …

Analysis and Design of Cantilevered Steel False Work Systems Subjected to Earthquake Loads
Abstract: Construction of buildings with non-typical floors has been always problematic in extending the false work all over the height to support non-regular cantilevered slabs extending from upper floors. Cantilevered frames supporting formwork systems with no need for extending the false work along the height of the building have been recently designed in previous studies. However, the need to design such cantilevers in order to withstand dynamic loads has emerged. Within …

Durability Design of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Cost Minimization by Excel Solver
Abstract: Design procedures based on current specifications do not always ensure required service life, mostly because of the underestimated durability parameters. This is due to the fact that definition of durability is not operational as basis for design, maintenance and repair. This paper presents an Excel spreadsheet model for the cost optimization of simply supported beams designed according to the requirements of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) code and the Japan …

Design And Implementation of Controllers for Quadruple Tank System
Abstract: Process industries have tightly integrated processes which are non-linear and have multiple manipulated and controlled variables. Level measurement plays an important role in many industries. In this paper, the level of the two lower tanks has to be controlled. Three different controllers have been designed and implemented by manipulating the motorised control valve. Conventional controllers may not perform well because of the variations in process dynamics and disturbances around them. …

Design and Modeling of High Speed Homopolar Inductor Alternator
Abstract: Homopolar inductor alternator (HIA) is basically used for high speed application because of its expected high reliability in severe environments, high efficiency and capacity of rotating at high speed. Even though homopolar inductor alternator is a synchronous generator, the asymmetric structure of alternator makes its theoretical principle ambiguous and design of alternator is difficult. So investigation on this alternator is very important. In this study, design and modelling of six …
