Comfort-based fuzzy control optimization for energy conservation in HVAC systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The work presented herein illustrates the use of computational intelligence and optimization approaches for improving the fuzzy controller's performance in architectural heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system ...
Mechanical and microstructure characterization of hard nanostructured N-bearing thin coating
(
Associazione Italiana di Metallurgia
, 2015 , Article)
Tools for machining are made of hard steels and cemented carbide (WC-Co). For specialized applications, such as aluminium
machining, diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride are also used. The main problem with ...
Enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms and their applications to process planning in reconfigurable manufacturing systems
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Capabilities of enhanced simulated-annealing-based algorithms in solving process planning problems in reconfigurable manufacturing are investigated. The algorithms are enhanced by combining variants of the simulated annealing ...

Tools for machining are made of hard steels and cemented carbide (WC-Co). For specialized applications, such as aluminium machining, diamond or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride are also used. The main problem with steel, ...
Simulated annealing with auxiliary knowledge for process planning optimization in reconfigurable manufacturing
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, three simulated annealing based algorithms that exploit auxiliary knowledge in different ways are devised and employed to handle a manufacturing process planning problem for reconfigurable manufacturing. ...
Tribo-mechanical properties and corrosion behavior investigation of anodized Ti-V alloy
(
MDPIAG
, 2018 , Article)
In the work presented in this manuscript, a self-organized TiO2 nanotube array film was produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti-V alloy in an electrolyte containing NH4F/H3PO4 and then annealed at different ...
Modelling of the flow behaviour of wrought aluminium alloys at elevated temperatures by a new constitutive equation
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The hot working behaviour of an Al–0.7%Mg–0.4%Si (wt.%) aluminium alloy has been investigated by torsion testing in the 450–575°C temperature range. The behaviour of the alloy, in terms of equivalent stress vs equivalent ...
An Approach for Energy Conservation Management Systems in Buildings
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Making decisions about energy conservation options in buildings can be rather problematic as they involve several tradeoffs between project stakeholders. Furthermore, the level of details required in making a decision by ...
ANN Model for Energy Demand and Supply Forecasting in a Hybrid Energy Supply System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents short term demand and supply forecasting model for a microgrid supply system used to secure the electricity demands of a commercial building, using one year demand data collected in hourly base. One-year ...
