Framework Model for Asset Maintenance Management

This paper presents the development of a generic framework for asset maintenance management. The framework has been presented in the form of an IDEF0 process model. The process model served to illustrate the interaction and dependencies among a diverse set of knowledge areas. In this framework, outputs from one management process become inputs to another in a subsequent hierarchy. The structure of the framework model exhibited the characteristics of flexibility and robustness. Updates in knowledge can be accommodated within the framework through incorporating new management processes and/or activities, as well as establishing new sequencing logic for these processes and/or activities. In a supporting effort to the development of the framework model, the writers have objectively reviewed the general capabilities of three commercially available software applications that are known within the asset management (AM) industry. These three applications, while encompassing a wide selection of capabilities, represent a typical selection of information technology (IT) tools and techniques that are widely used in strategic AM practices. The objective of this review is to study the operational characteristics and functionalities, and to assess the capability of software interoperability, of a representative sample of IT tools known within the AM industry.     

The evaluation of domain integrals in complex multiply-connected three-dimensional geometries for boundary element methods

The treatment of domain integrals has been a topic of interest almost since the inception of the boundary element method (BEM). Proponents of meshless methods such as the dual reciprocity method (DRM) and the multiple reciprocity method (MRM) have typically pointed out that these meshless methods obviate the need for an interior discretization. Hence, the DRM and MRM maintain one of the biggest advantages of the BEM, namely, the boundary-only discretization. On the other hand, other researchers maintain that classical domain integration with an interior discretization is more robust. However, the discretization of the domain in complex multiply-connected geometries remains problematic. In this research, three methods for evaluating the domain integrals associated with the boundary element analysis of the three-dimensional Poisson and nonhomogeneous Helmholtz equations in complex multiply-connected geometries are compared. The methods include the DRM, classical cell-based domain integration, and a novel auxiliary domain method. The auxiliary domain method allows the evaluation of the domain integral by constructing an approximately C ¹ extension of the domain integrand into the complement of the multiply-connected domain. This approach combines the robustness and accuracy of direct domain integral evaluation while, at the same time, allowing for a relatively simple interior discretization. Comparisons are made between these three methods of domain integral evaluation in terms of speed and accuracy.

A method for the efficient prioritization of infrastructure renewal projects

The infrastructure renewal program at MIT consists of a large number of projects with an estimated budget that could approach $1 billion. Infrastructure renewal at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is the process of evaluating and investing in the maintenance of facility systems and basic structure to preserve existing campus buildings. The selection and prioritization of projects must be addressed with a systematic method for the optimal allocation of funds and other resources. This paper presents a case study of a prioritization method utilizing multi-attribute utility theory. This method was developed at MIT's Department of Nuclear Engineering and was deployed by the Department of Facilities after appropriate modifications were implemented to address the idiosyncrasies of infrastructure renewal projects and the competing criteria and constraints that influence the judgment of the decision-makers. Such criteria include minimization of risk, optimization of economic impact, and coordination with academic policies, programs, and operations of the Institute. A brief overview of the method is presented, as well as the results of its application to the prioritization of infrastructure renewal projects. Results of workshops held at MIT with the participation of stakeholders demonstrate the feasibility of the prioritization method and the usefulness of this approach.

Routing with multiple quality-of-services constraints: An approximation perspective

Finding a path that satisfies multiple Quality-of-Service (QoS) constraints is vital to the deployment of current emerged services. However, existing algorithms are not very efficient and effective at finding such a path. Moreover, few works focus on three or more QoS constraints. In this paper, we present an enhanced version of fully polynomial time approximation scheme (EFPTAS) for multiconstrainted path optimal (MCOP) problem. Specifically, we make four major contributions. We first allow the proposed algorithm to construct an auxiliary graph, through which the QoS parameters on each of the finding path can be guaranteed not to exceed the given constraints. Then we adopt a concept, called nonlinear definition of path constraints in EFPTAS for reducing both time and space complexity. Also, we enable EFPTAS to run iteratively to facilitate a progressive refinement of the finding result. In addition to these, we identify some “deployment” issues for proposed algorithm, the essential steps that how and when the EFPTAS takes place are presented. By analyzing the proposed algorithm theoretically, we find that the presented EFPTAS can find a (1+ε)-approximation path in the network with time complexity O(|E||V|/ε) (where |E| is the number of edges and |V| is the number of nodes), which outperforms the previous best-known algorithm for MCOP. We conduct an extensive comparison between the algorithm presented in this paper and previous best-known study experimentally, our results indicate that EFPTAS can find a path with low complexity and preferable quality.     

Local artificial boundary conditions for Schrödinger and heat equations by using high-order azimuth derivatives on circular artificial boundary

The aim of the paper is to design high-order artificial boundary conditions for the Schrödinger equation on unbounded domains in parallel with a treatment of the heat equation. We first introduce a circular artificial boundary to divide the unbounded definition domain into a bounded computational domain and an unbounded exterior domain. On the exterior domain, the Laplace transformation in time and Fourier series in space are applied to achieve the relation of special functions. Then the rational functions are used to approximate the relation of the special functions. Applying the inverse Laplace transformation to a series of simple rational function, we finally obtain the corresponding high-order artificial boundary conditions, where a sequence of auxiliary variables are utilized to avoid the high-order derivatives in respect to time and space. Furthermore, the finite difference method is formulated to discretize the reduced initial–boundary value problem with high-order artificial boundary conditions on a bounded computational domain. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the performance of our method.
