Internationales Kolloquium über Anwendungen der Informatik und Mathematik in Architektur und Bauwesen : 20. bis 22.7. 2015, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
The 20th International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering will be held at the Bauhaus University Weimar from 20th till 22nd July 2015. Architects, computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers from all over the world will meet in Weimar for an interdisciplinary exchange of experiences, to report on their results in research, development and practice and to discuss. The conference covers a broad range of research areas: numerical analysis, function theoretic methods, partial differential equations, continuum mechanics, engineering applications, coupled problems, computer sciences, and related topics. Several plenary lectures in aforementioned areas will take place during the conference.
We invite architects, engineers, designers, computer scientists, mathematicians, planners, project managers, and software developers from business, science and research to participate in the conference
Numerical modelling of additive manufacturing process for stainless steel tension testing samples
Nowadays additive manufacturing (AM) technologies including 3D printing grow rapidly and they are expected to replace conventional subtractive manufacturing technologies to some extents. During a selective laser melting (SLM) process as one of popular AM technologies for metals, large amount of heats is required to melt metal powders, and this leads to distortions and/or shrinkages of additively manufactured parts. It is useful to predict the 3D printed parts to control unwanted distortions and shrinkages before their 3D printing. This study develops a two-phase numerical modelling and simulation process of AM process for 17-4PH stainless steel and it considers the importance of post-processing and the need for calibration to achieve a high-quality printing at the end. By using this proposed AM modelling and simulation process, optimal process parameters, material properties, and topology can be obtained to ensure a part 3D printed successfully
The doctoral research abstracts Vol:2 2012 / Institute of Graduate Studies, UiTM
Foreword:
Congratulations to Institute of Graduate
studies on the conscientious efforts to publish
yet another issue of the doctoral research
abstracts. The second issue, I believe reflects IGS
continuity in the pursuit of academic excellence
in research following the inaugural publication
during the 76th convocation ceremony.
The publication epitomizes knowledge par
excellence and marks UiTM acknowledgment and
tribute to the 27 doctorates whose achievements
we proudly celebrate. Doctoral researches
transcend beyond academic achievements
which launch doctorates wherever they want to
go or whatever they want to do. It is indeed the
beginning of a lifelong learning and merely not
a milestone, but a stepping stone in the lives of
doctorates.
This issue features the PhD abstracts from across
the faculties from the disciplines of science and
technology, social science and humanities; and
business and administration.
May the Almighty guides us to the straight path,
in our endeavor for academic excellence and
grant us success in this world and the next.

Intelligent Systems
This book is dedicated to intelligent systems of broad-spectrum application, such as personal and social biosafety or use of intelligent sensory micro-nanosystems such as "e-nose", "e-tongue" and "e-eye". In addition to that, effective acquiring information, knowledge management and improved knowledge transfer in any media, as well as modeling its information content using meta-and hyper heuristics and semantic reasoning all benefit from the systems covered in this book. Intelligent systems can also be applied in education and generating the intelligent distributed eLearning architecture, as well as in a large number of technical fields, such as industrial design, manufacturing and utilization, e.g., in precision agriculture, cartography, electric power distribution systems, intelligent building management systems, drilling operations etc. Furthermore, decision making using fuzzy logic models, computational recognition of comprehension uncertainty and the joint synthesis of goals and means of intelligent behavior biosystems, as well as diagnostic and human support in the healthcare environment have also been made easier
The doctoral research abstracts. Vol:7 2015 / Institute of Graduate Studies, UiTM
Foreword:
The Seventh Issue of The Doctoral Research Abstracts captures the novelty of
65 doctorates receiving their scrolls in UiTM’s 82nd Convocation in the field of
Science and Technology, Business and Administration, and Social Science and
Humanities. To the recipients I would like to say that you have most certainly
done UiTM proud by journeying through the scholastic path with its endless
challenges and impediments, and persevering right till the very end.
This convocation should not be regarded as the end of your highest scholarly
achievement and contribution to the body of knowledge but rather as the
beginning of embarking into high impact innovative research for the
community and country from knowledge gained during this academic
journey.
As alumni of UiTM, we will always hold you dear to our hearts. A new
‘handshake’ is about to take place between you and UiTM as joint
collaborators in future research undertakings. I envisioned a strong
research pact between you as our alumni and UiTM in breaking the
frontier of knowledge through research.
I wish you all the best in your endeavour and may I offer my
congratulations to all the graduands. ‘UiTM sentiasa dihati ku’ /

Optimised performance of cap and pin insulator under wet pollution conditions using a mono-objective genetic algorithm
Extensive research was carried out on the relation between pollution performances of high voltage insulators and their shape. However, very little work has been published using numerical optimisation methods. In this article, we propose an alternative approach for optimising insulators shapes by adopting an optimisation numerical approach, namely the genetic algorithms technique combined with the finite element method for electrical field and leakage current density calculation. The objective is to compare the pollution performance of an industrial cap and pin insulator with its optimised model obtained using a genetic algorithms optimisation method. The impact of the insulator shape and the pollution on the electrical parameters (voltage, electric field and conduction current density distributions) are quantified. In this work, it was shown that the optimised shape performs better than the existing equivalent units when the pollution is deposited near to high voltage terminal located at the pin of a cap-and-pin insulator

Excerpt:
As an academic institution, we strive to meet and exceed the expectations for graduate programs and laud our values and contributions to the academic community. At the same time, we must recognize, appreciate, and promote the unique non-academic values and accomplishments that our faculty team brings to the national defense, which is a priority of the Federal Government. In this respect, through our diverse and multi-faceted contributions, our faculty, as a whole, excel, not only along the metrics of civilian academic expectations, but also along the metrics of military requirements, and national priorities
