The scholarship will end in May 2014. 10 months left. » 5 for the research, 5 for writing and administrative tasks This project uses CCGA to solve damage detection in truss structures Truss can be 2D or 3D » Search who are working with 3D trusses Damage factor were assigned numerically, simulated, and compared to the solution by CCGA * No noise: ( as submitted to iCOME 2013) * With noise: (2-3%) > exist in real measurement from instrumentation or environment; to be added randomly in simulation » Search how to include noise
Some cases should be tested with standard GA * simulation for performance comparison needs 30+ run for statistical validity/repeatablity, although some papers did not mention this practice.
Proposal * Committee: Dr. Kittipong, Dr. Putha, & Dr. Jitti * Defense around 3rd week of September (16th-18th) * [30 SEP - 11 OCT] will be final exam session, the committee might not be available
Writing * Automatic indexing: table and figure caption feature in MS Word > OK, but need verification with university’s formatting guideline * Citation: manual(direct but need to sort in excel first) or automated tool (Endnote, Zotero, or Reference Manager in Word) » test zotero integration with Word * Organization may not not need to follow generic chapter title » Check with faculty librarians * Word limit: not necessary, keep to the main point, no descriptive report needed
Programming * Not necessary to work with C, yet it might be defficult * Find how to solve problem by including noise into the problem * Based on Matlab, run existing code for for beam, code truss structure, include the noise, validate with multiple run » Be clear first with CCGA * …
