Human-driven machine-automation of engineering research
Published in António S. Cardoso, José L. Borges, Pedro A. Costa, António T. Gomes, José C. Marques, Castorina S. Vieira, Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering IX, 2018

The open-source object-orientated programming language Python, has also grown a large user base of engineering researchers, where standard libraries now exist for site-response analysis, ground motion analysis and unit analysis, among other libraries. This effort has recently been supported with the allocation of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for software packages through Zenodo, a CERN and OpenAire initiative. The DOIs support having multiple versions of a software which “enables users to update the records files after they have been made public and researchers to easily cite either specific versions of a record or to cite, via a top-level DOI, all the versions of a record” - Zenodo (2018). In support of the direct implementation of scientific research into software, frameworks for the evaluation of the quality and predictive capabilities of scientific software have been developed for particular situations (e.g. Oberkampf et al. (2003), Bradley (2011)).

Information Management

Some component libraries were also developed to support the detailed architectural and MEP designs with the intention of allowing reuse across the contracts to reduce design costs. With the industry moving towards providing standard libraries for BIM, for example BS 8541-3:2012 and the NBS National BIM library (see http://www.nationalbimlibrary.com/), Crossrail also investigated how the components produced on the project could be made available for other projects to the benefit of the industry as a whole.
Robust object-oriented formulation of directed thermofluid stream networks
Published in Mathematical and Computer Modelling of Dynamical Systems, 2020
A methodology that is most prominently applied is the object-oriented modelling of fluid systems by means of differential-algebraic equation systems using languages like Modelica. For instance, all references for the application field above, refer to Modelica implementations and Figure 1 presents the Modelica model diagram for an air-cycle that is being part of an aircraft climate system. Modelica is an open and free modelling language [5] supported by various commercial and free tools. Also, there are free Modelica standard libraries supporting the common physical modelling base for different application fields: a Media library that supports various models of the fluid’s thermodynamic properties [6] and a standard fluid library [7] with a common interface [8] for the modelling of fluid streams through various components between volume elements and system boundaries.
Feasible rounding approaches for equality constrained mixed-integer optimization problems
Published in Optimization, 2023
Christoph Neumann, Oliver Stein
Our computational study indicates that the reduction scheme is possible for a relevant share of problems from standard libraries. Our study further shows that the granularity concept can be useful for the computation of good feasible points for equality constrained MILPs, if the number of equality constraints on integer variables is relatively small. When it is necessary to eliminate many integer variables from the model (i.e. when the matrix has more than a few rows and m is large), the chances of granularity are significantly reduced and using other techniques for the computation of feasible points is likely to be more appropriate.
