Module for Structural Analysis of Small Frames with Flexible Connections

VTIP:10-056

The module is an executable code that performs three-dimensional structural analysis of small frames with flexible connections. The code is written to handle specific problem requirements for shipping containers and transportation packaging systems. The module can be seamlessly integrated with other software and run efficiently on a standard ...

C*: A Bivariate Best First Search Framework, and C*-P and C*-Dijkstra, to Process Category Sequence Traversal Query in a Graph for Trip Planning

VTIP:09-125

A Category Sequence Traversal Query (CSTQ) is a new type of category based query that determines the minimum-cost path with a predefined origin-destination pair, traversing at least a single selection from each of a set of categories in a specified order. To process CSTQ in a graph corresponds to ...

O*: A Bivariate Best First Search Framework, and O*-SCDMST to Process Optimal Sequence Traversal Query in a Graph for Trip Planning

VTIP:09-126

Optimal Sequence Traversal Query (OSTQ) asks for a minimum-cost path between a given origin and a given destination, traversing a set of points of interest without a predefined order. The traveling salesman problem is a special case of OSTQ. Due to the extensive computing time required to process ...

Non-bonded Insulated Joints for Railroad Applications

VTIP:07-134

This invention provides a novel design for insulated joints (IJs) that eliminates the structural weaknesses that stems from the use of epoxy as the bonding agent in existing IJs. The new IJ design uses strong material, such as ceramics, as the electrical insulation material. Additionally, the design implements ...
