The Partition of Unity Method has become an attractive approach for extending the allowable frequency range for wave simulations beyond that available using piecewise polynomial elements. The non-uniqueness of solution obtained from the conventional...

During the emergency response to mass casualty incidents decisions relating to the extrication, treatment and transporting of casualties are made in a real-time, sequential manner. In this paper we describe a novel combinatorial optimization model of... Read More about A multi-objective combinatorial model of casualty processing in major incident response.

A hyper-heuristic approach to aircraft structural design optimization (2013)
Journal Article

The conceptual design of an aircraft is a challenging problem in which optimization can be of great importance to the quality of design generated. Mass optimization of the structural design of an aircraft aims to produce an airframe of minimal mass w... Read More about A hyper-heuristic approach to aircraft structural design optimization.

Modeling uncertain and dynamic casualty health in optimization-based decision support for mass casualty incident response (2013)
Journal Article

International Journal of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management, 5(2), 32-44. https://doi.org/10.4018/jiscrm.2013040103

When designing a decision support program for use in coordinating the response to Mass Casualty Incidents, the modelling of the health of casualties presents a significant challenge. In this paper we propose one such health model, capable of acknowle...

Extended isogeometric boundary element method (XIBEM) for two-dimensional Helmholtz problems (2013)
Journal Article

Isogeometric analysis is a topic of considerable interest in the field of numerical analysis. The boundary element method (BEM) requires only the bounding surface of geometries to be described; this makes non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS), which...
