Often these aspects are contradictory and it is not possible to choose one over the other; instead, they each need to be fulfilled as well as possible. In this situation ideal solutions are not always found because they are either not sought or the problems are regarded as being too complex for human capabilities.To improve this situation we propose complementing traditional design approaches with a design synthesis process based on evolutionary many-criteria optimization methods that can fulfill formalizable design requirements. In addition we show how self-organizing maps can be used to visualize many-dimensional solution spaces in an easily analyzable and comprehensible form.The system is presented using an urban planning scenario for the placement of building volumes.}, subject = {Design synthesis}, language = {en} } @misc{Habtemariam, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Habtemariam, Abinet Kifle}, title = {Numerical Demolition Analysis of a Slender Guyed Antenna Mast}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4460}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210723-44609}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {75}, abstract = {The main purpose of the thesis is to ensure the safe demolition of old guyed antenna masts that are located in different parts of Germany. The major problem in demolition of this masts is the falling down of the masts in unexpected direction because of buckling problem. The objective of this thesis is development of a numerical models using finite element method (FEM) and assuring a controlled collapse by coming up with different time setups for the detonation of explosives which are responsible for cutting down the cables. The result of this thesis will avoid unexpected outcomes during the demolition processes and prevent risk of collapsing of the mast over near by structures.}, subject = {Abbruch}, language = {en} }
