A novel morphing vehicle design for improving the aerodynamics of road vehicles

• A generic pickup truck was retrofitted with a low-cost, morphing structure on the roof and was extended to the bed region to maximize the interaction with airflow.
• A parametric genetic algorithm optimization framework was developed and utilized to identify the optimal shapes of the morphing structure at a range of driving speeds.
• The PGA framework was combined with computational fluid dynamics simulations to calculate and analyze the aerodynamic efficiency of the morphing vehicle.

Non-invasive and cost-effective photochromic webbing structures for monitoring UV-induced mechanical strength degradation.

• Raw yarns were coated with Spyropiran urethane and utilized as UV-sensitive sensors.
• Coated yarns were woven into webbing structures, and the photochromic webbings underwent UV exposure and tensile tests.
• A color analysis program and mathematical model were developed to correlate the color change of the coated yarns with the strength of the webbings.

• Design pipelines for distributing urban drinking water.
• Quantifying, surveying, and estimating costs for replacing old urban pipelines.
• Issuing statements

• A vertical shaft spillway with marguerite-shaped inlets was designed.
• Computational fluid dynamics simulations were utilized to investigate the hydraulic and hydrodynamic performance of the spillway during the formation of swirling flow.
• The geometrical properties of the spillway were optimized to improve the discharge capacity.

• Civil engineering plans and layouts were designed for a six-story, reinforced concrete mall.
• Drawings, specifications, calculations, sketches, diagrams, and final plans were prepared for the building.
• Quantity surveying and cost estimations were prepared.
