The optimal satisfaction of dependability attributes and cost, in the design of engineering systems, is a hard multi-objective optimization problem which requires automated algorithms that can effectively search large design spaces. In this paper, a... Read More about Multi-objective optimization of dependability attributes using an asynchronous heterogeneous hierarchical parallel genetic algorithm.

Entanglement transition of randomly branched polymers in the hyperbranched class (2006)
Journal Article
Kunamaneni, S., Buzza, D. M. A., Read, D. J., Parker, D., Kenwright, A. M., Feast, W. J., & Larsen, A. L. (2006). Entanglement transition of randomly branched polymers in the hyperbranched class. Macromolecules, 39(19), 6720-6736. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0603276

We study the melt rheology of randomly branched polymers in the hyperbranched polymer (HBP) class which are formed by the co-condensation of AB and AB2 type monomers. Specifically, we study the effect of branch length Mx on the entanglement transitio... Read More about Entanglement transition of randomly branched polymers in the hyperbranched class.

Size exclusion chromatography and rheology of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polymers (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kunamaneni, S., Buzza, D. M. A., Parker, D., & Feast, W. J. Size exclusion chromatography and rheology of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polymers

We report size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and linear shear rheology results for a series of AB/AB2 hyperbranched polyesters. For these samples, the weight average molecular weight Mw was systematically varied from 3000 to 250000 but the spacer le...
