  • Vehicle dynamic validation and analysis from suspension forces

    Creator:
    Murray, William S.
    Abstract:
    Several standardized courses for Formula SAE (FSAE) testing are introduced and described with sufficient detail to be reproduced by any Formula SAE team. Basic analysis methods for the courses are given as well as explanations of how those analyses could be used. On-car data from the Global Formula Racing (GFR)...

  • An Application of Visual Management to Reduce In-house Material Handling Wastes in SMEs with High Product Variety and Low Volume

    Creator:
    Kopriva, Cody
    Abstract:
    Small and medium-sized enterprises that are characterized by high-mix, low-volume, and highly variable production operations often have unstructured material movement processes that are prone to material handling wastes. These sub-optimal material handling systems are oftentimes a result of small and medium-sized enterprise's limited resources. Current tools to assist organizations in...

  • The Global Consumption Speeds of Premixed Large-Hydrocarbon Fuel/Air Turbulent Bunsen Flames

    Creator:
    Fillo, Aaron Jesse
    Abstract:
    Large-hydrocarbon fuels are used for ground and air transportation because of their high energy-density and will be for the foreseeable future. However, combustion of large-hydrocarbon fuels in a turbulent environment is poorly understood and difficult to predict. The turbulent flame speed, which is the velocity at which a flame front...

  • Modeling and optimization of radio frequency identification networks for inventory management

    Creator:
    Suriya, Atipong
    Abstract:
    Stock loss and out-of-stocks are outcomes of poorly designed inventory management systems and can lead to significant revenue losses. Inventory management systems (IMS) based on radio frequency identification (RFID) have the potential to minimize these losses if they are properly designed and deployed. However, the placement of RFID readers to...

  • Experimental study of two-phase gas-liquid flow in a microscale fractal-like branching flow network

    Creator:
    Kwak, Younghoon
    Abstract:
    Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas and liquid velocities. Void fractions were assessed using two different methods. First, void fraction data were acquired using a High-Speed-High-Resolution (HSHR)...

  • CLEAN learning to improve coordination and scalability in multiagent systems

    Creator:
    HolmesParker, Chris
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in multiagent learning have led to exciting new capabilities spanning fields as diverse as planetary exploration, air traffic control, military reconnaissance, and airport security. Such algorithms provide a tangible benefit over traditional control algorithms in that they allow fast responses, adapt to dynamic environments, and generally scale well....

  • Modeling convective boiling flow with in-situ local vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Salakij, Saran
    Abstract:
    The pressure drop of convective boiling flow may be reduced by extracting vapor locally since the entire generated vapor does not have to travel through the entire channel length. In this study, the theoretical model was developed to simulate a convective boiling flow through a fractal-like branching microchannel network with...

  • Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves

    Creator:
    Fernández, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This thesis proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component...

  • Characterization of flow boiling in a fractal–like branching microchannel network

    Creator:
    Edward, Lee M.
    Abstract:
    Based on experimental investigations the present study evaluates flow instability and void fraction in a fractal-like branching microchannel network with rectangular cross-section. The hydraulic diameter of the channels ranged from 308μm at the inlet to 143μm at the outlet. The flow network used is characterized by set branching ratios for...

  • Applications of the thermal wave technique in liquid thermal conductivity measurements and flow field diagnostics

    Creator:
    Wang, Zhefu
    Abstract:
    The thermal wave technique has been explored for the use of liquid thermal conductivity measurement and flow property diagnostics in this dissertation. For liquid thermal conductivity measurements, an experimental technique based on the thermal wave approach is developed. A stainless steel strip functions as both a heating element and a...
