  • Numerical and Experimental Evaluation of Membrane Based Energy Recovery Ventilator Performance with an Internal Support Structure

    Creator:
    Armatis, Paul D.
    Abstract:
    Large amounts of energy are wasted when conditioned air in buildings is exhausted to meet ventilation requirements. There are several technologies to recover some of this energy, including the recent development of membrane based energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). ERVs exchange sensible heat and moisture between incoming fresh and outgoing exhaust...

  • Sensitivity of Hashin damage parameters for notched composite panels in tension and out-of-plane bending

    Creator:
    Wright, Thomas J.
    Abstract:
    When using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model notched composite panels, the values of certain material properties can have a great effect on the outcome of the simulation. Progressive damage modeling is used to model how a composite structure will fail, and how that failure will affect the response of...

  • Numerical simulation of cavitating bubble-laden turbulent flows

    Creator:
    Shams Sobhani, Ehsan
    Abstract:
    Many engineering devices and propulsion systems suffer from undesirable effects of cavitation; such as degradation in the efficiency of pumps and turbines, generation of noise and vibration on ship propeller, increased drag and erosion of propeller blade, etc. In spite of decades of research on this problem, detailed study of...

  • Toward Machine Learning-Enabled Adaptivity for Humorous Robots

    Creator:
    Gray, Carson C.
    Abstract:
    Social robots benefit from a sense of humor, which requires the ability to recognize and adapt to human responses during playful interactions. Past work on humorous robots has classified audience responses with audio-based and preliminary visual-based methods following the joke punchline. Building on this progress, we conducted a survey of...

  • Experimental study of subcooled water spray cooling using flow symmetric micro-structured surfaces

    Creator:
    Tulchinsky, Alex M.
    Abstract:
    Spray impingement cooling has been shown to be a leading candidate for future high heat flux cooling applications. In general, spray cooling curves consist of three heat flux regimes; single-phase, two-phase and critical heat flux (CHF). CHF is considered the design limit for almost all two-phase cooling applications, as a...

  • Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

    Creator:
    Giles, Blake Jensen
    Abstract:
    Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

  • Container fleet-sizing for part transportation and storage in the supply chain

    Creator:
    Park, SeJoon
    Abstract:
    This research addresses fleet-sizing for reusable containers that are used for protection, transportation, and storage of parts between a component plant and assembly plant. These reusable containers are often expensive and occupy a large amount of storage space when empty and full. Having a large container fleet comes with higher...

  • 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...
