Anchor-last deployment procedure for mooring

Creator:: Thresher, Robert W. and Nath, John H.
Abstract:: The anchor-last mooring procedure is investigated in order to determine the transient forces in the mooring line and the velocities of the anchor. Transient forces were determined and the results showed that no severe snap loads occurred for the cases investigated. In addition, it was found that the vertical velocity...

Discrete-time explicit model reference adaptive control for robotic manipulators

Creator:: Yuh, Junku
Abstract:: In this dissertation a direct approach to discrete-time model reference adaptive control (MRAC) based on hyperstability theory is proposed to control industrial robotic manipulators. For industrial robots and manipulators, which usually have highly nonlinear and complex dynamic equations and often have unknown inertia characteristics, it is very difficult to achieve...

A model reference adaptive system for control of a flexible mechanical manipulator

Creator:: Lee, Byeung Kyun
Abstract:: For control of a flexible manipulator, the assumed- mode method is applied to the mathematical model of the model reference adaptive system. In the assumed-mode method, the flexible, continuous manipulator is described by a limited number of degrees of freedom. A modified model reference adaptive system is studied for direct...

Quantifying the total organic compound emissions during kiln drying of 2 by 6 coastal Douglas-fir lumber and analyzing the effects of drying conditions

Creator:: Wu, Jing
Abstract:: Volatile organic emissions (VOCs) from the kiln drying of lumber are of concern to government, research agencies, and the forest products industry. In the Pacific Northwest, neither the quantity of VOC emissions from kilns drying Douglas-fir is available, nor the effects of drying schedule and lumber-related characteristics on the emissions....

Effects of selected atmospheric variables on the power output of a DOE Mod-2 wind turbine

Creator:: Germain, Alan Clifford.
Abstract:: The effects of selected atmospheric variables on the power output of a DOE Mod-2 horizontal-axis wind turbine are studied. Particular attention is focused on unsteady, nonuniform flow conditions within the rotor disc as represented by vertical profiles measured at adjacent meteorological towers. Primary variables are wind speed, wind direction and...

Engineering design knowledge management and capture using a process overview document

Creator:: Zarins, Andis M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the possible impact of an engineering design and problem solving process overview document on knowledge management and capture. A process overview document was first created. Next, two multi-disciplinary design teams worked over a two-week span to develop concepts to address a problematic opportunity. One...

Stability of some commercial lubricating oil addition agents in an internal combustion engine

Creator:: Robidart, Charles Martin
Abstract:: In the mid 1930's the Diesel engine, which formerly was used only as a large, low-speed machine, was developed into a smaller high-speed engine for use in trucks, busses, and tractors. Along with these changes in mechanical design came many problems, of which a major one was lubrication. Because ordinary...

Nonlinear adaptive control of highly maneuverable high performance aircraft

Creator:: Cho, Sul
Abstract:: This thesis presents an effective control design methodology using a one-step-ahead prediction adaptive control law and an adaptive control law based on a Lyapunov function. These control law were applied to a highly maneuverable high performance aircraft, in particular, a modified F/A-18. An adaptive controller is developed to maneuver an...

Dynamic modeling, control and linear theory of a projectile equipped with a rotating internal part

Creator:: Frost, Geoffrey W.
Abstract:: Dynamic modeling of the atmospheric flight mechanics of a projectile equipped with an uncontrolled internal rotating disk is investigated and a modified projectile linear theory is established. It is shown through modeling of this type of projectile that several coefficients of the epicyclic dynamics are altered, leading to changes in...
