Analysis of the Effects of Combustion Products on Forced Ignition and Turbulent Flame Propagation

Creator:

Bonebrake, Jonathan M.

Abstract:

Practical combustion devices frequently rely upon forced ignition of turbulent fuel/oxidizer mixtures that also contain the product species of combustion. Examples of this include engines that use exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), inter-turbine burners in aircraft engines, and other systems the utilize staged combustion. In this work, the effects of major...

Smooth Trajectory Generation for Machine Tools and Industrial Robots

Creator:

Tajima, Shingo

Abstract:

This thesis presents accurate and time-optimal smooth reference trajectory generation techniques for manufacturing equipment such as high-speed machine tools (MT) and industrial robots (IR). Typical machining tool-paths for MTs and IRs are defined as a series of discrete linear moves. Although Point-to-Point (P2P) feed motion can be generated by interpolating...

Automated Assembly Planning : From CAD Model to Virtual Assembly Process

Creator:

Rafibakhsh, Nima

Abstract:

Assembly planning is a crucial task for every manufacturing product. In general, assembly operations consume more than 30% of the total manufacturing time and cost. Therefore, any effort in optimizing assembly will have a significant impact on the economic success of manufacturing. Finding an optimal assembly plan by hand is...
