Numerical study of natural convection in square partitioned and non-partitioned enclosures

Creator:

Sukkaset, Prasart

Abstract:

Heat transfer characteristics and associated temperature and flow fields for natural convection in two-dimensional, square, partitioned and non-partitioned enclosures have been determined for Grashof numbers ranging from 10³ to 10⁶. The vertical side walls of the enclosure are isothermal with all other surfaces assumed to be adiabatic. An adiabatic partition...

Wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis wind turbines

Creator:

Lin, Shuh-ren

Abstract:

In order to estimate wind turbine residL2;characteristics in the presence of atmospheric turbulence, the important atmospheric sources for the force excitations felt by the wind turbine system must be identified and characterized. The goal of this research is to develop the wind turbulence input model for horizontal axis wind turbines....

Derivation and automatic generation of Kane's dynamical equations for mechanical manipulators

Creator:

Nie, Tinglin

Abstract:

To design and precisely control a manipulator requires developing an efficient dynamic model of the system. The present work demonstrates how this can be accomplished by employing Kane's dynamical equations. First, a detailed manual derivation of the equations of motion for a particular robot is presented in such way that...

A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

Creator:

Lee, Chyuan-shen

Abstract:

A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

Response of guyed offshore towers to stochastic loads in the presence of steady current

Creator:

Brynjolfsson, Sigurdur

Abstract:

The validity of the widely used stochastic linearization method for analysing the response of guyed towers to stochastic loads is investigated. The governing equations of a guyed tower have two main sources of nonlinearities, fluid-structure interaction and the restoring force of the cables. In this study, two models are considered....

The application of a band variable-inertia flywheel to an urban transit bus

Creator:

Moosavi-Rad, Hamid

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates by means of computer simulation the potential of a Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel (BVIF) to store energy for an urban transit bus. Replacing both a fixed-inertia flywheel (FIF) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel is capable of accelerating a vehicle from rest to a...

On the lyapunov-based approach to robustness bounds

Creator:

Jo, Jang Hyen

Abstract:

The objective of this investigation is the development of improved techniques for the estimation of robustness for dynamic systems with structured uncertainties, a problem which was approached by application of the Lyapunov direct method. This thesis considers the sign properties of the Lyapunov function derivative integrated along finite intervals of...

Dissertation
Selection and performance evaluation of a test method to assess thermal cracking resistance of asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:

Jung, Duhwoe

Abstract:

Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperature cracking results from extremely cold temperatures; thermal fatigue cracking results from daily temperature cycles. Low temperature cracking is...
