Structural analysis of symmetrical penstock bifurcations by the finite element method

Creator:: Shugar, T. A.
Abstract:: A need has existed for an in-depth structural analysis of penstock bifurcations because they form an integral part of hydroelectric power plants. Their geometrical complexity has prevented classical structural analysis from providing an accurate and overall picture of the stresses in the structure. Digital computers and the development of finite...

Development of a supervisor's manual for employee training in sanitary food production in the frozen fruit and vegetable industry

Creator:: Eddy, Victoria Jean
Abstract:: This study describes the development and analysis of a manual for management and supervisory personnel involved with employee training programs in sanitary food production in the frozen fruit and vegetable industry. The physical aspects of the plant, microbiology of frozen foods, and employee training are discussed in relationship to the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Influence of expansive soils on structures in the Eugene area

Creator:: Bonell, John Alexander
Abstract:: Expansive soils in Eugene, Oregon present a problem to residents, consultants, contractors, and the city government. During the years 1977 to 1979, the nature and extent of the problem was identified, including an outline of the local occurrence of expansive soils and possible engineering solutions to the most often encountered...

A multiprocessor node for communication and control

Creator:: Atluri, Venkata Ram
Abstract:: This paper describes the design and implementation of "A multiprocessor node for communication and control" (MPCC). MPCC is a high speed, high performance local area network capable of performing real time control tasks. This is achieved by the concurrent operation of two 8051 microcontrollers, a dual port RAM and the...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Analysis of ice formation with flow reversal for application to an ice-maker heat pump

Creator:: Aceves, Salvador M.
Abstract:: The problems of freezing and melting present special mathematical complexity and, except for the most elementary one-dimensional cases, require a numerical solution. However, these problems have a growing importance in engineering problems because of their application to metallurgical operations, food preservation, heating and air conditioning, etc. In the present work,...

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...

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...

Machine learning in engineering : techniques to speed up numerical optimization

Creator:: Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
Abstract:: Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...

Opamp characterization techniques

Creator:: Ramamurthy, Karthik
Abstract:: Standard methodologies exist for testing and characterizing digital circuits but the same cannot be said of analog circuits. Though much theoretical work has been done to model the linear and nonlinear aspects of analog circuits, a firm practical background for the design of testable analog cells has yet to be...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Modeling transient thermalhydraulic behavior of a thermionic fuel element for nuclear space reactors

Creator:: Al-Kheliewi, Abdullah S.
Abstract:: A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed. It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power, electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the TFE as a function of time as well as...
