  • Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

    Creator:
    Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

  • Environment-adaptive RF Sensing with Transferable ANN Features

    Creator:
    Wang, Guangxin
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) sensing arises as a promising option for enabling the internet of things (IoT) applications that transform our life into a world of smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries. The innovation of IoT reveals the benefits of RF sensing across cost, pervasiveness, unobtrusiveness, and privacy. However, challenges...

  • Resiliency of United States Power Grids to Inclement Weather Conditions

    Creator:
    Trevis, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    The United States depends on the electrical grid infrastructure for nearly every facet of its operation. Understanding how inclement weather affects the reliability of the grid and what the U.S. is doing to ensure its resiliency will be a key step moving forward into the 21st century as global climate...

  • Computing Substation Fragility as a Function of Seismic Component Failure

    Creator:
    Stark, William D.
    Abstract:
    The electrical grid of the Western Interconnection is vulnerable to earthquake damage, especially large-magnitude megathrust events, due to the unique seismic profile of the region. However, the size of the Western Interconnection makes it difficult to model seismic failure in electrical substations to the level of detail necessary to improve...

  • Development of a Hybrid Simulation for an Ocean Wave Energy Converter

    Creator:
    Harris, Jesse
    Abstract:
    Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are of interest around the globe as global economies begin to shift their interest to renewable forms of energy. However, the devices are costly to construct–a quality that can be relieved through proper modeling, control, and implementation. This paper presents the numerical and hybrid simulation...

  • The Fundamental Behavior of CLT Floor-to-Wall Connections in Fire

    Creator:
    Redus, James Aaron
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on the fundamental behavior of CLT floor-to-wall connections during a fire. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panelized structures rely on floor-to-wall connections for the load path and stability of the structure. Additionally, the fire performance of these connections is critical to prevent horizontal or vertical fire spread within these...

  • Automated Synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks using Graph Grammars and Monte Carlo Tree Search

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hongyang
    Abstract:
    In this work, a fully automated approach to synthesis Metal-Organic Frameworks is presented. We use graph to represent the structure of Metal-organic Frameworks and use graph grammars which are backbone rules and functional group rules to generate metal-organic framework. For a given parameter value of the user defined metal-organic framework,...

  • Secure Data Analytics under Data Integrity Attacks

    Creator:
    De Silva, Shashini A.
    Abstract:
    There has been tremendous growth in using data analytic and machine learning algorithms to make critical decisions, such as in the national power grid, healthcare operations, and autonomous vehicles. Employing data analytic for decision-making allows cyber attackers to manipulate the decisions of these algorithms through data falsification. Hence, the trustworthiness...

  • A Non-negative Matrix Factorization Framework for Privacy-preserving and Federated Learning

    Creator:
    Alsulaimawi, Zahir Ahmed Hussein
    Abstract:
    The uncontrolled growth in domains such as surveillance systems, health care services, and finance produce a large amount of data and contain potentially sensitive data that can become public if they are not appropriately sanitized. Motivated by this issue, we introduce a privacy filter (PF), a novel non-negative matrix factorization...
