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....

Kinematic analysis of legged system locomotion on smooth horizontal surfaces

Creator:: Baek, Yoon Su
Abstract:: This thesis presents a model of legged locomotion in which position and velocity of body are directly controlled by positions and velocities of feet. One central relationship between foot acceleration, leg stroke and body velocity is developed. Procedures for determining all parameters of a step sequence including periods of constant...

Development of acoustic emissions testing procedures applicable to conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges subjected to diagonal tension cracking

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...

An experimental study of combined forced and free convective heat transfer to non-Newtonian fluids in the thermal entry region of a horizontal pipe

Creator:: Kim, Yong Jin, 1956-
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: thanks goes to Dr. Robert E. Wilson who has provided me with practical knowledge through his excellent

Experimental studies of a partially defluidized bed with immersed heat exchange tubes

Creator:: Sitthiphong, Norkun
Abstract:: The object of this research study is to investigate and provide some fundamental information about bed slumping in a partially defluidized bed combustor. Due to the difficulty in making measurements and observations at high temperature, a dynamically similar cold phase fluidized bed was used to model the high temperature case....

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 numerical study of solid fuel combustion in a moving bed

Creator:: Ko, Daekwun
Abstract:: Coal continues to be burned by direct combustion in packed or moving bed in small size domestic furnaces, medium size industrial furnaces, as well as small power stations. Recent stringent restrictions on exhaust emissions call for a better understanding of the process of combustion of coal in beds. The present...

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...

Analysis of energy conversion systems, including material and global warming aspects

Creator:: Zhang, Mingyuan
Abstract:: With the rapid increase of the world energy demand and consumption, the method and techniques to analyze, improve and optimize energy conversion systems have to deal not only with direct fuel exergy (energy) consumption, but also with other resources, which have associated exergy consumptions, and with environmental impacts, such as...
