  • Multi-Scale, Multi-Physics Reactor Pulse Simulation Method with Macroscopic and Microscopic Feedback Effects

    Creator:
    Zabriskie, Adam X.
    Abstract:
    The Transient Reactor Test facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is a unique reactor capable of stressing test fuel during a power pulse transient. TREAT fuel is composed of high enriched uranium (HEU) heterogeneous fuel; microscopic UO₂ fuel grains with an average radius of 10 μm are randomly distributed...

  • Rendering and Simulation for Tires Rolling on Snow

    Creator:
    Clucas, Alexander
    Abstract:
    Modeling tire-snow interaction is important in designing effective snow tires, which directly affects road safety during wintry weather. Unfortunately, tires have complex tread designs and the physical properties of snow have not been characterized. We employ the Material Point Method (MPM) for simulating a material that mimics the fracturing and...

  • Tsunami Simulation Using OpenSees : Validation of Bridge Response and Exploration of Shallow Water Flow

    Creator:
    Cressman, Luke R.
    Abstract:
    The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...

  • Development of a meta-model for behavioral model representation and reuse

    Creator:
    Giles, Blake Jensen
    Abstract:
    Behavioral modeling is increasingly an imperative component of system design as the systems under construction become more and more complex. Without behavioral modeling available to the modern designer, design and verification of these systems would be much more laborious. Additionally, with the increasing computational power of today's modeling and simulation...

  • Classification of motion capture sequences

    Creator:
    Maniar, Dharin Haresh
    Abstract:
    Motion capture data is a digital representation of the complex temporal structure of human motion. Motion capture is widely used for data-driven animation in sports,medicine and entertainment, because of its ability to capture complex and realistic motions. Due to its efficiency and cost, methods for reusing collections of motion capture...

  • A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

    Creator:
    Casburn, Ledah
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

  • Interactive human locomotion using motion graphs and mobility maps

    Creator:
    Srinivasan, Madhusudhanan
    Abstract:
    Graph-based approaches for sequencing motion capture data have produced some of the most realistic and controllable character motion to date. Most previous graph-based approaches have employed a run-time global search to find paths through the motion graph that meet user-defined constraints such as a desired locomotion path. Such searches do...

  • Creating and editing motion machines for 3D characters

    Creator:
    Korada, Suman
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts in user-control of data-driven characters have focused on designing high-level graph data-structures that we call a Behavior Finite State Machine (BFSM). A BFSM is an interactive data-structure that benefits from the advantages of both motion graphs and blend-based techniques for generating animated motion. Each node in a BFSM...

  • ACTFEL device simulation with impact ionization using a two-sheet charge model

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Anthony F.
    Abstract:
    The main achievement of this thesis is the development of a two-sheet charge simulation model with space charge creation by trap-to-band impact ionization to describe the electrical characteristics of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. The two-sheet charge model localizes all of the space charge in the phosphor region of an...

  • Design and implementation of a decision support framework for evaluating manufacturing alternatives

    Creator:
    Saleh, Budiman
    Abstract:
    To be competitive in domestic and international markets, manufacturing management is routinely faced with the decision to automate or replace existing production facilities with advanced manufacturing technologies. Installation of advanced manufacturing technologies requires high capital investment, and there is much evidence to suggest that automation for automation's sake has proven...
