Predictive control using feedback- : a case study of an inverted pendulum

Creator:: Barrett, Spencer Brown
Abstract:: Vision is a flexible, non-contact sensor that can be used for position feedback in closed-loop control of dynamic systems. Current vision systems for industrial automation provide low sample rates and large sample delays relative to other types of position sensors. Poor sample rates and sample delays are a result of...

Numerical simulation of mechanically stabilized earth walls for parametric evaluation of behavior under surcharge loading

Creator:: Ambauen, Spencer J.
Abstract:: A numerical model, simulating the complex behavior of reinforced soil walls using the finite element method, was developed to evaluate the behavior of a surcharged, geosynthetic-reinforced retaining wall with modular block facing. A nonlinear elastic-plastic constitutive soil material model was calibrated to experimental plane strain test data, while the performance...

Development of self-registration features for the assembly of a microchannel hemodialyser

Creator:: Porter, Spencer D.
Abstract:: More than 1.2 million people worldwide require regular hemodialysis therapy to treat end stage renal failure. In the United States alone, there are 300,000 patients and the National Kidney Foundation predicts that this number will double in the next 10 years. Currently most dialysis patients receive treatment at a dialysis...

Behavioral and physiological indicators of stress in sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria

Creator:: Spencer, Mara L.
Abstract:: The development of assays for stress in marine fishes is vital for studying the impacts of bycatch in fisheries and for determining the health of fish being cultured or used in research. This research developed behavioral and physiological assays for stress in juvenile sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, a species that comprises...
