  • Adaptive model reference control of highly maneuverable high performance aircraft

    Creator:
    Collins, David C. (David Charles), 1969-
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an adaptive model reference controller for a highly maneuverable high performance aircraft, in particular, a modified F18. An adaptive controller is developed to maneuver an aircraft at a high angle of attack. Thus, the aircraft is required to fly over a highly nonlinear flight regime. The adaptive...

  • Minimum-cost multi-item coordinated ordering models with dependent set up cost

    Creator:
    Kim, Jae Yearn
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we discuss extensions of two coordinated ordering methods which reduce inventory costs for multi-item systems. Goyal's method, which is useful for constant demand, decreases cost by assigning an order interval for each item, and an optimum number of purchase orders per period. Goyal's method is modified to...

  • Optimal allocation of screening inspection effort for nonserial production systems

    Creator:
    Yum, Bong Jin
    Abstract:
    The economic aspects of quality control have received wide concern since its developmental stages, however, they have not been sufficiently explored. Moreover, as the need for complex products of high precision and reliability increases, most industrial firms have experienced some difficulties in meeting that need at reasonable costs with their...

  • High resolution root locus plots

    Creator:
    Swenson, Edward James
    Abstract:
    A technique is presented for obtaining high resolution root locus plots and Bode diagrams. This is done by translating the origin of coordinates to the area of interest by an appropriate change of variable. The method is applicable to hand calculations or use of a potential analog computer. Examples include...

  • Critical evaluation of Ouyang's model reduction method

    Creator:
    Jia, Zuxin
    Abstract:
    A model reduction method for stable, linear, time-invariant, continuous systems is critically studied. This method, proposed by Prof. Ouyang, is based on the concept of power dispersion and the least-squared estimation technique. The reduced models obtained by this method retain the stability of the stable, high order original systems and...

  • Production rates of skyline, balloon, and helicopter yarding systems from gross time study analysis

    Creator:
    Curtis, Richard James
    Abstract:
    This paper describes the analysis of data from a three-year gross time study of skyline, balloon, and helicopter yarding systems operating in Western Oregon. Data collection activities were designed and supervised by the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, U.S.D.A. Forest Service. The specific logging systems studied were running...

  • A model reference adaptive system for control of a flexible mechanical manipulator

    Creator:
    Lee, Byeung Kyun
    Abstract:
    For control of a flexible manipulator, the assumed- mode method is applied to the mathematical model of the model reference adaptive system. In the assumed-mode method, the flexible, continuous manipulator is described by a limited number of degrees of freedom. A modified model reference adaptive system is studied for direct...

  • Heuristic algorithm for multistage scheduling in food processing industry

    Creator:
    Juwono, Cynthia P.
    Abstract:
    A multistage production system consists of a number of production stages that are interrelated, that is the output from one stage forms input to the next stage. There are constraints associated with each stage as well as constraints imposed by the overall system. Besides, there are multiple objectives that need...

  • Nonlinear control applied to power systems

    Creator:
    Vedam, Rajkumar
    Abstract:
    When large disturbances occur in interconnected power systems, there exists the danger that the power system states may leave an associated region of stability, if timely corrective action is not taken. Open-loop remedial control actions such as field-forcing, line-tripping, switching of series-capacitors, energizing braking resistors, etc., are helpful in reducing...
