Development of a posture prediction model

Creator:: Dendamrongvit, Thidarat
Abstract:: Biomechanical models have been used in designing human work environments to evaluate potential risks to workers before a work environment is constructed. In order for work environments to be modeled correctly, most biomechanical models require as input, an accurate body posture of the worker. This information can be obtained by,...

Urbanization under uncertainty and land use regulations : theory and estimation

Creator:: Cho, Seong-Hoon
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers on land use economics and policies. The first two papers focus primarily on local land use policies and urban development. The third paper addresses the question how environmental amenities affect households' residential choices in a metropolitan area. In the first paper, an option value...

Numerical simulation of cavitating bubble-laden turbulent flows

Creator:: Shams Sobhani, Ehsan
Abstract:: Many engineering devices and propulsion systems suffer from undesirable effects of cavitation; such as degradation in the efficiency of pumps and turbines, generation of noise and vibration on ship propeller, increased drag and erosion of propeller blade, etc. In spite of decades of research on this problem, detailed study of...

A "mildly inconsistent" method for accelerating upstream corner balance transport

Creator:: Gulick, John C.
Abstract:: A new method for accelerating the Upstream Corner Balance (UCB) discretization of the equation of transfer is introduced. The inconsistent acceleration equations for the UCB discretization are derived by applying the "Modified 4-Step" diffusion synthetic acceleration technique not to the UCB discretization, but instead to the simple corner balance (SCB)...

Modeling shallow-water hydrodynamics : rotations, rips, and rivers

Creator:: Long, Joseph W.
Abstract:: Hydrodynamic models are used as a diagnostic tool to understand the temporal variability of shallow-water processes that are difficult to completely resolve with traditional field measurements. For all simulations, modeled quantities are qualitatively or quantitatively compared with available measurements to gain confidence in conclusions derived from the modeled results. In...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

On the use of recession slope analysis and the Boussinesq equation for interpreting hydrographs and characterizing aquifers

Creator:: Rupp, David Earl
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Tracer experiments in a non-uniform porous medium : implications of diffusive mass transfer on the late-time breakthrough behavior

Creator:: Freiherr von Schwerin, Claudius
Abstract:: Mass transfer processes were evaluated in an artificial, non-uniform porous medium with a power law distribution of diffusion rate coefficients obtained from physical characterization of solute and porous medium. Breakthrough curves of several pulse experiments conducted at different velocities were compared (1) to analytical expressions for concentrations at mass transfer...

Renewal risk processes with stochastic returns on investments : a unified approach and analysis of the ruin probabilities

Creator:: Constantinescu, Corina D.
Abstract:: This thesis considers one of the classical problems in the actuarial mathematics literature, the decay of the probability of ruin in the collective risk model. The claim number process N(t) is assumed to be a renewal process, the resulting model being referred as the Sparre Andersen risk model. The inter-claim...

Bridge Model Parameter Sensitivity in Pushover and Nonlinear Time History Analysis

Creator:: Johnsohn, Karryn E.
Abstract:: The aim of this research is to understand and quantify the modeling differences between CSiBridge and OpenSees, and to determine sensitive model parameters. When designing bridges for the high seismic region of California, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) performs nonlinear time history analysis of their bridge models. For three-dimensional...
