  • Evaluating complex engineered systems using complex network representations

    Creator:
    Haley, Brandon M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis is the combination of two research publications working toward a unified strategy in which to represent complex engineered systems as complex networks. Current engineered system modeling techniques segment large complex models into multiple groups to be simulated independently. These methods restrict the evaluations of such complex systems as...

  • Complex network theory, streamflow, and hydrometric monitoring system design

    Creator:
    Halverson, M. J. and Fleming, S. W.
    Abstract:
    Network theory is applied to an array of streamflow gauges located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia (BC) and Yukon, Canada. The goal of the analysis is to assess whether insights from this branch of mathematical graph theory can be meaningfully applied to hydrometric data, and, more specifically, whether...

  • Fast approach for unsteady flow routing in complex river networks based on performance graphs

    Creator:
    Leon, Arturo S., Kanashiro, Elizabeth A., and González-Castro, Juan A.
    Abstract:
    We present a new model for unsteady flow routing through dendritic and looped river networks based on performance graphs. The model builds upon the application of Hydraulic Performance Graph (HPG) to unsteady flow routing introduced by Gonzalez-Castro (2000) and adopts the Volume Performance Graph (VPG) introduced by Hoy and Schmidt...

  • Synthesis of networks with complex terminations

    Creator:
    Nagaki, Junior Akio
    Abstract:
    A method for the synthesis of networks with specified complex terminations is presented. The specification function is realized within a multiplicative constant. The technique presented differs somewhat from present methods employed in the synthesis of networks with resistive terminations. The technique is one of rearranging a transfer function and separating...

  • Synthesis of networks with complex terminations using active networks

    Creator:
    Chung, Ki Hwan
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, we are concerned with the synthesis of a specified voltage ratio transfer function having a specified complex termination. A method for the active network synthesis with specified complex termination using resistive and capacitive elements and only one negative impedance converter is presented. The synthesis technique involves rearranging...

  • Students' Understanding of Complex Numbers in Middle-Division Physics

    Creator:
    Smith, Emily M.
    Abstract:
    Mathematical sophistication increases rapidly as students transition from lower- to upper-division physics courses. Complex algebra is one of the mathematical tools that is not introduced or used in lower-division physics courses but is pervasive throughout upper-division courses. In this dissertation, I study middle-division physics students' developing fluency with complex number...

  • COLAN IV, a local area network for communications and control

    Creator:
    Thye, Yong
    Abstract:
    This thesis discusses the design and development of a viable local area network (LAN) which supports both communications and control applications. The emphasis was to develop a practical and cost effective system which offered high performance while utilizing low cost components. System cost was kept low by utilizing a twisted-pair...

  • Synthesis of active filters employing thin-film distributed-parameter networks

    Creator:
    Barker, Donald George
    Abstract:
    This thesis deals with the problem of realizing filter and delay functions by means of an active network structure composed of distributed RC networks in conjunction with a negative-impedance converter. Presented is a general synthesis technique which can be used for the realization of rational filter and delay functions such...
