A motion planner for a redundant mobile manipulator using the inverse kinematics
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis is an effort to develop a powerful motion-planning algorithm for the mobile manipulator. The mobile manipulator is expected to work in partially defined or unstructured environments. In global/local approach, ...
An Experimental Study on the Effects of an Upstream Gate Valve on the Accuracy of an Insertion Type Flowmeter
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Flowmeters measure the consumption of chilled water or hot water in buildings. Depending on the accuracy, cost consideration, and available space, the flowmeter selected could be an insertion type or fixed type such as ...
Evaluation of Mixing Downstream of Tees in Duct Systems with Respect to Single Point Representative Air Sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Air duct systems in nuclear facilities must meet the requirements of ANSI N13.1-1999 and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the exhaust airflow be monitored with continuous sampling in case of an accidental ...
Prediction and measurement of the rotordynamic response of an automotive turbocharger with floating ring bearings
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The present investigation advances a rotordynamic analysis of an automotive turbocharger with floating ring bearings. Each fluid film of the floating ring bearing is analyzed using a finite element model. The model ...
Characterization of the electron beam cure process of an epoxy-initiator system
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
For over forty years high energy electrons have been used to change polymer structure and properties. In this thesis we study the potential use of a high energy electron beam (e-beam) to replace the thermal curing method ...
