New methods for estimation, modeling and validation of dynamical systems using automatic differentiation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The main objective of this work is to demonstrate some new computational methods
for estimation, optimization and modeling of dynamical systems that use automatic
differentiation. Particular focus will be upon dynamical ...
Development of dynamic models of reactive distillation columns for simulation and determination of control
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dynamic models of a reactive distillation column have been developed and implemented in this work. A model describing the steady state behavior of the system has been built in a first step. The results from this steady ...
Modeling the elastic and plastic response of single crystals and polycrystalline aggregates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Understanding the elastic-plastic response of polycrystalline materials is an
extremely difficult task. A polycrystalline material consists of a large number of crystals
having different orientations. On its own, each ...
Conversion of methanol to light olefins on SAPO-34: kinetic modeling and reactor design
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this work, the reaction scheme of the MTO process was written in terms of elementary steps and generated by means of a computer algorithm characterizing the various species by vectors and Boolean relation matrices. The ...
Bacterial total maximum daily load (TMDL): development and evaluation of a new classification scheme for impaired waterbodies of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Under the Clean Water Act (CWA) program the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) listed 110 stream segments with pathogenic bacteria impairment in 2000. The current study was conducted to characterize the ...
Reliability-yield allocation for semiconductor integrated circuits: modeling and optimization
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This research develops yield and reliability models for fault-tolerant semiconductor integrated circuits and develops optimization algorithms that can be directly applied to these models. Since defects cause failures in ...
