Development and study on the generalized geometric model for robot calibration
(1991)
Accuracy improvement in the processes of robot calibration depends heavily on the models that represent the robots. This dissertation is about the development and evaluation of the so-called general model. Unlike any ...
Finite control volume modeling of the turbulent motion of air in an enclosure
(1987)
The FCVM has been used to solve both open flow problems and turbulent flow problems. The particular problems chosen for consideration were the flow between infinite parallel plates and the buoyant flow in a square enclosure. ...
Derivation, testing and application of a new multi-scale k-e̳ turbulence model
(1991)
This study discusses the derivation and assessment of a new two-scale dissipation equation, the genesis of which begins with a different fundamental equation than previous multi-scale or single-scale models. The new approach ...
Development of a transient heat and mass transfer model of residential attics to predict energy savings produced by the use of radiant barriers
(1992)
A transient heat and mass transfer model was developed to predict ceiling heat gain/loss through the attic space in residences and to accurately estimate savings in cooling and heating loads produced by the use of radiant ...
Improved analysis of laminated heterogeneous beams and associated formulation of a new finite element method
(1988)
Kirchhoff's theory for plates and Bernouilli-Euler's theory for beams ignore the effects of transverse shear and normal deformations on stresses and displacements. Various subsequent theories have incorporated these effects ...
The prediction and measurement of incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal
(1986)
A computational/experimental study was conducted on the incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal at a variety of leakage rates and seal rotation rates. The predictions were obtained using a finite difference code that ...
Nonlinear dynamic system identification using recurrent neural networks
(1993)
The objective of this research is to develop a nonlinear empirical model structure and an associated parameter estimation algorithm based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), and to further use it for the identification ...
Modeling delamination characteristics and influence in a laminated plate with a part-through hole
(1993)
A laminated composite pressure vessel subjected to a concentrated laser ablation process has been investigated. The primary goal of this research was to investigate the role of delamination in the failure process. A layered ...
Modelling for combustion and sulphur retention efficiencies of fluidized bed combustors
(1987)
Studies on the combustion of coal and sulphur capture by limestone/lime particles are carried out analytically and verified with the experimental data reported elsewhere. Extensive experimental data are available for small ...
