A Memory Saving Vector Fast Multipole Algorithm For Solving The Augmented Efie, Yang G. Liu, Weng Cho Chew, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
A Memory Saving Vector Fast Multipole Algorithm For Solving The Augmented Efie, Yang G. Liu, Weng Cho Chew, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
An augmented EFIE (A-EFIE)[9], [10] has been proposed to separate the contributions of the vector potential and the scalar potential for avoiding the imbalance at low frequencies. The corresponding low frequency fast multipole algorithm (LFFMA) [11] was also developed for solving the A-EFIE. Instead of the factorization of the scalar Green's function by using scalar addition theorem in the LF-FMA, we adopt the vector addition theorem for the factorization of the dyadic Green's function to realize memory savings. We are to develop a vector fast multipole algorithm for solving the A-EFIE. © 2010 IEEE.

During new fiber sensor development experiments, an easy-to-fabricate simple sensing structure with a trench and partially ablated fiber core is fabricated by using an 800 nm 35 fs 1 kHz laser. It is demonstrated that the structure forms a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with the interference between the laser light passing through the air in the trench cavity and that in the remained fiber core. The fringe visibilities are all more than 25 dB. The transmission spectra vary with the femtosecond (fs) laser ablation scanning cycle. The free spectral range (FSR) decreases as the trench length increases. The MZI structure is …

A Comparative Verification Of Forecasts From Two Operational Solar Wind Models, Donald C. Norquist, Warner C. Meeks
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The solar wind (SW) and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) have a significant influence on the near‐Earth space environment. In this study we evaluate and compare forecasts from two models that predict SW and IMF conditions: the Hakamada‐Akasofu‐Fry (HAF) version 2, operational at the Air Force Weather Agency, and Wang‐Sheeley‐Arge (WSA) version 1.6, executed routinely at the Space Weather Prediction Center. SW speed (Vsw) and IMF polarity (Bpol) forecasts at L1 were compared with Wind and Advanced Composition Explorer satellite observations. Verification statistics were computed by study year and forecast day. Results revealed that both models’ mean Vsw are …

It is evident that the low frequency full wave electromagnetic modelling is necessary for IC packaging analysis. Considering the complexity, it is very difficult to solve the whole problem directly. Even though the domain decomposition method is a legitimate approach for these types of problems, the domain decomposition method based on the equivalence principle has the low frequency breakdown issue. In this paper, we developed a low frequency augmented equivalence principle algorithm (AEPA) with the augmented electric field integral equation (AEFIE) for packaging and IC analysis. On the equivalence surfaces, not only the electric current and the magnetic current, but …

Robust Neural Network Rise Observer Based Fault Diagnostics And Prediction, James W. Fonda, S. (Sarangapani) Jagannathan, Steve Eugene Watkins
Robust Neural Network Rise Observer Based Fault Diagnostics And Prediction, James W. Fonda, S. (Sarangapani) Jagannathan, Steve Eugene Watkins
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A novel fault diagnostics and prediction scheme in continuous time is introduced for a class of nonlinear systems. The proposed method uses a novel neural network (NN) based robust integral sign of the error (RISE) observer, or estimator, allowing for semi-global asymptotic stability in the presence of NN approximation errors, disturbances and unmodeled dynamics. This is in comparison to typical results presented in the literature that show only boundedness in the presence of uncertainties. The output of the observer/estimator is compared with that of the nonlinear system and a residual is used for declaring the presence of a fault when …

Decentralized State Feedback And Near Optimal Adaptive Neural Network Control Of Interconnected Nonlinear Discrete-Time Systems, Shahab Mehraeen, Jagannathan Sarangapani, Mariesa Crow
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, first a novel decentralized state feedback stabilization controller is introduced for a class of nonlinear interconnected discrete-time systems in affine form with unknown subsystem dynamics, control gain matrix, and interconnection dynamics by employing neural networks (NNs). Subsequently, the optimal control problem of decentralized nonlinear discrete-time system is considered with unknown internal subsystem and interconnection dynamics while assuming that the control gain matrix is known. For the near optimal controller development, the direct neural dynamic programming technique is utilized to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation forward-in-time. The decentralized optimal controller design for each subsystem utilizes the critic-actor structure …

Regeneration Of Exhausted Carbon Nano-Foam Used In Desalination Of Brackish Water, Sanjay Tewari, Bill Batchelor
Regeneration Of Exhausted Carbon Nano-Foam Used In Desalination Of Brackish Water, Sanjay Tewari, Bill Batchelor
Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Carbon Nano-Foam (CNF) has been used electrochemically for water desalination. CNF electrodes attract oppositely charged ions flowing in between them and this process is known as Capacitive De-Ionization (CDI). Once saturated these electrodes lose electrochemical adsorption and need to be replaced, this increases the cost of the treatment process as CNF is expensive. The goal of this study is to obtain optimal regeneration and predictive capability by examining CNF electrodes during regeneration and developing a model to describe desorption behavior. Various experiments were conducted to explore the effect of shorting, changing polarity of electrodes, flow velocity of water over CNF …
A Life-Cycle Assessment Of Cold-Formed Steel Enclosures Verses Alternative Enclosures In Commerical Buildings, K. J. Van, L. Xu
A Life-Cycle Assessment Of Cold-Formed Steel Enclosures Verses Alternative Enclosures In Commerical Buildings, K. J. Van, L. Xu
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
In North America, the operation of buildings accounts for approximately one third of the total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions each year. Over the life of a building, the total energy use is a combination of the embodied energy in the building materials and the operating energy of the building. Building enclosures (walls and roofs) have a huge impact on both the embodied energy and the operating energy of buildings. Historically, steel has been blacklisted as a material with a high embodied energy. This has led to a misconception that steel enclosures use significantly more energy than other enclosure …

The objective of this paper is to summarize efforts in a multi year project dedicated to developing a reliable design method for cold - formed steel wall studs that rely on sheathing for bracing. Testing on single columns with sheathing, and full - scale walls with sheathin g, are summarized. Particular emphasis is placed on the observed limit states given the different sheathing conditions. The sheathing supplies beneficial restraint to the wall studs and the stiffness of this sheathing - based restraint is characterized exper imentally and analytically. A unique application of the Direct Strength Method of design is explored …
Lateral Torsional Instability Of Single Channels Restrained By Angle Cleats, G. M. Bukasa, M. Dundu Masce
Lateral Torsional Instability Of Single Channels Restrained By Angle Cleats, G. M. Bukasa, M. Dundu Masce
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
A series of experiments on the lateral tors ional instability of single channels is presented. The channels are restrained by a purlin – angle cleat connection and subjected to a two point loading system in order to simulate a distributed load. Failure of the channels occurred by local buckling of the compression zone of the flange and web and lateral torsional buckling of the channels between points of lateral support. Tests have shown the purlin–angle cleat connection to be capable of restraining the frames from failing due to lateral-torsional buckling. This eliminates the idea of having fly-bracings, which is normally …

Extending Direct Strength Design To Cold-Formed Steel Beams With Holes, Christopher D. Moen, Benjamin W. Schafer
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The extension of the American Iron and Steel Institute’s Direct Strength Method (DSM) to cold-formed steel beams with holes is nearly in place. DSM was first introduced to th e AISI specification in 2004 as an alternative to the effective width met hod, and is widely considered a major advancement in cold-formed steel component design. In DSM, the beam elastic buckling properties for a general cross-section are obtained with a computer analysis utilizing the finite strip method. A disadvantage of the finite strip method and DSM has been that discrete holes along the member length could not be easily accounted …

Load-Carrying Capacity Estimation On Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Columns With Built-Up Box Section, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao, Zuyan Shen, Rongkui Ma
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
The use of cold-formed thin-walled steel structural members has increased in recent years, and most of their sections are open section with only one symmetrical axis, which would likely fail by twisting and interaction with the others buckling mode, such as local buckling and distortional buckling. To improve the ultimate strength of columns, built-up box section can be used. In this paper, a series of loading capacity tests on high-strength cold- formed steel columns with built-up bo x section are presented, including 21 axially-compressed columns and 19 eccentrically-compressed columns sub- jected to bending moments about weak axis as well as …

Flexural And Cyclic Behaviour Of Hollow And Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes, S. Arivalagan, S. Kandasamy
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper presents a study on the flexural and cyclic behaviour of concrete filled steel hollow beam sections. The specimens in-filled with normal mix concrete, fly ash concrete, quarry waste concrete and low strength concrete (Brick-bat-lime concrete) and hollow steel sections were tested. Measurements of strains and deflections were made under two-point loading. A theoretical model was also developed to predict the moment carrying capacity. The capacities of the beams were compared with the ultimate capacity obtained using the international standards EC4-1994, ACI-2002 and AISC-LRFD-1999. The result of the experimental investigation showed that the moment carrying capacity increases based on …
Shear Behavior Of Screw Connections For Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Structures, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao
Shear Behavior Of Screw Connections For Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Steel Structures, Yuangqi Li, Xingyou Yao
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Self-drilling screws are the primary mean s to fasten cold-formed thin-walled steel members in construction. There are several failure modes for shear connections with self-drilling screws, including screw tilting, hole bearing, edge tearing, tensile fracture in net s ection of connected elements and shear fracture of screws. Meanwhile, the “g roup effect” will exist when a large number of screws are used in a shear connection. A series of tests (75 specimens) on single lap shear connections with self-drilling screws has been carried out and the results report ed in this paper. The end distance, screw spacing, pattern of screws …

CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
New advances and improvements in the manufacture of cold-formed steel shapes are continually being made. One such advancement in the manufacturing of steel studs is flange embossing, a technique used to facilitate the installation of drywall screws into the stud flange. Currently, embossed flanges are not specifically addressed in the North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (AISI S100), thereby drawing into question the use of current design equations from being used to calculate member properties for an embossed stud. A limited experimental investigation was undertaken to determine if light flange embossing affects the nominal flexural …

Innovative Damage Control Systems Using Replaceable Energy Dissipating Steel Fuses For Cold-Formed Steel Structures, Fuminobu Ozaki, Yoshimichi Kawai, Hiroshi Tanaka, Tadayoshi Okada, Ryoichi Kanno
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
This paper describes the development of innovative seismic technologies for cold-formed steel structures; a rocking steel shear wall system with replaceable energy dissipating steel fuses for low rise housing units. In this system, the fuses are placed at the base of a folded-steel sheet wall connecting an anchor bolt and the steel sheet wall. It is designed so that most of the earthquake energy can be dissipated by plastic deformation of the fuse elements, while the shear wall remains intact and resists vertical and horizontal forces caused by large earthquakes. As expected in seismic events, the fuses at the base …

Shear Behaviors Of Light-Gauge Composite Walls Under Monotonic And Cyclic Loading, Yuangqi Li, Fei Liu, Zuyan Shen, Xingyou Yao
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Shear properties of cold-formed thin-walled steel composite walls are af- fected by many factors, including the section of light-gauge studs, the space of self-drilling screws, the panel on both sides of wall, the distribution of hold down device, etc, which makes it is difficult to estimate the shear strength. In this paper, twelve Q345 light-gauge composite wall specimens with a dimension of 2400mm wide and 3000mm high were designed for shear capacity test. Two kinds of panel combination in the specimens were considered, one is gypsum board on one side and OSB board on another side, the other is gypsum …
Improvements To The Fire Performance Of Light Gauge Steel Floor Systems, B. Baleshan, M. Mahendran
Improvements To The Fire Performance Of Light Gauge Steel Floor Systems, B. Baleshan, M. Mahendran
CCFSS Proceedings of International Specialty Conference on Cold-Formed Steel Structures (1971 - 2018)
Light gauge steel frame (LSF) struct ures are increasingly used in commercial and residential build ings because of their non- combustibility, dimensional stability and ease of installation. A common application is in floor-ceiling systems. The LSF floor-ceiling systems must be designed to serv e as fire compartment boundaries and provide adequate fire resistance. Fire-rated floor-ceiling assemblies have been increasingly used in buildings. However, limited research has been undertaken in the past and hence a thorough understanding of their fire resistance behaviour is not available. Recently a new composite floor-ceilin g system has been developed to provide higher fire rating. But …

The work reported in this paper concerns an ongoing investigation aimed at developing an efficient methodology to design continuous cold-formed steel beams failing in modes that combine local, distortional and global features. At this stage, it is intended to assess how accurately can the load-carrying capacity of lipped channel continuous (two and three-span) beams subjected to non-uniform bending be predicted by means of the current Direct Strength Method (DSM) design curves. “Exact” ultimate strength values yielded by geometrically and materially non-linear shell finite element analyses are compared with estimates provided by the DSM equations and, on the basis of this …
