Fault Detection And Diagnosis For Air Conditioners And Heat Pumps Based On Virtual Sensors, Woohyun Kim
Fault Detection And Diagnosis For Air Conditioners And Heat Pumps Based On Virtual Sensors, Woohyun Kim
Open Access Dissertations
The primary goal of this research is to develop and demonstrate an integrated, on-line performance monitoring and diagnostic system with low cost sensors for air conditioning and heat pump equipment. Automated fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) has the potential for improving energy efficiency along with reducing service costs and comfort complaints. To achieve this goal, virtual sensors with low cost measurements and simple models were developed to estimate quantities that would be expensive and or difficult to measure directly.
A virtual refrigerant charge sensor (VRC) was extended with three approaches for determining refrigerant charge for equipment having variable-speed compressors and …

Graphene Decorated Substrates And Their Interfacial Characteristics, Anurag Kumar
Open Access Dissertations
Carbon nanotubes and graphene have been extensively studied for their excellent properties. As research on carbon expands, two major issues face the scientific community: (i) Expanding the scale of synthesis and (ii) Integration of different carbon structures for improved functionality. While significant advancements have been made in large-scale synthesis, room for improvement remains. As the scale of production increases, issues such as time, cost and energy that may otherwise not be very significant, begin to play greater roles. Thus, in order to effectively transition from laboratory prototypes to industrial products, a synthesis method that can address these issues is strongly …

Scalable Autonomous Operations Of Unmanned Assets, Sunghun Jung
Open Access Dissertations
Although there have been great theoretical advances in the region of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) autonomy, applications of those theories into real world are still hesitated due to unexpected disturbances. Most of UAVs which are currently used are mainly, strictly speaking, Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPA) since most works related with the flight control, sensor data analysis, and decision makings are done by human operators. To increase the degree of autonomy, many researches are focused on developing Unmanned Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (UAAV) which can takeoff, fly to the interested area by avoiding unexpected obstacles, perform various missions with decision makings, come …
Numerical Techniques For The Noninvasive Assessment Of Material Properties And Stresses In Soft Biomaterials, Kent David Butz
Numerical Techniques For The Noninvasive Assessment Of Material Properties And Stresses In Soft Biomaterials, Kent David Butz
Open Access Dissertations
The noninvasive measurement of finite displacements and strains in biomaterials by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be shown to enable mathematical estimates of stress distributions and material properties within structures of the body such as articular cartilage or the intervertebral disc. Such methods will allow for non-contact and patient-specific modeling in a manner not currently possible with traditional mechanical testing or finite element techniques. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to develop computational methods incorporating imaging-based measures of deformation, composition, and local microstructure to permit nondestructive analysis of a range of complex biomechanical systems.
Finite strain-based models were developed …
Identification And Quantification Of Nonlinear Behavior In A Disbonded Aluminum Honeycomb Panel Using Single Degree-Of-Freedom Models, Eric Richard Dittman
Identification And Quantification Of Nonlinear Behavior In A Disbonded Aluminum Honeycomb Panel Using Single Degree-Of-Freedom Models, Eric Richard Dittman
Open Access Dissertations
There is not a complete understanding of how damage mechanisms in composite materials react to nondestructive testing inputs. A deeper understanding of composite damage mechanisms and their responses to external vibratory excitation is sought using nonlinear modeling of damping and stiffness characteristics related to the damage. Different types of damping and stiffness single degree-of-freedom models are presented with analysis of their behavior at specific harmonics of the primary resonance of the system. After an understanding of the approximate behaviors of the models is obtained, experimental tests on a damaged specimen are conducted. An aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel is damaged by …
