The subject of this thesis is the comparison of the development method used to determine the value of Xbar control chart limits when the underlying process parameters are unknown and must be estimated from data obtained from a Phase I historical samples. I propose in the research for this thesis to compare these three proposed methods in detail comparing their performance by developing empirical probability of signal distributions for both in-control and out-of-control situations. Generation of these distributions will be accomplished through discrete simulation. The final result will consist of recommendations concerning the best of the methods to use in …

Multiplexed Control Of Smart Structure Using Piezoelectric Actuators, Kumar S. Nale

ETD Archive

Active control of smart structures containing a large number of actuators and sensors presents a tradeoff between increased system performance and the cost and bulk of the required hardware and computational resources. A technique called multiplexed control offers advantages when software and hardware resources are scarce and performance specifications call for a large number of actuators and sensors. In structural control applications, in particular those using smart materials, it is often desirable to increase the number of actuators to enhance controllability.The focus of this research is to demonstrate real-time multiplexing on the hardware side of the actively controlled structure. Multiplexing …
