A Microprocessor-Based Mathematics Trainer With Voice Output., Michael Joseph Linnig 1956- Aug 1979

A Microprocessor-Based Mathematics Trainer With Voice Output., Michael Joseph Linnig 1956-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The design and development of a microprocessor-controlled mathematics trainer is described. The trainer is designed primarily for a blind student, and uses synthetic speech to verbally present mathematics problems in the form of incomplete mathematical sentences. The student responds via numeric keypad. Feedback is given to the student immediately after each problem and after each problem session. Several options give the teacher flexibility in pacing the student. In addition, the teacher can create individualized problem sets or choose from many predefined problem sets, arranged in order of difficulty.


Analysis Of Structures Subjected To Dynamic Loading., Jose Enrique Carrasco 1950- Feb 1979

Analysis Of Structures Subjected To Dynamic Loading., Jose Enrique Carrasco 1950-

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The objective of this thesis is to develop computer programs for the dynamic analysis of structures. For a shear building two computer programs were developed: (1) Dynamic Analysis of a Shear Building within the Elastic Range and (2) the Dynamic Analysis of a Shear Building with Elasto-Plastic Behavior. Parallel to this computer work a study was performed to investigate the error due to static condensation applied to dynamic problems. In the development of computer programs the stiffness method and the consistent mass matrix were used; and viscous damping was assumed.
