Solvable Hill Equation, Lee W. Casperson
Solvable Hill Equation, Lee W. Casperson
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
A second-order linear differential equation with continuous periodic coefficients is solved exactly in terms of elementary functions. Equations of this type arise commonly in several areas of physics, and the solutions may find practical applications. As an illustration, the results are applied to the problem of an electron in a one-dimensional periodic potential.
Power Characteristics Of Single‐Mode Semiconductor Lasers, Jaroslava Z. Wilcox, Lee W. Casperson
Power Characteristics Of Single‐Mode Semiconductor Lasers, Jaroslava Z. Wilcox, Lee W. Casperson
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
The basic aspects of power calculations for high‐gain semiconductor lasers are briefly reviewed, and a straightforward one‐dimensional model is described. The relative importance of spontaneous emission, distributed losses, band‐to‐band absorption, and high single‐pass gain are investigated in detail.

Determination Of Systemic Blood Pressure Via Autospectral Analysis Of Oscillometric Data, Eugene Elie Warner
Determination Of Systemic Blood Pressure Via Autospectral Analysis Of Oscillometric Data, Eugene Elie Warner
Dissertations and Theses
The currently accepted methods for measuring systemic blood pressure are either highly accurate but invasive in nature or clinically convenient but prone to observer-related errors. A new oscillometric method uses sensitive signal conditioning and sensing equipment with a non-invasive arm cuff to record arterial pulsations. The goal of this study is to establish more reliable criteria for the identification of systolic and diastolic pressures from oscillometric data.
Circulatory Processes In The Columbia River Estuary, David A. Jay
Circulatory Processes In The Columbia River Estuary, David A. Jay
Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
Covers tidal circulation, density distribution, vertical mixing, salt transport, and low-frequency flow processes, with contributions to estuarine circulation theory.
State Space Approach To Flood Stage Estimation, Gregory Allen Jones
State Space Approach To Flood Stage Estimation, Gregory Allen Jones
Dissertations and Theses
A flood routing and stage prediction model is developed using the techniques of State Space and Kalman filtering. The governing equation is the physically based hydrologic method of flood routing with the output being an optimal estimate of stage given known inputs of streamflow. These equations are developed in state space and the Kalman filter is employed to estimate the flow and river stage.
The model is applied to the Toutle and Cowlitz Rivers in the State of Washington, where the stage is affected by a shifting bed elevation. With the deterministic inputs at Mayfield Dam on the Cowlitz and …
Load Flow And Contingency Analysis In Power Systems, Kianfar Sorooshian
Load Flow And Contingency Analysis In Power Systems, Kianfar Sorooshian
Dissertations and Theses
A load flow and contingency analysis program for secure design, planning and operation of power systems. Depending on the application either Newton-Raphson or Fast- Decoupled method is employed to solve the load flow. Fault analysis is done by Z bus method. Contingency analysis may be done following the load flow solution by Fast-Decoupled method. The program is also interfaced with a graphic system which displays a single line diagram of the system on the graphic screen along with relevant data and informs the operator of any change by flashing the faulted bus or the line outage.
Propagation Of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian Waveguide Modes In Free Space, Lee W. Casperson, O. M. Stafsudd, Leroy V. Sutter, Jonathan Gary Grossman
Propagation Of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian Waveguide Modes In Free Space, Lee W. Casperson, O. M. Stafsudd, Leroy V. Sutter, Jonathan Gary Grossman
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
The cavity modes of metal strip waveguide lasers are most simply expressed in terms of Airy-Hermite-Gaussian functions. The free space propagation of the resulting beam modes has been examined, and both near- and far-field patterns have been calculated and measured. Phase plates may be useful for enhancing the far-field intensity.
A Numerical Solution For Three Dimensional Beam Columns In The Elastic Region, Hamid Reza Afghan
A Numerical Solution For Three Dimensional Beam Columns In The Elastic Region, Hamid Reza Afghan
Dissertations and Theses
The three differential equations describing the behavior of the beam columns in three dimensions are derived and presented in finite difference form. A computer model is developed to solve the simultaneous equations in the elastic regions and predict the member behavior.
The computer program is checked by comparing the results obtained from the program with data from other investigators, and classical analytical techniques.
