A Time And Frequency Domain Approach To The Optimization Of Linear Multivariable Regulators, Eugene Charles Machacek Jan 1971

A Time And Frequency Domain Approach To The Optimization Of Linear Multivariable Regulators, Eugene Charles Machacek

Masters Theses

"Optimal design and analysis of a multivariable regulator may be achieved in either the frequency or time domain. This paper describes the formulation of the matrix Riccati equation in the time domain and the Wiener-Hopf equation and the root-square-locus in the frequency domain. The necessary requirements which must be satisfied in order to achieve an optimal control vector when using a quadratic performance index are presented for both domains. The resultant optimal control vector is shown to be a linear function of the system state vector. The effect of the quadratic performance index weighting matrices on the optimal system closed-loop …

Establishment Of Wood Plants On Roadsides (Southeastern Kentucky), Samuel E. Whitaker Jan 1971

Establishment Of Wood Plants On Roadsides (Southeastern Kentucky), Samuel E. Whitaker

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Recommendations for woody plant materials to be used in direct seeding are given on the basis of the plant's ability to regenerate from roots and natural seedings. Species are recommended for each of the relief and drainage subdivisions of the study area, southeastern Kentucky. Plant information on recommended native species has been summarized to provide basic data relevant to or needed by the highway landscape designer in selecting native plant combinations to be used in direct seeding.


Operational Effects Of Auto-Utility Trailer Combinations On Rural Highways In Kentucky, Bruce S. Siria Jan 1971

Operational Effects Of Auto-Utility Trailer Combinations On Rural Highways In Kentucky, Bruce S. Siria

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

An analysis of accident records indicated that A-UT combinations are involved in a disproportionately high number of traffic mishaps. Locations which have a history of accidents involving A-UT vehicles indicated that differential crosswinds and unanticipated driving maneuvers contribute to driver loss of control. A-UT combinations contributed to the fatigue loss in pavement life approximately 50 percent as much as single-unit, two-axle, six-tire trucks (per vehicle). In general, this vehicle type constituted approximately three percent of the total traffic stream. Analysis of speed distributions indicated an equivalency factor for A-UT combinations equal to that for trucks for similar roadway types and …


History Of Utah's Salt Industry 1847-1970, John L. Clark Jan 1971

History Of Utah's Salt Industry 1847-1970, John L. Clark

Theses and Dissertations

Utah salt makers have extracted salt from three sources, the principal of these being brine from Great Salt Lake. Other sources are saline beds in Great Salt Lake Desert and subterranean halite formations in central Utah.

This study traces the development of methods used to recover and refine salt by the industry, in general, and by specific companies. It provides brief, historical sketches of the major corporations and the economic, legal, and environmental factors affecting their growth.

Utah produces about 1 per cent of the nation's salt, exporting over half of it from the state. The major factors limiting the …

Infrared Dichroism Studies Of The Relaxation Of Ethylene-Methacrylic Acid Copolymers And Their Salts, William Macknight, Y. Uemura, R. S. Stein Dec 1970

Infrared Dichroism Studies Of The Relaxation Of Ethylene-Methacrylic Acid Copolymers And Their Salts, William Macknight, Y. Uemura, R. S. Stein

William MacKnight

The change in infrared dichroism with elongation has been observed at a series of temperatures for several infrared bands of ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers and their salts. The orientation functions of hydrocarbon and meth­acrylic acid parts of the molecule were calculated as a function of the temperature of stretching. It is found that the orienta­tion function-strain coefficient for the un-ionized acid decreases uniformly with temperature, but that for the ionized salt passes through a maximum at about 40° where the strain-optical coefficient has been observed to pass through a maximum. Maxima are observed for the dichroism-strain coefficients for both the hydrocarbon …
