3d Reconstruction For Post-Disaster Analysis Of Civil Infrastructure, Joshua Caron
3d Reconstruction For Post-Disaster Analysis Of Civil Infrastructure, Joshua Caron
All Theses
Following a natural disaster, there is a need to rapidly assess the safety of civil infrastructure. This job is typically undertaken by local governments with the help of volunteer civil engineers with structural expertise, as well as organizations such as Cal EMA and ASCE. However, the inspection process is labor-intensive and a bit tedious, and results are prone to error as they tend to rely on the individual expertise of the inspectors. 3D reconstruction stands to become a useful tool in the safety evaluation process, as well as providing valuable opportunities for forensic engineering. This research explores the application of …

A Finite Element Approach To Stress Analysis Of Face Gears, Lokamanya Siva Manohar Rampilla
ETD Archive
Face Gears have alternative gear-teeth configuration compared to Bevel Gears. Face Gear have a standard spur pinion as opposed to a bevel Gear. This work concentrates on modeling of a Face-gear, Meshed with a spur gear, using CAD Software and Finite Elements Analysis. The bending stress developed at the gear teeth is determined. Numerical results are validated using the bending stress developed between two involute spur gears
Analysis Of Wavelet Based Alternatives For Ofdm, Tassniem Rashed
Analysis Of Wavelet Based Alternatives For Ofdm, Tassniem Rashed
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this thesis is to analyze wavelet based alternatives for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and find whether a better system performance is achieved when compared to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based OFDM. We analyze DFT, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) based systems in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The analysis is verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results in the thesis indicate that the bit error probability (BEP) performance is the same for all types of systems. This confirms some results presented in the literature but differs from others. …
