Iddap -- Interactive Computer Assistance For Creative Digital Design, Richard Franklin Crall Jan 1970

Iddap -- Interactive Computer Assistance For Creative Digital Design, Richard Franklin Crall

Doctoral Dissertations

"A new computer-aided design program to assist in the initial phases of logical design is described. The program, intended for use via an on-line remote terminal, will allow the designer to study and experiment with design alternatives during the initial creative design phases. An ALGOL-like language is used for specifying the system being designed. In addition to simulating the design, the program allows the user to perform on-line design changes, reorganize data and generate timing diagram information"--Abstract, page ii.


Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley Jan 1970

Model-Referenced Adaptive Control Of Plants With Noise And Inaccessible State Vector, Donald James Schooley

Doctoral Dissertations

"The problems of process noise, measurement noise, and inaccessible process state vector in the model-referenced system of Shackcloth-Butchart-Parks (SBP) are investigated. Since the system no longer possesses a static equilibrium point, the concept of asymptotic stability does not apply. However, by using Liapunov-like ideas, the error between the plant (process plus controller) and the model is shown to enter a region about the origin if certain bounds are known. A possible technique for reducing the size of this region is to feedback a function of the error into the plant's input. Several methods of circumventing the inaccessible state vector problem …


Infrared Reflectivity Of Doped Insb And Cds, Thomas J. Mcmahon, Robert John Bell Dec 1969

Infrared Reflectivity Of Doped Insb And Cds, Thomas J. Mcmahon, Robert John Bell

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The coupling of free carriers and lattice-vibrational modes in CdS and InSb was investigated by using reflectance measurements. When the free-carrier concentration is such that the longitudinal-optical-mode frequency is at or near the plasma frequency, the longitudinal mode takes on a mixed character and is shifted in a manner similar to that described by Varga in 1965, while the transverse mode remains fixed. The electron effective masses in such a situation can be determined with the lattice effects excluded. In the case of CdS, the polaron mass and additional absorption in the plasma mode above the longitudinal-optical phonon frequency must …


Entropy Of The Mixed State Of Some Low-Κ Type-Ii Superconductors, Don Carlos Hopkins, R. R. Rice, J. M. Carter, J. D. Hayes Dec 1969

Entropy Of The Mixed State Of Some Low-Κ Type-Ii Superconductors, Don Carlos Hopkins, R. R. Rice, J. M. Carter, J. D. Hayes

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The entropy of the mixed state of type-II superconductors with low κ(∼1) is studied for the alloys Pb0.96Tl0.04 and In0.88Sn0.12. The current theories are reviewed for approximations valid near Hc1 and near Hc2. The experiments show for the most reversible sample (Pb0.96Tl0.04) that (SB)T of the mixed state depends only on temperature, and that (ST)B increases linearly with B from its value for the superconducting state until it drops discontinuously to its normal state value at Hc2. There is no abrupt increase in the specific …


A Heavy-Ion Energy Loss Spectrometer, John T. Park, F. D. Schowengerdt Dec 1969

A Heavy-Ion Energy Loss Spectrometer, John T. Park, F. D. Schowengerdt

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A high-resolution system for the measurement of the energy loss spectra of 20-250 keV heavy ions incident on gas targets is described. The high resolution is obtained by decelerating the ion beam to a low, well-defined energy before performing the energy analysis. The energy loss spectrum is determined by changing the accelerator energy to compensate for energy lost in collisions with the gas atoms. The system is arranged so that normal fluctuations in the accelerator's power supply do not affect the energy resolution. The resolving power of the system is 2.5x104. The primary proton beam has a detected WHM of …

Some New Approaches To Shallow Impurity States, Wayne E. Tefft, Robert John Bell, Harold V. Romero Dec 1969

Some New Approaches To Shallow Impurity States, Wayne E. Tefft, Robert John Bell, Harold V. Romero

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A variational calculation of shallow surface impurity states including image-charge and anisotropic mass effects was performed using two different sets of orthogonal functions. The first set was obtained by varying the Bohr radius in the hydrogenic functions, separately for each state. In the second set the Bohr radius was allowed to become anisotropic, and the elements were separately treated as variational parameters. In each case it was shown that with certain restrictions on the variational parameters the set remained complete and orthogonal. General expressions for the energy eigenvalues for both the bulk and surface problem obtained from the first set …


Charge-Transfer Cross Sections For Negative Ions On Atomic And Molecular Targets, W. (William) R. Snow, R. D. Rundel, R. Geballe Dec 1969

Charge-Transfer Cross Sections For Negative Ions On Atomic And Molecular Targets, W. (William) R. Snow, R. D. Rundel, R. Geballe

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Charge-transfer cross sections for H- on O, O2, and NO2; O- on H, O, H2, O2, and NO2; and C- on H and O have been measured over an energy range of 0.5 to 4 keV using a modulated crossed-beam apparatus. The experimental cross sections are compared with theories of resonant and non-resonant charge transfer based on a two-state approximation. For the reactions H-+O O-+H, the cross sections are found to be consistent with detailed balancing. The effect of electron detachment on charge-transfer …

Mössbauer Effect In The Ferroelectric Pbtio₃-Bifeo₃ Solid Solutions, C. M. Yagnik, James P. Canner, Robert Gerson, William Joseph James

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Mössbauer spectra of the system (PbTiO3)0.95(BiFeO3)0.05 have been studied from room temperature to 585°C. From the isomer-shift of 0.491±0.02 mmsec-1 at room temperature, the ionicity is found to be 60% ± 20%. A discontinuity in the plot of isomer-shift versus temperature at Tc is observed. The quadrupole splitting at room temperature is 0.295 ± 0.02 mm/sec-1. A dip in the Mössbauer fraction is observed at the Curie temperature.

Channel And Z-Sections Braced By Diaphragms, Nuri Celebi, George Winter Oct 1969

Channel And Z-Sections Braced By Diaphragms, Nuri Celebi, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The behavior of thin-walled cold formed channel and Z-sections, braced on their upper flange by light-gage steel diaphragms under static loading is studied. The objective of the study is to obtain mathematical solutions, to verify these solutions by tests, and to derive design formulations for the bending behavior of channel and Z-section beams with various boundary conditions. This type of structural element is encountered as purlins and girts to support the roof cover and siding of metal buildings. The roof cover is connected to the upper flange of the purlins and gives rise to the case of braced compression flange …

Some Aspects Of Flow Through Rotating Circular Tubes, D. L. Boyer, J. R. Guala Sep 1969

Some Aspects Of Flow Through Rotating Circular Tubes, D. L. Boyer, J. R. Guala

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

The flow of water in a circular tube rotating about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the tube is studied. Information about the flow is obtained from coated hot-film probes and a constant temperature anemometer. A maximum Reynold's number of 9,500 is obtained and the Taylor number is varied from 800 to 3,100. Little similarity is found to exist between flows in rotating and in non-rotating systems in this range of parameters.


The Use Of Electrochemical Techniques To Study Turbulence Close To A Wall, Kamalesh K. Sirkar, Thomas J. Hanratty Sep 1969

The Use Of Electrochemical Techniques To Study Turbulence Close To A Wall, Kamalesh K. Sirkar, Thomas J. Hanratty

Symposia on Turbulence in Liquids

Electrochemical techniques can be used to measure the time averaged velocity gradient and the two components of the fluctuating velocity gradient at a solid surface. A chemical reaction Is carried out at the surface of a small electrode embedded in the wall. The voltage applied to the electrode Is large enough that the current flowing in the circuit is controlled by the mass transfer rate. The probes are the mass transfer analog of the hot wire or hot film anemometer. If the test electrode is part of a large electrode surface, it can be used to measure local time averaged …

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The reaction between Ce(IV) and EDTA was followed titrimetrically and spectrophotometrically and was found to occur in stages. Four equivalents of Ce(IV) are reduced per mole of EDTA almost instantaneously at room temperature. With increasing temperature and reaction time an ultimate of about 14 equivalents of Ce (IV) is consumed per mole of EDTA. Carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and other yet unidentified compounds are the products of oxidation of EDTA. The kinetics of the reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid was studied over the temperature range 11.7°-40°C by a spectrophotometric technique. The effects of the acidity of the medium and of added …


Cold-Rolled Austenitic Stainless Steel: Materials Properties And Structural Performance, George Winter, S. T. Wang Jul 1969

Cold-Rolled Austenitic Stainless Steel: Materials Properties And Structural Performance, George Winter, S. T. Wang

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

The cold reduction in thickness of austenitic stainless steel sheet brings about the following significant characteristics of material properties: 1) higher strength with an increasing amount of cold working, 2) more pronounced anisotropic material properties with increasing cold working, 3) stress strain relations different in tension and compression and depending on directions, and 4) nonlinear stress strain curves with relatively low elastic limits, especially in longitudinal compression. In addition, local buckling is encountered in thin walled structural members. These are the problems associated with the structural design of stainless steel members. The purpose of this investigation is to develop the …

MöSsbauer Effect Studies Of Ferroelectric Phase Transitions In The Pbzro₃ - Pbtio₃ - Bifeo₃ Ternary System, James P. Canner Jan 1969

MöSsbauer Effect Studies Of Ferroelectric Phase Transitions In The Pbzro₃ - Pbtio₃ - Bifeo₃ Ternary System, James P. Canner

Doctoral Dissertations

"The Mössbauer Effect was used to measure the phase transitions in the following ferroelectric compounds: 95% PbZ4₀.₈Ti₀.₂ - 5% BiFeO₃ [and] 95% PbZ4₀.₇Ti₀.₃ - 5% BiFeO₃ and in the antiferroelectric compound: 95% PbZrO₃ - 5% BiFeO₃. The parameters obtained were the area under the resonance peak, the isomer shift, and the electric quadrupole splitting, all as a function of temperature. The ionicity, electric field gradient, and Debye temperature were determined for room temperature. The data are discussed in terms of the lattice vibration model of ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics, and the structural phase transitions as recently defined for these compounds. The …

Numerical Simulation Of Pressures In A Radical System, Vijender Nath Gopal

Masters Theses

"The time-space location of an advancing front has been described in such a manner as to permit the calculation of frontal pressures when a heterogeneous (in permeability) radial system is subjected to water encroachment. A finite difference application has been developed to calculate these pressures at specified radial distances from the injection or production wellbore. These pressure have been further utilized to predict the pressures at the advancing front for different time intervals"--Abstract, page iii.


A Computerized Method For Finding The Dynamic Response Of Multi-Mass Systems With Damping To Arbitrary Inputs, Bakulesh Balbhadra Patel Jan 1969

A Computerized Method For Finding The Dynamic Response Of Multi-Mass Systems With Damping To Arbitrary Inputs, Bakulesh Balbhadra Patel

Masters Theses

"A practical procedure for the systematic application of Foss's method to the solution of multi-degree-of-freedom damped systems is presented. It is relatively easy to determine the response of classically damped systems to various inputs. For non-classically damped systems the method proposed by K. A. Foss has been employed. This method gives an exact and complete solution for the response of linear multi-mass damped systems subjected to arbitrary inputs. Since the method requires lengthy and complex computations, the use of a digital computer is essential. In order to obtain the complete response of a multi-mass damped system to both sinusoidal and …
