High Pressure Hydraulic Supply System Model, William H. Mock Jan 1977

High Pressure Hydraulic Supply System Model, William H. Mock

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A mathematical model is derived to provide quasi-steady state predictions of the performance of a high pressure hydraulic supply system, using equations which govern the physical processes as opposed to equations which match input-output characteristics. Model equations are developed to describe the operation of the power source, control valves, energy source, gas side of the system, hydraulic accumulator, the motorpump, and hydraulic side of the system. The accuracy of the model is then checked by inserting known parameters from a previously developed control system and comparing model predictions with performance data from this system.


Modeling The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Leo Albert Mallette Jan 1977

Modeling The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Leo Albert Mallette

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Solar cells have traditionally been used for a direct sunlight to energy conversion, and there has been relatively little investigation into their use as a low data rate optical detector. This report summarizes the results of experimental work to model a silicon solar cell, and its response to a pulse of light. A lumped circuit model, and governing equations for each of the elements is developed. Experimental data on several cells are used to curve fit the governing equations. The parameters of interest are tested as a function of both temperature, and background illumination. Having derived a working model, using …


Aggregate Production Planning Techniques And Comparison, Fariborz Mazaheri Jan 1977

Aggregate Production Planning Techniques And Comparison, Fariborz Mazaheri

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Aggregate production planning models are of the greatest importance to operations management, since these plans enable management to utilize the major resources at its command. In this report the structure of the aggregate planning problem and a number of different approaches are reviewed and presented. Approaches are classified in three categories: a) workforce smoothing models, b) production smoothing models, c) production and workforce models. The models are compared with respect to the cost structure, parameters estimation, forecast requirement, decision variables, computability and optimization techniques.


The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman Jan 1977

The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The optical detector characteristics of a silicon solar cell are examined. A general equivalent circuit model is developed and typical parameter values are determined. A comparison is made between the photovoltaic and short circuit operating modes and the short circuit mode is shown to be preferable in terms of linearity, extended frequency response, and temperature stability. A method is developed to determine the noise characteristics of the amplifier-detector system used in the short circuit mode. The silicon solar cell is shown to be an economical alternative to standard photodiodes in low to medium data rate systems.


Aging Characteristics Of An Aluminum-4.5% Copper-1.5% Magnesium Alloy, Robert Earl Sulouff Jan 1977

Aging Characteristics Of An Aluminum-4.5% Copper-1.5% Magnesium Alloy, Robert Earl Sulouff

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The effects of quenching conditions, single-step and two-step aging treatments on the tensile properties of an AL-4.5%Cu-1.5%Mg alloy has been investigated. Results indicate that two distinctly different precipitates of GPB and S' form during aging. Single-step aging at 140°C , 160°C and 190°C indicated that 24 hours at 160°C produced optimum strength (67 ksi UTS). Two-step aging for 3 days at 140°C plus 190°C resulted in a slight increase in strength over single step aging at 190°C. Slow (oil) quenching as well as direct quenching improved the tensile properties when aged at 190°C. Reversion occurred slowly over the temperature range …


Selection Considerations For A Servovalve, Frank J. Niemas Jr. Jan 1977

Selection Considerations For A Servovalve, Frank J. Niemas Jr.

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Servovalves are a key factor in determining the performance characteristics of an electrohydraulic position servo. This paper examines the interrelationships between servovalve parameters and system requirements. A brief description of the configuration and operation of a typical servovalve is presented. Key servovalve parameters are identified, defined, and discussed. System performance considerations are identified, and the interrelationships between system requirements and servovalve parameters are examined. Examples of servovalve parameters for missile, aircraft and industrial systems are given to illustrate the effect of system requirements on a servovalve. Finally, general guide-lines for selecting and specifying servovalve parameters are given.

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf Jan 1977

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Associative processors, parallel processors, content addressable parallel processors, networks, and other architectures have been around the computing scene as "Distributed Processing", for some time now. Several hundred papers have been written discussing their use and design but so far no academic work has tried to summarize the field called "Distributed Processing" using a systems approach. This research report attempts to remedy this lack. It attempts to gather into one place information that existed as of late 1976 in a format easily understandable by managers and systems engineers. The report deals also with certain issues of centralization and decentralization of EDP …

Quantitative Analysis Of Thin Films By Dc Arc Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Arnold W. Hogrefe Jan 1977

Quantitative Analysis Of Thin Films By Dc Arc Optical Emission Spectroscopy, Arnold W. Hogrefe

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The use of DC arc optical emission spectroscopy (OES) for quantitative analysis of thin films deposited on graphite electrodes was investigated as a process control tool. Three binary systems were evaluated: nickel-chromium, phosphorous-silicon, and silicon-aluminum. Sampling by direct deposition onto graphite electrodes placed in the deposition chamber with product runs proved to be a rapid, representative, and non-disruptive technique. Standard electrodes were prepared for each system either by evaporation of solutions of known concentration onto the tips of electrodes or by weighing out powdered standards of the appropriate concentrations. Standard curves were then prepared by burning multiple sets of standard …
