An Automated Design Of Reinforcement Concrete Building Structures, Mehdi Bahremand Jan 1975

An Automated Design Of Reinforcement Concrete Building Structures, Mehdi Bahremand

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to present the development and use of a computer program to perform an automated structural design of two dimensional static concrete structural systems. The structural systems considered herein are composed of reinforced concrete beams and columns connected by rigid joints. Structural systems composed of large numbers of joints and members may be analyzed by using the developed program. The paper presents the development of the structural analysis using the displacement method and matrix techniques and the development of the concrete axial-moment interaction criteria. This criteria is based on the ultimate strength design using the …

Computer Generated Holograms, Jeffrey James Gierloff

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Computer generated holograms have been made practical by the introduction of fast Fourier transform algorithms. The following discussion will brief the reader on the theory and concepts of optical holograms, the computer hologram, and the analogies of the computer hologram to its optical counterpart. Some of the programming aspects of the computer holograms are presented. The results of the generation of several computer holograms are presented, and conclusions drawn as to the effectiveness of this technique. Finally, some of the practical uses and advantages of the computer hologram are discussed.

A Search For A Computer Graphics System For The Small-Scale Computer User, Larry D. Holley Jan 1975

A Search For A Computer Graphics System For The Small-Scale Computer User, Larry D. Holley

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper presents a review of several computer graphics systems. The need for a universal graphics language is discussed and some typical languages are investigated. Several types of display terminals have been researched and their advantages and disadvantages have been listed. A vector plotting routine has been programmed on a microprocessor system as a part of the research. A description of the vector plotting system is included in this paper. The system could be a "modular unit" for general purpose use with any alphanumeric raster-scan display terminal and a simple graphics language.

Digital Communication Systems Technical Control, Joel L. Horrell Jan 1975

Digital Communication Systems Technical Control, Joel L. Horrell

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This is a study of the methods of control of an advanced military communication system. The Tactical Communication Control System has been conceived to meet the demands of military users which are currently both analog and digital but steadily evolving to all - digital. It is a study of the design and application of multiplexers, modems, processors, switches, and other nodal equipment to accommodate communications among telephone and data users in a tactical environment. The main points of interest are the communication node and the control techniques used to carry out system objectives.

Nitrogen Transformation In Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plants, Mark Lee Morris Jan 1975

Nitrogen Transformation In Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plants, Mark Lee Morris

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant and animal life; however, its presence in concentrations exceeding assimilative capacities of receiving water bodies is undesirable. Therefore, the form and concentration of total nitrogen released in wastewater effluents is of great concern. During the course of this study, the nitrogen analysis was performed on the various unit processes of the Florida Technological University wastewater treatment plant. The average percent removal of nitrogen between plant influent and clarifier effluent was 30.5% during the month of August 1975. It is believed that the nitrogen removal is attributed to luxury uptake by the biomass through …

Stabilization System Environmental Disturbance Modeling And Analysis, Lawrence E. Sieb Jan 1975

Stabilization System Environmental Disturbance Modeling And Analysis, Lawrence E. Sieb

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Systems that operate in airborne environments and rely on the resolution provided by optical sensors require a stabilization system to isolate the line-of-sight (LOS) from the operating environment. For systems employing television sensors, stabilization accuracy is of prime importance in maintaining sufficient picture resolution to allow target identification and recognition at maximum ranges. The development of system models that accurately predict stabilization performance is important both in design trade-offs and in the system design and testing [l]. Two basic concepts are available for achieving LOS stabilization; momentum stabilization which employs a spinning mass and rate stabilization which utilizes inertial rate …

Computer Aided Analysis Of Flat Plate Solar Collectors, Thomas L. Hartman Jan 1975

Computer Aided Analysis Of Flat Plate Solar Collectors, Thomas L. Hartman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A computer model of a flat plate solar collector has been devised. The model is able to simulate most common types of collectors, with up to three transparent covers of any material. Using primarily equations available from the literature the model calculates the transmission through the cover plates, the heat losses, and the useful heat gain. Derivation of all equations used are presented. A new method is presented for calculation of the mean plate temperature which differs from that commonly used in the literature. Experimental evidence is presented indicating that when transient effects are negligible the model is able to …

Test Methods For Evaluating Performance Of Solar Units, William Joseph Vitaliano Jan 1975

Test Methods For Evaluating Performance Of Solar Units, William Joseph Vitaliano

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report is concerned with the performance of solar hot water units for laboratory and field use. A solar unit is defined as a system consisting of a collector, storage tank, piping system and controls. Older unites typically employ the thermosyphon principle (gravity) while more recent models use a water pump to circulate the water. Basically, the collector absorbs solar radiation and transfers thermal energy to the water flowing in the collector tubing. From the collector, the fluid is pumped to the storage tank at which point the hot water is available for usage. A literature search revealed that very …

Design And Calibration Of A Three Component, Single Element, Wind Tunnel Force Balance, Victor W. Tisdel Jan 1975

Design And Calibration Of A Three Component, Single Element, Wind Tunnel Force Balance, Victor W. Tisdel

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper was to design a simplified wind tunnel force balance for use in elementary aerodynamics/wind tunnel laboratory courses. The applied loads and moments were determined to be as follows: The design lift force is ± 20 lbs, the design drag force is ± 10 pounds, the design pitching moment is ± 20 inch-pounds. The force balance output accuracy was arbitrarily set at ± 5% since this would be sufficient for preliminary student work. The results of this work are as follows: The force balance is fabricated from a single bar of 2024 aluminum, machines and bent …

Clustering Concepts In Automatic Pattern Recognition, Patricia J. Defilipps Jan 1975

Clustering Concepts In Automatic Pattern Recognition, Patricia J. Defilipps

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

During the past decade and a half, there has been a considerable growth of interest in problems of pattern recognition. Contributions to the growth have been from many of the disciplines including statistics, control theory, operations research, biology, linguistics, and computer science. One of the basic approaches to pattern recognition is cluster analysis, in which various methodologies may be successfully employed. It is the purpose of this research report to investigate some of the basic clustering concepts in automatic pattern recognition.
