Inplane And Out Of Plane Buckling Of Thick Rings Subjected To Hydrostatic Pressure, Thomas Michael Juliano May 1979

Inplane And Out Of Plane Buckling Of Thick Rings Subjected To Hydrostatic Pressure, Thomas Michael Juliano

Dissertations

The problem of inplane and out of plane buckling of a thick circular ring subjected to a hydrostatic pressure is analyzed from first principals. The equations of equilibrium from nonlinear elasticity theory are used to describe two adjacent equilibrium positions, i.e., an initial and final state. The initial position problem is assumed to be governed by linear theory. The resulting incremental value equations obtained by subtracting the two equilibrium states, are also linear in nature. These problems are reduced to a one dimensional ring theory problem by the method of power series expansion of the displacements in the radial and …


Noise Performance Of The Klapper-Kratt Low Delay Fm Detector, Allan Brown Tarbell May 1979

Noise Performance Of The Klapper-Kratt Low Delay Fm Detector, Allan Brown Tarbell

Dissertations

In this dissertation the dual differentiator version of the Klapper-Kratt FM detector family is investigated with additive Gaussian noise. Prior analysis of this new detector family has been limited to the noiseless case.

The investigation was conducted both analytically and experimentally. First, the dual differentiator version of the Klapper-Kratt detector was mathematically analyzed, assuming an unmodulated carrier plus additive Gaussian noise. This analysis was verified by assembling the detector and measuring its performance in the laboratory.

It was discovered that the Klapper-Kratt detector without limiter performs identically to the conventional limiter discriminator in the linear improvement region. When compared to …


The Use Of Natural Sorbents For The Treatment Of Industrial Sludge Leachate, Mung Shium Jack Sheih May 1979

The Use Of Natural Sorbents For The Treatment Of Industrial Sludge Leachate, Mung Shium Jack Sheih

Dissertations

A sorbent treatment process has been developed which uses natural clay soils and fly ashes as sorbents in the treatment of the hazardous contaminants of potential sludge leachate emanating from industrial landfills. Natural sorbents (i.e., vermiculite, illite, kaolinite, zeolite, acidic and basic fly ashes) were evaluated for the removal of specific cations, anions, and organics from leachates generated from three industrial sludges (i.e., calcium fluoride, metal finishing, and petroleum). The laboratory results indicate that, rather than a single sorbent, a combination of acidic and basic sorbents in a layered system is required to reduce for the measurable contaminants present in …


Signal Processing Techniques For Analysis Of Heart Sounds And Electrocardiograms, Alan D. Bernstein May 1979

Signal Processing Techniques For Analysis Of Heart Sounds And Electrocardiograms, Alan D. Bernstein

Dissertations

Audible heart sounds represent less than 5% of the vibrational energy associated with the cardiac cycle. In this study, experiments have been conducted to explore the feasibility of examining cardiac vibration by means of a single display encompassing the entire bandwidth of the oscillations and relating components at different frequencies. Zero-phase-shift digital filtering is shown to be required in producing such displays, which extend from a recognizable phonocardiogram at one frequency extreme to a recognizable apexcardiogram at the other. Certain features in mid-systole and early diastole, observed by means of this technique, appear not to have been previously described.

Synthesis Of Multiarea Grid Power Systems, Bharat C. Patel May 1979

Synthesis Of Multiarea Grid Power Systems, Bharat C. Patel

Dissertations

This dissertation presents improved development in the formation of a generalized transmission loss (B)-matrix for a multiarea grid power system. In the procedure, the individual tie powers of each area are replaced by the net interchange, sneak and circulating powers. The latter two variables are directly eliminated in the power reference frame using actual impedances, unlike current methods that require the elimination of sneak and circulating currents, the formation of complex tie current model and the complex tie power model. Consequently, manipulation of large complex current, power and impedance matrices is avoided reducing both computer time and memory requirement. Further, …

The Effects Of Selected Tax Reform And School Finance Proposals On The Equalizing Tendencies Of State Aid To Michigan Public School Districts, Dorothy R. Hildebrand Jan 1979

The Effects Of Selected Tax Reform And School Finance Proposals On The Equalizing Tendencies Of State Aid To Michigan Public School Districts, Dorothy R. Hildebrand

Dissertations

Problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects selected tax reform and school finance proposals would have on the equalizing tendencies of state aid to Michigan school districts. The study focused on nine finance revisions as follows: The Tisch proposal which would make 50 percent cuts in all real property values; the Siljander proposal which would make 60 percent cuts in the value of some classifications of real property; two variations of the Tisch and Siljander proposals which would specify even larger reductions in property values than the original proposals; two variations of the Siljander proposal which …
