Violin Bow-Hand Prosthetic, Jonathan Smith, Jonathon Azziz, Shawn Pavey Dec 2019

Violin Bow-Hand Prosthetic, Jonathan Smith, Jonathon Azziz, Shawn Pavey

Mechanical Engineering Design Project Class

The violin bow hand prosthetic was designed for a young violin player seeking to upgrade the functionality of his current violin prosthetic device. His current device is rigid, forcing him to play mostly with his shoulder. Since the strength of his wrist was unknown, we designed a prosthetic with enough brace flexibility to enable the user to control the bow motion with his own wrist. We also added an axis of rotation and spring mechanism to supplement this motion and provide him the equivalence of fine finger adjustments. The full design process of the prosthetic is documented in this report, …


Schrödinger Evolution Of Superoscillations With Δ - And Δ′ -Potentials, Yakir Aharonov, Jussi Behrndt, Fabrizio Colombo, Peter Schlosser Dec 2019

Schrödinger Evolution Of Superoscillations With Δ - And Δ′ -Potentials, Yakir Aharonov, Jussi Behrndt, Fabrizio Colombo, Peter Schlosser

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In this paper, we study the time persistence of superoscillations as the initial data of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with δ- and δ′-potentials. It is shown that the sequence of solutions converges uniformly on compact sets, whenever the initial data converge in the topology of the entire function space A1(C). Convolution operators acting in this space are our main tool. In particular, a general result about the existence of such operators is proven. Moreover, we provide an explicit formula as well as the large time asymptotics for the time evolution of a plane wave under δ- and δ′-potentials.

A Modular Open-Source Pre-Processing Tool For Finite Element Simulations Of Additive Manufacturing Processes, William Furr

Theses and Dissertations

Additive manufacturing has shown the ability to produce highly complex geometries that are not easily manufactured through traditional means. However, the implications of building these complex geometries regarding thermal history requires more attention. AM process simulations have proven to be computationally expensive and require large amounts of pre-processing to execute. This thesis will start with a review of additive manufacturing along with current modeling efforts. Then, the development of a pre-processing tool for finite element simulations of these processes is presented. It is shown that the pre-processing tool significantly decreases the total time-to-simulation by removing manual steps. Finally, a study …

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Shape deformation is widely used in virtual reality, system simulation, computer animation and other graphics applications.

Simulation Of Vehicle Startup Delay At Green Light And Its Direct And Chain-Reaction Impact On Traffic Flow, Longxi Luo, Lijun Xie, Jianping Wu, Xu Ming

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: In current traffic simulations, it is implicitly assumed vehicles are driven by ideal drivers. Therefore, simulated vehicles make the most reasonable decisions such as moving out immediately when traffic lights turn green, resulting in a gap between simulations and real traffics. Research shows that drivers, including those who follow the rules, show a delay in starting-up their vehicles at the green light. The vehicle startup delay (SUD) is even more significant for drivers by things such as cell phones during waiting. However, the SUD has rarely been considered in simulations. The SUD is simulated to study its impacts on …
