Spacing Of Connections In Compression Elements For Cold-Formed Steel Members (Beams), Michael L. Jones, Roger A. Laboube, Wei-Wen Yu
CCFSS Library (1939 - present)
PREFACE The spacing of connectors in compression elements of built-up flexural members was evaluated both experimentally and analytically at the University ofMissouri-Rolla (UMR) under the sponsorship of the American Iron and Steel Institute. A computational model was developed for determining the bending capacity of single-fluted sections with cover plates that do not have edge stiffeners. The results of the investigation are presented and recommendations are made for design of single-flute cross sections having cover plates without edge stiffeners. Previous research developments by Yener, at Purdue University, and Luttrell, at the University of West Virginia, were compared to the UMR experimental …

A milled carbon fiber reinforced polymer having increased abrasion resistive characteristics. The reinforced polymer comprises a base resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefins and polyamides. The base resin is combined with an amount of milled carbon fibers and further may be combined with polytetrafluoroethylene. The resulting composite materials have excellent friction and wear characteristics and are useful in the production of injection molded parts. The molded parts have a high impact strength, exhibit dimensional stability, are abrasion resistive, and are static dissipative, with the composite materials having particular utility as support fixtures for semiconductors during certain processing operations.

Radiation Imaging Operators Applied To The Detection Of Velocity And Density Contrast Boundaries, Md. Ishfaqur Raza, Richard E. Dubroff, James L. Drewniak
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A procedure for imaging interfaces formed by simultaneous density and velocity contrasts in acoustic media is described. The procedure is based on the properties of radiation imaging operators - a class of linear differential operators parametrically dependent on the acoustic properties of the media. An example of this procedure is demonstrated through the use of numerical simulation. Results, in the form of interface images, are shown, assuming the bulk acoustic characteristics (velocity and density) on both sides of the interface are known.
A Hybrid Fem/Mom Technique For Electromagnetic Scattering And Radiation From Dielectric Objects With Attached Wires, Mohammad Wares Ali, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak
A Hybrid Fem/Mom Technique For Electromagnetic Scattering And Radiation From Dielectric Objects With Attached Wires, Mohammad Wares Ali, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A hybrid formulation is presented, which combines the method of moments (MOM) with the edge-based vector finite element method (FEM) to solve electromagnetic radiation problems from structures consisting of an inhomogeneous dielectric body of arbitrary shape attached to one or more perfectly conducting bodies. While either method alone fails to model these structures efficiently, a combination of both finite element and moment methods provides an excellent way to solve these problems. The FEM is employed to handle the interior domain of inhomogeneous dielectric bodies and the method of moments is used to develop surface integrals that relate the field quantities …

Modeling Of Surface Hairline-Crack Detection In Metals Under Coatings Using An Open-Ended Rectangular Waveguide, Christian J. Huber, Habibollah Abiri, Stoyan I. Ganchev, R. Zoughi
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A surface-breaking hairline crack or a narrow slot in a metallic specimen when scanned by an open-ended rectangular waveguide probe influences the reflection-coefficient properties of the incident dominant mode. Subsequent recording of a change in the standing-wave pattern while scanning such a surface results in what is known as the crack characteristic signal. Since microwave signals penetrate inside dielectric materials, this methodology is capable of detecting cracks under dielectric coatings of various electrical thicknesses as well. To electromagnetically model the interaction of an open-ended rectangular waveguide with a surface-breaking hairline crack under a dielectric coating, the dielectric-coating layer is modeled …

An Experimental Procedure For Characterizing Interconnects To The Dc Power Bus On A Multilayer Printed Circuit Board, Hao Shi, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, Fei Sha
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The effectiveness of dc power-bus decoupling is impacted by the inductance associated with interconnect vias in printed circuit boards (PCB's). Adequate characterization of these interconnects is necessary to facilitate modeling and simulation, and to assess the effectiveness of added decoupling. In this study, a measurement procedure is presented for determining the series inductance and resistance of an interconnect with a network analyzer. The validity and limitations of the procedure are discussed. Experimental results of interconnect parameters on an 8 × 10 in ten-layer test-board corroborate those measured with a precision impedance analyzer. The measured interconnect values are used to simulate …

Increased Radiative Lifetime Of Rare Earth-Doped Zinc Oxyhalide Tellurite Glasses, David L. Sidebottom, Michael A. Hruschka, B. G. Potter, Richard K. Brow
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
We have investigated the structural and optical properties of rare earth-doped zinc tellurite glasses modified by the substitution of ZnF2. Raman and phonon sideband spectroscopies were employed to characterize changes in the glass structure as well as to probe vibrational behavior in the immediate vicinity of the rare earth ion. These measurements are combined with photoluminescence and optical absorption to monitor the effect of halide substitution upon the optical behavior of the rare earth dopant. A substantial increase in the intrinsic radiative lifetime of Nd3+ is observed with increasing halide concentration.
Design And Implementation Of Digital Controllers For Smart Structures Using Field Programmable Gate Arrays, Jamie S. Kelly, Vittal S. Rao, Hardy J. Pottinger, H. Clifford Bowman
Design And Implementation Of Digital Controllers For Smart Structures Using Field Programmable Gate Arrays, Jamie S. Kelly, Vittal S. Rao, Hardy J. Pottinger, H. Clifford Bowman
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Implementation issues represent an unfamiliar challenge to most control engineers, and many techniques for controller design ignore these issues outright. Consequently, the design of controlled for smart structural systems usually proceeds without regard for their eventual implementation, thus resulting either in serious performance degradation or in hardware requirements that squander power, complicate integration, and drive up cost the level of integration assumed by the smart patch further exacerbates these difficulties, and any design inefficiency may render the realization of a single-package sensor-controller-actuator system infeasible. The goal of this research is to automate the controller implementation process and to relieve the …

Adaptive Critic Designs, Danil V. Prokhorov, Donald C. Wunsch
Adaptive Critic Designs, Danil V. Prokhorov, Donald C. Wunsch
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
We discuss a variety of adaptive critic designs (ACDs) for neurocontrol. These are suitable for learning in noisy, nonlinear, and nonstationary environments. They have common roots as generalizations of dynamic programming for neural reinforcement learning approaches. Our discussion of these origins leads to an explanation of three design families: heuristic dynamic programming, dual heuristic programming, and globalized dual heuristic programming (GDHP). The main emphasis is on DHP and GDHP as advanced ACDs. We suggest two new modifications of the original GDHP design that are currently the only working implementations of GDHP. They promise to be useful for many engineering applications …
A Parallel Genetic-Neuro Scheduler For Job-Shop Scheduling Problems, H. C. Lee, Cihan H. Dagli
A Parallel Genetic-Neuro Scheduler For Job-Shop Scheduling Problems, H. C. Lee, Cihan H. Dagli
Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Despite relentless efforts on developing new approaches, there are still large gaps between schedules generated through various planning systems, and schedules actually used in the shop floor environment. An effective schedule generation is a knowledge intensive activity requiring a comprehensive model of a factory and its environment at all times. There are four main difficulties that need to be addressed. First, job shop scheduling belongs to a class of NP-hard problems. Second, it is a highly constrained problem that changes from shop to shop. Third, scheduling decisions depend upon other decisions which are not isolated from other functions. Thus, it …

Emi From Apertures At Enclosure Cavity Mode Resonances, Min Li, Yun Ji, S. Radu, Joe Nuebel, Wei Cui, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren
Emi From Apertures At Enclosure Cavity Mode Resonances, Min Li, Yun Ji, S. Radu, Joe Nuebel, Wei Cui, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
EMI from slots and apertures resulting from coupling of interior sources through enclosure cavity modes in a Sun S-1000 workstation was investigated. The excitation of a specially designed rectangular enclosure with a slot was also studied experimentally and with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations. The radiated power results for both the S-1000 and simple rectangular enclosure indicate that radiation at cavity mode resonance frequencies through slots and apertures can be as significant as at aperture or slot resonances. A decrease of the radiation through the slots and apertures can be achieved by employing a lossy material in the enclosure.

Investigation Of Internal Partitioning In Metallic Enclosures For Emi Control, S. Radu, Min Li, Joe Nuebel, David M. Hockanson, Yun Ji, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
High clock frequencies and short-edge rates in present high-speed digital systems result in EMI problems at increasingly higher frequencies. At these speeds, clock harmonics have sufficient energy in the range above 500 MHz to excite cavity modes of a conducting enclosure, and to drive even small length slots and apertures that are unavoidable in a practical design, and can result in an EMI problem. One approach to mitigate these problems is to partition the enclosure into several smaller internal shielded compartments. To study the factors which affect this partitioning, a special enclosure that can be divided into two internal compartments …
An Expert System For Predicting Radiated Emi From Pcb's, Navin Kashyap, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren
An Expert System For Predicting Radiated Emi From Pcb's, Navin Kashyap, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper describes an expert systems approach, based on symbolic reasoning techniques, to the problem of predicting radiated EMI levels from printed circuit boards. The expert system, currently under development at the University of Missouri-Rolla, USA, starts by extracting board geometry information from the board layout files. This information is fed into the classification algorithm, which determines the signal properties and nature of each net, using the knowledge stored in the knowledge base. The evaluation algorithm uses the available in formation to identify and evaluate critical circuit geometries, and then estimates the effect that these geometries have on system radiation …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Simple design maxims to restrict slot dimensions in enclosure designs below a half-wave length are not always adequate for minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Complex interactions between cavity modes, sources, and slots can result in appreciable radiation through nonresonant length slots. The finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method can be employed to pursue these issues with adequate modeling of thin slots. Subcellular FDTD algorithms for modeling thin slots in conductors have previously been developed. One algorithm based on a quasistatic approximation has been shown to agree well with experimental results for thin slots in planes. This FDTD thin-slot algorithm is compared herein …

Investigation Of Split Groundplanes At The Connector For Emi Control, David M. Hockanson, James L. Drewniak, Joe Nuebel, James C. Parker Jr.
Investigation Of Split Groundplanes At The Connector For Emi Control, David M. Hockanson, James L. Drewniak, Joe Nuebel, James C. Parker Jr.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
EMI can often be reduced by selectively filtering various parts of a given system. One common method employed by designers is to split the groundplane near the chassis and route I/O lines over the split. The rationale is based on providing a large series impedance to common-mode currents on the I/O lines. In this manner, PCB designers hope to lower the level of noise currents contributing to radiation. This work studies the efficacy of the groundplane split as a deterrent for EMI associated with I/O lines being driven against other extended reference structures. A test-board was developed to analyze the …

Effects Of Gapped Groundplanes And Guard Traces On Radiated Emi, D. S. Britt, David M. Hockanson, Fei Sha, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Designers sometimes employ gapped reference planes to isolate analog and digital signals, and separate "quiet" and "noisy" ground structures by providing a series impedance. Guard traces are also used to reduce unwanted coupling to adjacent traces, which can lead to signal integrity or EMI problems. This study investigates the impact of gaps and guard traces on radiated EMI. A simple microstrip circuit was constructed to experimentally analyze the effects of groundplane gaps and guard traces.

Lumped-element sections are used for modeling coupling between high-speed digital and I/O lines on printed circuit boards (PCBs) in this paper. Radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) is investigated when the I/O line going off the board is driven as an unintentional, but effective antenna. Simulated results are compared with measurements for coupled lines. A suitable number of lumped-element sections for modeling is chosen based on the line length and the highest frequency of interest.

The ability of microorganisms to selectively adsorb various heavy metal ions has been recognized for over a decade. We have investigated the biosorption of lead by an active culture of the cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica. Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis was used to evaluate the different uptake mechanisms in the various subcellular regions. Three were identified; a very fast adsorption mechanism in the cell envelope; a time- dependent deposition reaction on the cell surface; and an adsorption mechanism, also time dependent, on the polyphosphate body inside the cell. Atomic absorption spectrometry was then used to quantify the changes with time of bulk …

To some people engineering management (EM) is a specialty within Industrial Engineering (IE), to others EM is broader than IE. Comparing the histories of the two disciplines shows a clear distinction. Both disciplines have their roots in the work of engineering pioneers at the turn of the century. Work in motion and time study, along with other efficiency driven techniques, was the beginning of IE. Both IE and EM can trace their roots to the era of scientific management and the work of the early pioneers. A noted change for IE occurred after World War II when many programs shifted …
