Retrieval Of Infotainment System Artifacts From Vehicles Using Ive, Celia J. Whelan, John Sammons, Brian Mcmanus, Terry W. Fenger Jul 2018

Retrieval Of Infotainment System Artifacts From Vehicles Using Ive, Celia J. Whelan, John Sammons, Brian Mcmanus, Terry W. Fenger

Journal of Applied Digital Evidence

The analysis of mobile devices and hard drives has been the focus of the digital forensics world for years, but there is another source of potential evidence not often considered: vehicles. Many of today’s “connected cars” have systems that function like computers, storing information they process including user data from devices synced to the system. There has been little to no research done regarding what types of user artifacts can be found on the system, how long these artifacts remain, whether or not the user can remove those artifacts, and whether certain systems provide more information than others. For this …


Formalizing Schoenberg’S Fundamentals Of Musical Composition Through Petri Nets, A. Baratè, G. Haus, L. A. Ludovico, Davide Andrea Mauro Jul 2018

Formalizing Schoenberg’S Fundamentals Of Musical Composition Through Petri Nets, A. Baratè, G. Haus, L. A. Ludovico, Davide Andrea Mauro

Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering Faculty Research

The formalization of musical composition rules is a topic that has been studied for a long time. It can lead to a better understanding of the underlying processes, and provide a useful tool for musicologist to aid and speed up the analysis process. In our attempt we introduce Schoenberg’s rules from Fundamentals of Musical Composition using a specialized version of Petri nets, called Music Petri nets. Petri nets are a formal tool for studying systems that are concurrent, asynchronous, distributed, parallel, nondeterministic, and/or stochastic. We present some examples highlighting how multiple approaches to the analysis task can find counterparts in …


Improved Embedded Atom Method Potentials For Metal Hydride Systems, Robert Fuller Jan 2018

Improved Embedded Atom Method Potentials For Metal Hydride Systems, Robert Fuller

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Metal hydride systems are an important research topic in materials science because of their many practical, industrial, and scientific applications. Therefore, the development of reliable and efficient interatomic potentials for metal hydrides systems, to be utilized in molecular simulations, can be of great value in accelerating the research in this field. In this research, fully analytical interatomic Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potentials are developed for the PdAgH system. Ab initio simulations were performed to obtain the properties of selected PdAgH structures for fitting. The potentials are fit utilizing the central atom method without employing time-consuming molecular dynamics simulations in the …


Design And Simulation Of A Pneumatic Actuator Bending Soft Robotics Based On 3d Printing, Chenyu Zheng Jan 2018

Design And Simulation Of A Pneumatic Actuator Bending Soft Robotics Based On 3d Printing, Chenyu Zheng

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Robots mechatronic devices are able to replicate human actions, especially in dangerous environments and in manufacturing. Recently, the development of robotics has been inspired by bionics. The advanced robotics allow advanced robots to be used in new environments where they were not traditionally applicable, such as narrow and small spaces. Compared to traditional rigid robots, soft robots are made by deformable materials and possess high dexterity and adaptivity in harsh working environments. Traditional soft robots are made by casting. The method implies that the molds of soft robots should be designed and printed by a 3D printer first, before casting. …
