Coordinate Metrology For Machine Tools, Brian Warren Nov 2003

Coordinate Metrology For Machine Tools, Brian Warren

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

This thesis is concerned with Coordinate Metrology for Machine Tools. The contributions of the thesis are of two criteria. First, by making use of techniques from available software to determine geometry characteristic performance of a Mazak Quick Turn 20 Slant-Bed Lathe, and we determine theory for categorizing typical lathe evaluation; second, we extend this powerful geometric process to verification formulation of the error estimates by utilizing coordinate metrology notations contained in Brown & Sharpe's "Coordinate Metrology" standards and develop evaluation techniques for verifying machine tool path error estimation based on important observations that machined part features have a deviation from …

Design Of A Louisiana Interstate System, Joseph Cains Iii

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

The need for a transportation system in the United States, as well as the entire world, has long been a key factor for the high-level, fast paced society we know today. The desire to explore and expand territory and influence spawning from curiosity and instinctive nature of man has played a large role in the many eras of invention and progress, bringing a once primitive existence to the significantly advanced modern life in which we live. From the stone wheel to the metal wings of a plane, our intellectual advancement has progressed significantly, and over the years the demand for …


Design Of A Pedestrian Bridge System Across Lake Kernan At Southern University, Symoane A. Mizell May 2003

Design Of A Pedestrian Bridge System Across Lake Kernan At Southern University, Symoane A. Mizell

Electronic Dissertations and Theses

Bridges are of the oldest structural challenges that engineers have encountered, they typify progress more than any other structures built by man. Throughout the course of history, bridges have provided dual purposes of serving as adjuncts between land bodies and also of acting as aesthetic marks of beauty. The idea that the addition of a bridge and other aesthetic structures across the lake would help cure some of Lake Kernan' s ills is the motivation for this design project and this thesis. This design project is a valuable lesson for the members of this design group. The project encompasses many …
