Cycle Time Estimation For Simulating A Tandem Queueing Systems Using Aggregation Techniques, Paul Savory, Gerald Mackulak

Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

One approach to simulating a single-server tandem queuing system is to explicitly model each of the production stages. In this paper, we apply queueing theory, a recursive algorithm, and composite random number sampling to develop an equivalent aggregate representation consisting of only a single production stage. Preliminary test results indicate that the aggregation works well for estimating the mean and variability of the total cycle time.

Grazing And Haying Effects On Runoff And Erosion From A Former Conservation Reserve Program Site, John E. Gilley, B. D. Patton, P. E. Nyren, J. R. Simanton

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Grazing and haying effects on runoff and erosion from a former Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) site near Streeter, North Dakota, were determined. Treatments included undisturbed CRP, twice-over rotational grazing, season-long grazing, haying, and burning. Runoff and erosion were measured from simulated rainfall which was applied to 3.7 x 10.7 m (12.0 X 35.1 ft) plots. Following an initial stabilization period, no significant difference in runoff or erosion was found between the season-long grazing and burned treatments. Use of the CRP site for grazing or haying resulted in a significant increase in runoff compared to leaving the area in an undisturbed …

Frequency Domain Image Analysis For Detecting Stress Cracks In Corn Kernels, Y. J. Han, Y. Feng, Curtis L. Weller

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

A corn kernel classification procedure was developed in the frequency domain using a two-dimensional Fourier Transform for inspection of stress cracks. Investigations were also conducted to define suitable conditions and optimum image resolution for viewing stress cracks in corn kernels using a computer vision system. A pre-processing procedure included contrast enhancement, edge enhancement, and kernel edge elimination to improve stress crack recognition. A Fast Fourier Transform algorithm was applied to the pre-processed images, and the transformation results were condensed into 33 feature signatures representing position or orientation invariant morphological features. A multivariate discriminant analysis and multiple regression analysis were used …

Heat Curing Of Soy Protein Films, A. Gennadios, V. M. Ghorpade, Curtis L. Weller, M. A. Hanna

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Modification of soy protein film properties by heat-curing was studied. Glycerin-plasticized films were cast from alkaline aqueous solutions of soy protein isolate. Films were heated at 80 or 95°C for 2, 6, 14, or 24 h. Tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (E), moisture content (MC), water solubility (WS), water vapor permeability (WVP), and color of heated and control films were measured. Heated films had increased TS and +b (yellowness) Hunter color values and reduced E, MC, WS, and WVP values. These effects were enhanced as heating time and temperature increased.

Metering Characteristics Accompanying Rate Changes Necessary For Precision Farming, A. Bahri, K. Von Bargen, Michael F. Kocher, L. L. Bashford

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Agricultural machines used in precision fanning must adjust application rates according to the needs of each cell within a field. Changing from an initial application rate to a new rate while the machine travels from one cell to another in the field is accompanied with some misapplication. The severity of this misapplication depends on the down-the-row delivery characteristics of the metering system and the magnitude of the rate change from cell to cell.

On-the-go rate change tests evaluated the down-the-row performance of an operator controlled metering system when increasing and decreasing wheat seeding rates by 10 and 20 kg/ha steps. …

Spatial Patterns Analysis Of Field Measured Soil Nitrate, Farida Shaukat Goderya, Mohamed F. Dahab, Wayne E. Woldt, Istvan Bogardi

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to assess the spatial variability of residual soil nitrate, measured in three contiguous 16 ha fields. Available data for residual soil nitrate were examined using conventional statistics. Data tended to be skewed with the mean greater than the median. Geostatistical methods were used to characterize and model the spatial structure. Three dimensional spatial variability was examined using two semivariograms: horizontal-spatial and vertical. Two dimensional horizontal-spatial semivariograms were also computed for each 0.3m (1ft) layer. Semivariogram analysis showed that there were similarities in the patterns of spatial variability for all fields. The results suggest that …

Surface-Related Breakdown In Silicon: Imaging Of Current Filaments In Long P+-N--N+ Structures, B. J. Hankla, P. F. Williams, G. A. Frecks, F. E. Peterkin

P. F. (Paul Frazer) Williams Publications

We present Schlieren images which show the existence and evolution of current filaments during the very early stages of surface-related breakdown inside 1 cm silicon p⁺-n^--n⁺ structures. These images confirm our previous finding that breakdown occurs in the silicon rather than in the ambient, and suggest that a streamerlike mechanism may be responsible.

Using Mathematica To Aid Simulation Analysis, Paul Savory

Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

As computer power has increased, so has the capability of software developers to write programs that assist people with time-consuming tasks. Mathematica is such a program. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how Mathematica, a symbolic programming environment, can be used to aid simulation analysis. In addition to a general discussion of Mathematica’s uses, advantages, and disadvantages, several examples will be presented. The examples include using Mathematica for distribution fitting, queueing analysis, random number generation, and creating a surface plot for optimization.

Ultrasonic Radiative Transfer In Polycrystalline Media: Effects Of A Fluid–Solid Interface, Joseph A. Turner, Richard L. Weaver

Department of Engineering Mechanics: Faculty Publications

In previous derivations of the ultrasonic radiative transfer equation (URTE) for the modeling of multiply scattered diffuse ultrasound in polycrystalline media, the boundary conditions appropriate to experiments performed in a water bath were not used. In the present work, this fluid–solid boundary condition is discussed as it applies to the URTE. An interpolation scheme is developed that is consistent with the discrete ordinates method used for the solution of the URTE. Steady-state and time-dependent results are presented for the solution of the URTE with a fluid–solid boundary condition. The steady-state results show that diffusive behavior is exhibited nearer the specimen …

Spectroscopic Ellipsometric Monitoring Of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Plasma Etching Of Gaas And Algaas, Paul G. Snyder, Natale J. Ianno, B. Wigert, S. Pittal, B. Johs, John A. Woollam

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

In situ real time spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements were made during electron cyclotron resonance plasma etching of radio frequency biased GaAs and AlGaAs samples. Gas mixtures used were CH₄/H₂/Ar, pure H₂ , and pure Ar. Ellipsometry provided information about damage to the surface region and AlGaAs epilayer thickness. For the methane mixture GaAs etch, damage appeared in the form of redshifted and broadened E₁ and E₁+ Δ₁ critical point features in a surface layer several tens of nm thick. The damage layer began forming within a few seconds after the start of …
