Pulsed Em Field Response Of A Thin, High-Contrast, Finely Layered Structure With Dielectric And Conductive Properties, Adrianus T. De Hoop, Lijun Jiang Aug 2009

Pulsed Em Field Response Of A Thin, High-Contrast, Finely Layered Structure With Dielectric And Conductive Properties, Adrianus T. De Hoop, Lijun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The response of a thin, high-contrast, finely layered structure with dielectric and conductive properties to an incident, pulsed, electromagnetic field is investigated theoretically. The fine layering causes the standard spatial discretization techniques to solve Maxwell's equations numerically to be practically inapplicable. To overcome this difficulty, an approximate method is proposed that models the interaction of the layer with an incident electromagnetic field via a boundary condition that expresses the in-plane conduction and contrast electric polarization currents in terms of the exciting incident field by relating the jump in the tangential component of the magnetic field strength across the layer in …

On Tgo Creep And The Initiation Of A Class Of Fatigue Cracks In Thermal Barrier Coatings, Mercedes T. Hernandez, Anette M. Karlsson, Marion Bartsch

Mechanical Engineering Faculty Publications

The initiation of a class of fatigue cracks observed in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) subjected to thermal gradient mechanical fatigue testing is investigated. The coating system is based on a NiCoCrAlY bond coat and a partially yttria stabilized zirconia top coat. To explain the development of the cracks of interest, the thermo-mechanical response of the bond coat and the thermally grown oxide (TGO) is examined and quantified through finite element analyses. The models include non-linear and time-dependent behavior such as creep, TGO growth stress, and thermo-mechanical cyclic loading. The simulations suggest that stress-redistribution due to creep can lead to tensile …

Cyber Center Publications

Continuous “always-on” monitoring is beneficial for a number of applications, but potentially imposes a high load in terms of communication, storage and power consumption when a large number of variables need to be monitored. We introduce two new filtering techniques, swing filters and slide filters, that represent within a prescribed precision a time-varying numerical signal by a piecewise linear function, consisting of connected line segments for swing filters and (mostly) disconnected line segments for slide filters. We demonstrate the effectiveness of swing and slide filters in terms of their compression power by applying them to a reallife data set plus …

Learning Without Default: A Study Of One-Class Classification And The Low-Default Portfolio Problem, Kenneth Kennedy, Brian Mac Namee, Sarah Jane Delany

Conference papers

This paper asks at what level of class imbalance one-class classifiers outperform two-class classifiers in credit scoring problems in which class imbalance, referred to as the low-default portfolio problem, is a serious issue. The question is answered by comparing the performance of a variety of one-class and two-class classifiers on a selection of credit scoring datasets as the class imbalance is manipulated. We also include random oversampling as this is one of the most common approaches to addressing class imbalance. This study analyses the suitability and performance of recognised two-class classifiers and one-class classifiers. Based on our study we conclude …

Self-Supporting Nanowire Arrays Templated In Sacrificial Branched Porous Anodic Alumina For Thermoelectric Devices, Kalapi G. Biswas, Hatem El Matbouly, Vijay Rawat, Jeremy L. Schroeder, Timothy D. Sands Aug 2009

Self-Supporting Nanowire Arrays Templated In Sacrificial Branched Porous Anodic Alumina For Thermoelectric Devices, Kalapi G. Biswas, Hatem El Matbouly, Vijay Rawat, Jeremy L. Schroeder, Timothy D. Sands

Birck and NCN Publications

Templated synthesis of thermoelectric nanowires in porous anodic alumina (PAA) have potential for enhanced performance relative to bulk materials. A significant challenge is the template material, which can serve as a thermal shunt. In this work, an approach for creating a branched PAA template is described. The process utilizes localized self-heating to destabilize the planar anodization front, yielding branched and interconnected pores growing at a rate of 300 mu m/h. The template is selectively etched after electrodeposition of desired materials, yielding self-supporting nanowire arrays with thicknesses up to about 300 mu m, thereby eliminating the thermal shunt through the template.

Application Of Ict - I: A Framework For Finding Minimal Test Vectors For Stuck-At-Faults, Azam Beg, S.K. Hasnain

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

This paper presents a framework that utilizes Boolean difference theory to find test vectors for stuck-at-fault detection. The framework reads in structural-style Verilog models, and automatically injects single stuck-at-faults (either stuck-at-zero or stuck-at-one) into the models. The simulations are then performed to find minimal sets of test vectors. Using this setup, we conducted experiments on more than 4000 different circuits. The results show that an appreciable savings in test time and effort can be achieved using the method. The same setup can also be used for didactic purposes, specifically for digital design and test courses.

Networks - I: Networks-On-Chip: Challenges, Trends And Mechanisms For Enhancements, Omer Tayan

International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies

The rate of increase of silicon capacity in integrated circuits (IC) will enable system integration of several billion transistors to reside on a single chip in the near future. Future system-on-chip (SoC) systems must therefore integrate up to several hundreds of cores within a single chip, and SoC designs will employ on-chip communication networks (NoCs) as a result. This paper discusses the problems with many current SoC systems, surveys the challenges and trends facing future SoC designs and proposes a mechanism for enhancing NoC strategies of the future by enhancing memory management and utilization techniques within an NoC.
