The Design And Analysis Of An Electro-Pneumatic Signal Converter, Richard K. Thornton
Theses and Dissertations
In the field of process control it is desirable to study dynamic characteristics such as frequency response and distortion when determining just how equipment is to be controlled. Pneumatic controllers, transmitters, control valves, etc., all have dynamic behaviors which can be expressed mathematically as transfer functions. Each component plays an important role in determining the entire system behavior. Frequency response is one technique used in developing a component’s transfer function. By driving a device with a sinusoidal signal of fixed amplitude and frequency the output amplitude and phase shift are measured and compared with that of the input. Varying the …
Finite Conductance Element Method Of Conduction Heat Transfer, E. Clark Lemmon
Finite Conductance Element Method Of Conduction Heat Transfer, E. Clark Lemmon
Theses and Dissertations
One of the basic goals in engineering is to formulate models which will provide a means for analytically predicting observed phenomenon. For some time, the partial differential equations describing the steady state and transient conduction of heat within a solid have been available. However, the straight forward use of these equations is often restricted due to the surface geometry of the solid. If the surface geometry is at all irregular, exact solutions will in general not exist. In that case, a solution is sought by some approximate numerical technique. The two techniques most often used are the finite difference method …

A Computer Simulation Of A Partial Venous System Of A Human Lower Extremity, David C. Smith
A Computer Simulation Of A Partial Venous System Of A Human Lower Extremity, David C. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
The human body is truly a fascinating and complex creation of our Maker. Because of the complexity and variability, many of its workings were little known until recent years. Some of the more amazing facts of the circulatory system follow. If the individual blood vessels of a single adult, i.e., artery, arteriole capillary, venule and vein, were laid end to end, they would extend more than 60,000 miles. For the average adult, the heart beats 70 times per minute; for the well-conditioned athlete, 50-60 beats per minute; and for the extraordinary athlete, as few as 37 times per minute. The …

Conduction Error In Thermocouples Embedded In Low Conductivity Material, Tumkur G. Nagaraju
Conduction Error In Thermocouples Embedded In Low Conductivity Material, Tumkur G. Nagaraju
Theses and Dissertations
Thermocouples are generally used as devices to determine the internal temperature of any material. The purpose of the temperature measuring device is to measure the temperature which would exist at some known location if the device were not present. The thermocouples are embedded in the material in order to study the temperature-time history of the point of location. The presence of the thermocouple induces error in the temperature measured. This error becomes significant if heat is conducted into or away from the point of measurement by the sensor itself, or if the sensor insulates the point. This would result from …
The Design Of A Laser Doppler Velocimeter, Marlo R. Anderson
The Design Of A Laser Doppler Velocimeter, Marlo R. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
A relatively new method of measuring local velocity in a fluid stream has been devised which eliminates some of the inherent problems of the traditional methods. This method senses the Doppler shift of light scattered from a laser beam incident on particles suspended in the fluid. The Doppler shift is proportional to the particles (or fluid) velocity. This new technique has several distinct advantages over the more traditional methods of velocity measurement.
A Study Of The Effects Of Some Parameters Of The Galloping Of Electric Transmission Lines, Leland J. Coleman
A Study Of The Effects Of Some Parameters Of The Galloping Of Electric Transmission Lines, Leland J. Coleman
Theses and Dissertations
Freezing rainstorms coupled with moderate winds have often been observed to cause telephone lines and power transmission cables to begin bouncing up and down. This slow frequency high amplitude oscillation, or galloping as it is sometimes called, can build up to large amplitudes before the oscillation either damps out or persists at some constant amplitude. It has been reported by Edwards and Livingston [1] that the amplitude of galloping on transmission lines has been as large as forty feet. Galloping oscillations occur at relatively low frequencies; from .1 to 1 Hz. [1] near the natural frequency of the suspended cable.

An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Modal Damping Coefficients, Craig C. Smith
An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Modal Damping Coefficients, Craig C. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Although analytical techniques are generally available for the simulation of dynamic systems, often these techniques require a great deal of computer time and storage. This difficulty was vividly pointed out by a previous thesis undertaken in this Department by R. L. Webster (1). Mr. Webster undertook the determination of orthotropic material properties using dynamic response test data from plates. A major difficulty which was encountered was the enormous amount of computer time required for the simulation. This thesis is an investigation of a method which when fully developed, may provide the ability to simulate such systems much more efficiently.
