Development Of A Geothermal Heat Pump Test Facility, Chris Collins Jan 1998

Development Of A Geothermal Heat Pump Test Facility, Chris Collins

Theses

Current environmental concerns have led to large scale research and development in the area of alternative energy supplies. The alternative energy system of interest in this study is the heat pump. Heat pumps extract heat from a variety of sources such as air, water and the earth, upgrade and transmit it to the required location. The aim of this thesis is to develop mathematical and experimental models to evaluate the performance of a heat pump which uses the earth as its thermal source. These models will then form the basis of design aids for installers sizing closed loop collection systems …

Statistical Analysis Of Structural Response Via A Quadratic Regression Model, Mahesh Balasubramanian Jan 1998

Statistical Analysis Of Structural Response Via A Quadratic Regression Model, Mahesh Balasubramanian

Masters Theses

"Described herein is the development of an efficient capability to analyze the statistics of structural responses given a description of the statistics of the input, or design, variables. In the application of interest, inputs and outputs are related through a very large finite element model. The finite element model is approximated here by a second-order hyper-surface. Developed for the quadratic relationship are expressions for response means, standard deviations and correlation coefficients. The analysis allows correlated and uncorrelated input variables, and admissible input variable distributions are normal, log-normal and Weibull.

In addition to characterizations of response means, standard deviations and correlation …

Placement Of Piezoelectric Actuators For Active Control Of Vibration Using Modal Parameters, Xuegeng Zhu Jan 1998

Placement Of Piezoelectric Actuators For Active Control Of Vibration Using Modal Parameters, Xuegeng Zhu

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations

An equation is derived to model the piezoelectric actuators incorporation with flexible structures. This equation permits the comparison of the performance indices over the entire structure for a piezoelectric actuator with constant area, which is unachievable if the Finite Element Method is used for complicated structures.

An index has been developed for placement of piezoelectric actuator for control of vibration of a flexible structure. This index is derived from the definition of H2norm. Computation of the proposed index requires only the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the structures of interest. The method is well suited to large …


The Effect Of A Baffle On Acoustic Radiation Directivity, Walter Eversman, Indranil Danda Roy Jan 1998

The Effect Of A Baffle On Acoustic Radiation Directivity, Walter Eversman, Indranil Danda Roy

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

An investigation is made of the effect of an artificial baffle introduced in Finite Element modeling of acoustic radiation from turbofan inlets. The purpose of the baffle is to limit the extent of the computational domain in order to maximize the efficiency of the scheme. However, the possibility exists that the baffle, if improperly oriented, will generate spurious reflections which interfere with the true radiated acoustic field. A generic example of a turbofan inlet, including typical geometry and non-uniform potential flow in and around the nacelle, is modeled with a baffle as typically introduced limiting the angular extent of the …


Aerodynamic Interference For Hypersonic Missiles At Low Angle Of Attack, Harlan F. Nelson, Derek G. Hillstrom Jan 1998

Aerodynamic Interference For Hypersonic Missiles At Low Angle Of Attack, Harlan F. Nelson, Derek G. Hillstrom

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A Euler code is used to predict the flow field over a hypersonic missile and to determine the carryover factors KW(B), fin lift in the presence of the body, and KB(W), lift produced by the body in the presence of the fins. The missile is assumed to have cruciform, delta fins in the + orientation and an aspect ratio of 1.529. Results are presented as a function of fin span at Mach 6, 8, and 10, for a 2-deg angle of attack. Two ratios of specific heats, 1.4 and 1.3, are considered to partially account for vibrational excitation effects. Both …


An Integrated Approach To Determining The Sequence Of Machining Operations For Prismatic Parts With Interacting Features, Alan C. Lin, Shou Yee Lin, Das Diganta, Wen F. Lu Jan 1998

An Integrated Approach To Determining The Sequence Of Machining Operations For Prismatic Parts With Interacting Features, Alan C. Lin, Shou Yee Lin, Das Diganta, Wen F. Lu

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper proposed a framework for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and mechanistic models in the task of generating process plans for prismatic parts. The main issue of process planning addressed in this paper is the determination of the operation sequence for mechanical parts containing interacting features where machining of one feature might adversely affect the surface quality of other features. The informed graph-search strategy in AI is used to achieve the function of operation sequence planning. The search graph is built by considering alternative machining operations in converting a blank stock into the final part configuration. Several heuristic functions …
