Neptune: Un Logiciel Pour Les Écoulements De Rivière, Alexandre Martin, Marcelo Reggio, Jean-Yves Trépanier
Neptune: Un Logiciel Pour Les Écoulements De Rivière, Alexandre Martin, Marcelo Reggio, Jean-Yves Trépanier
Alexandre Martin
Une méthodologie de conception et d'analyse est développée pour la simulation des écoulements clans les rivières. La discrétisation des équations de base (Saint-Venant) est établie en fonction du schéma de Roe, développé à l'origine pour des écoulements compressibles non-visqueux. Le domaine est discrétisé en espace avec des triangles ou quadrilatères, clans un contexte de volume-finis, ce qui permet de représenter des géométries complexes. L'imposition des conditions frontières et initiales sont aussi décrites. Toutes les étapes préliminaires à la résolution du problème, ainsi que la visualisation de la solution sont gérées par la famille de logiciels PLANÈTES.
Optical Metrology Of Adaptive Membrane Mirrors, John W. Wagner
Optical Metrology Of Adaptive Membrane Mirrors, John W. Wagner
Theses and Dissertations
Current space-based imaging platforms are significantly constrained in both size and weight by the launch vehicle. Increased payload size and weight results in increased cost and a decrease in launch responsiveness. The USAF Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) identified "Large lightweight structures for optics and antennas" as a revolutionary primary technology to be developed for the Air Force of the 21st Century. A membrane primary mirror in a space-based imaging system has the ability to overcome current payload constraints and meet evolutionary needs of the future. The challenge of membrane optics in space is the process of implementing adaptive optics technology …
Finite Element Model Updating Using Antiresonant Frequencies, Keith W. Jones
Finite Element Model Updating Using Antiresonant Frequencies, Keith W. Jones
Theses and Dissertations
The applications of antiresonant frequencies to finite element (FE) model updating are few and usually limited to numerical examples. This work uses antiresonant frequencies in the model updating of an experimental structure and analyzes the physical correctness of the updated model by using it to detect damage. Antiresonant frequencies were used in the FE model updating of a six-meter aluminum truss. The model used rigid links to model welded and bolted joints. Rigid link dimensions were used as parameters in an iterative update based on eigenvalue and antiresonance sensitivities. The first update used 11 natural frequencies and 21 antiresonant frequencies …
A Comparative Analysis Of Cockpit Display Development Tools, Matthew J. Gebhardt
A Comparative Analysis Of Cockpit Display Development Tools, Matthew J. Gebhardt
Theses and Dissertations
Currently, no standard methodology exists that enables cockpit display engineers to evaluate software tools used in the development of graphical cockpit displays. Furthermore, little research has been accomplished in comparing current software development tools with traditional hand-coded methods, This research effort discusses a framework for analyzing cockpit display software development tools and follows through with a detailed analysis comparing today's hand-coding standard, OpenGL, with two of today's cockpit display software development suites, Virtual Application Prototyping System (VAPS) and Display Editor. The comparison exploits the analysis framework establishing the advantages and disadvantages of the three software development suites. The analysis framework …
Reflexive Autopoietic Dissipative Special Systems Theory, Kent D. Palmer
Reflexive Autopoietic Dissipative Special Systems Theory, Kent D. Palmer
Kent D. Palmer
A newly discovered approach to extending General Systems Theory as defined by George Klir through a set of Special Systems is described. General Systems Theory is distinguished from the theory of Meta-systems. Then, a hinge of three special systems is identified between systems and meta-systems. These special systems are defined by algebraic analogies. Anomalous physical phenomena are specified that exemplify the structures defined by the algebraic analogies. The extraordinary efficacious properties of these special systems are explained. These include ultra-efficiency and ultra-effectiveness. These three special systems are called dissipative, autopoietic, and reflexive. They are anomalous within general systems theory and …
