This thesis introduces the application of computer-aided engineering techniques to the dynamic analysis of reciprocating compressor designs. The analysis process is detailed in three steps. The first step, an interactive ...

A patient monitor device for use during open heart surgery has been designed and constructed. The device uses a VIC 20 microcomputer along with some additional circuitry to monitor 3 separate functions. The first patient ...

DACS is an interactive computer program for the IBM-PC that aids in the design and analysis of linear control systems. Written in compiled basic, DACS includes Root Locus, Bode plots, Nyquist diagrams, Nichols charts, ...

The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) is an operational system of radiometric instruments placed in Earth orbit by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Its purpose is to monitor those components ...

This study investigates an adaptive control scheme designed to maintain accurate motor speed control in spite of high-frequency periodic variations in load torque, load inertia, and motor parameters. The controller adapts, ...

"Compressible fluid dynamics of flow through plain-faced long orifices was investigated with the hope of gaining insight into the fluid dynamics of tip leakage flow. The Reynolds number range investigated was greater than ...

<p>The thesis presents a three dimensional shape optimization program which analyzes models made up of linear isoparametric elements. The goal of the program is to achieve a near uniform model stress state and thereby ...

<p>The purpose of this thesis is to develop a method to estimate local blade temperatures in a gas turbine for comparison with the output signal of an experimental pyrometer. The goal of the method is to provide a ...

<p>A data reduction method has been developed and tested for a high frequency angle probe. The angle probe is designed for unsteady aerodynamic measurements in transonic cryogenic wind tunnels. The probe measures ...

<p>Measurement of dynamic/transient torques is important in the dynamic analysis of rotating machinery as it provides insight into the internal state of the machine. Existing methods are difficult to implement, results ...
