Design of a microcomputer-based open heart surgery patient monitor
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
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: an interactive computer program to aid in the design and analysis of linear control systems
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
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, ...
Oxygen transfer in recirculating flow
(Virginia Tech, 1985-01-15)
<p>An experimental investigation was done on oxygen transfer into a
laminar flow of whole blood and saline solutions downstream of an abrupt pipe expansion. This was used as the experimental model for regions of
separated ...
An experimental analysis of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the monoform: a novel hull form
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
This thesis presents the results of an experimental investigation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of the Monoform hull in calm water. The forces acting on a 1.7 meter model were measured as the model was held captive ...
Acoustical behavior of a turbulent, ducted, premixed, hydrogen- flame burner
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
The acoustic source structure, acoustic farfield, and duct terminating impedances fully describe the acoustics of a source within a duct. A main goal in the study of noise generated by turbulent combustion is to characterize ...
Heat transfer from in-line and perpendicular arrangements of cylinders in steady and pulsating crossflow
(Virginia Tech, 1985-09-15)
<p>An investigation was conducted to determine the effect of organized
flow pulsations on mean heat transfer from a single cylinder, in-line
arrangements and perpendicular arrangements of cylinders. Pulsation
frequencies ...
Prolog implementation in robot kinematics
(Virginia Tech, 1985-08-05)
<p>The purpose of this study is to implement the advantages
of the relatively new field of expert systems to robot
kinematics. The research presented in this thesis illustrates
the progress in combining the two fields. ...
CSADP, a classical control system analysis and design package
(Virginia Tech, 1985-12-15)
<p>The Control System Analysis and Design Package (CSADP) is a computer-aided
design package for applying classical control system analysis and design tools to
experimental frequency response measurements. CSADP allows ...
Plane frame element addition to the MESS finite element program
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1985)
A plane frame element based on linear, elastic theory is developed and implemented into the MESS finite element program. Post-processed results include nodal displacements, end reactions, maximum tensile and average shear ...
Mass flow and temperature measurements in the flue of a woodburning appliance
(Virginia Tech, 1985-02-04)
The use of wood stoves for residential heating has been increasing over the past several years. This increased use of wood stoves has caused significant concern about increased air pollution. Development of improved emissions ...
