Experimental and numerical study on flow control using obliquely aligned elements.
(2010-06-23)
The use of micro-electromechanical system devices (MEMS) have been studied extensively in literature for control of flow separation and transitioning to turbulent flow. However, there is limited information about how ...
Damage accumulation of bovine bone under chaotic and variable amplitude loading.
(2018-11-19)
Stress fractures are a common occurrence that can be detrimental to an athlete’s
career. At present, there is no method for early detection of stress fractures. This study is
a continuation of the pilot study to determine ...
Can changing running shoes immediately reduce the risk of tibial stress fractures?
(2018-04-23)
Running is becoming a more popular sport worldwide however many runners suffer from tibial stress fractures (TSF). While there are various kinematic, kinetic, and anthropometric risk factors associated with TSF, it is ...
Circuit modeling and optimization techniques for next-generation radar.
(2018-04-24)
Spectral emission requirements for radar systems are becoming increasingly strict. Future radar systems will require well-designed, reconfigurable circuitry to coexist with the myriads of wireless devices using the spectrum. ...
Implementation of a Multi-Agent System in Java Agent Development Framework for a large-scale fossil-fuel electrical power unit control.
(, 2014-01-28)
With technology and a larger-than-ever population, the society demand for energy
has achieved records in the last few years. Currently, large-scale fossil fuel power plants, ranging in the hundreds of MW’s, produce most ...
Assessment of shaped film cooling holes at high density ratios for gas turbine cooling using S-PIV and PSP.
(2016-02-27)
During film-hole cooling, relatively cold air is extracted from the compressor of a gas turbine engine and forced through the turbine airfoils in order to lower their surface temperatures. To investigate the effects of ...
A neural inspired grid cell aid for robot intertial navigation.
(2018-05-08)
Accurate position information is needed for a robot's guidance and control systems. Therefore, the navigation system is foundational for a robot's interactions with the world. This thesis explores a biologically inspired ...
Characterizing hip motion during activities of daily living.
(2017-07-27)
In the United States alone, 332,000 people received a total hip replacement (THR) each year [1 – need to reattach ref]. Following a total hip arthroplasty, doctors get asked by their patients if they can still do particular ...
Convection from ice roughness surfaces using scaled Reynolds numbers for larger NACA 0012 airfoils.
(2018-04-24)
Ice accretions that develop on aircraft surfaces during flight adversely impact performance by increasing weight and drag, while also decreasing lift and stall margin. Previous studies at Baylor University characterized ...
Design and automated testing of PCI express interface of proton computed tomography detectors.
(2019-04-16)
Throughout this thesis, I will propose a transmit-received-engine based logic design proposed by this thesis works at the PCI Express Transaction Layer in collaboration with Xilinx 7 Series FPGAs Integrated Block for PCI ...
