An adjustable-ratio flow dividing hydraulic valve
Wiens, Travis Kent (2004-08-30)This thesis proposes a new type of hydraulic valve: an adjustable-ratio flow divider. This valve attempts to split one input flow into two output flows in a predetermined ratio, independent of load pressure or total flow. ... -
Damping interarea and torsional oscillations using FACTS devices
Eldamaty, Amr (2005-05-05)A problem of interest in the power industry is the mitigation of interarea and torsional oscillations. Interarea oscillations are due to the dynamics of interarea power transfer and often exhibit poor damping when the ... -
Effective finite element modelling of micro-positioning systems
Zettl, Benjamin Arthur (2003-12-04)The goal of this thesis is to develop an efficient finite element model of a particular micro-positioning(MP) system, known as the 3RRR Mechanism. MP systems are capable of delivering accurate and controllable motion in ... -
Fault detection in the electrohydraulic actuator using Extended Kalman Filter
Chinniah, Yuvin Adnarain (2004-03)In this thesis a fault detection technique for a high performance hydrostatic actuation system was developed and evaluated. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) was used for parameter identification and was applied to an ... -
Fuzzy control of the electrohydraulic actuator
Sampson, Eric Bowyer (2005-05-20)Industrial applications increasingly require actuators that offer a combination of high force output, large stroke and high accuracy. The ElectroHydraulic Actuator (EHA) was designed by Drs. Habibi and Goldenberg originally ... -
A Fuzzy-Kalman filtering strategy for state estimation
Han, Lee-Ryeok (2004-06-14)This thesis considers the combination of Fuzzy logic and Kalman Filtering that have traditionally been considered to be radically different. The former is considered heuristic and the latter statistical. In this thesis a ... -
Improving performance of an energy efficient hydraulic circuit
Shang, Tonglin (2004-04-19)Hydraulic circuits with fast dynamic response are often characterized by low power efficiency; on the other hand, energy-efficient circuits under certain circumstances, can demonstrate slow transient responses. Continuously ... -
Integrated control and estimation based on sliding mode control applied to electrohydraulic actuator
Wang, Shu (2007-02-28)Many problems in tracking control have been identified over the years, such as the availability of systems states, the presence of noise and system uncertainties, and speed of response, just to name a few. This thesis is ... -
Leak detection in pipelines using the extended kalman filter and the extended boundary approach
Doney, Kurtis (2007-10-10)A model based algorithm of pipeline flow is developed and tested to determine if the model is capable of detecting a leak in a pipeline. The overall objective of this research is to determine the feasibility of applying ... -
Modeling and experimental evaluation of a load-sensing and pressure compensated hydraulic system
Wu, Duqiang (2003-12-01)Heavy load equipment, such as tractors, shovels, cranes, airplanes, etc, often employ fluid power (i.e. hydraulic) systems to control their loads by way of valve adjustment in a pump-valve control configuration. Most of ... -
Modeling and off-line control of fluid dispensing for electronics packaging
Chen, Daniel Xiongbiao (2002)Fluid dispensing is a method by which fluid materials are delivered to substrates, boards or work-pieces in a controllable manner. This method has been widely used in various packaging processes in the electronics ... -
A novel approach to computer-aided configuration design based on constraint satisfaction paradigm
Li, Jingxin (2005-02-24)The trend in today’s manufacturing industry is changing from mass production to mass customization. The companies which win the markets are those which can deliver highly customized products at the fastest rate and allow ... -
A structural health monitoring system for composite pressure vessels
Lung, Bryan C. (2005-03-31)Vehicles that run on compressed natural gas and hydrogen are currently being developed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and smog. To meet the need for a safe, reliable fuel storage system, a low-cost, acoustic-ultrasonic ... -
Towards a new approach for enterprise integration : the semantic modeling approach
Radhakrishnan, Ranga Prasad (2003-05-10)Manufacturing today has become a matter of the effective and efficient application of information technology and knowledge engineering. Manufacturing firms’ success depends to a great extent on information technology, which ... -
Uncertainty analysis of a particle tracking algorithm developed for super-resolution particle image velocimetry
Joseph, Sujith (2003-05-26)Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a powerful technique to measure the velocity at many points in a flow simultaneously by performing correlation analysis on images of particles being transported by the flow. These images ... -
Water transmission line leak detection using extended kalman filtering
Lesyshen, Ryan M (2005-03-21)A model-based estimation process is implemented in simulation of a water transmission line for the purpose of leak detection. The objective of this thesis is aimed at determining, through simulation results, the effectiveness ...
