Show moreThe ultimate goal of the Zero Energy Lab is to get the fourth level of machinery hall off the electrical grid. The IPRO is moving towards transforming the space into a research space for future energy and lighting technologies. Since the end goals of the Zero Energy Lab are ambitious for one semester we are proposing to address solar hot water, a golf cart used as a mobile battery bank, and window efficiency this semester. We are also hoping to learn some tuck-pointing techniques to make the space more presentable. We would like for the team to learn new things about the technologies we are researching and using. We hope to have a good hands-on experience with energy efficiency and green technologies. The team is a collaboration of students from various majors including architecture, political science, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and biophysics. Together we believe we will be able to create a cohesive end product and work well together along the way.

Show moreA method for estimating the severity of generator unit outage and multi-terminal branch outage contingencies with respect to voltage collapse in large-scale electric power systems which includes the steps of estimating a post-contingency saddle-node bifurcation induced voltage collapse point of an electric power system following a set of generator unit outages and/or a set of branch outages and calculating a distance to collapse of said power system. The post-contingency voltage collapse point is determined by application of a nonlinear contingency screening method.

Show moreHigh speed deformation events such as caused by projectile penetration, fragment impact and shock/blast loading are of great importance in designing materials and structures for army applications. In these events, materials are subjected to large strains, high strain rates and rapid increase in temperature due to thermoplastic heating. In such severe conditions, overall performance is determined by the evolution of flow stress, failure initiation and propagation, and commonly in the form of adiabatic shear banding. Some of 2XXX series aluminum-copper (Al-Cu) alloys are recognized for their decent ballistic properties, and therefore they have been used as an armor material for lightweight U.S. Army vehicles. Most recently, an Al-Cu-Mg-Mn-Ag alloy labeled as Al 2139-T8 has been developed and is evaluated by the U.S. Army Research Labs. because of its better ballistic properties and higher strength than its predecessors. The underlying microstructure is believed to be the key element for this superior performance. The goal of this study is to explore the effect of composition and microstructural features on overall dynamic material behavior by examining mechanical and deformation behavior of different Al-Cu material systems. Starting from the pure single crystal and polycrystalline Al structures, and adding a different element to chemical composition in each step (i.e., Cu, Mg, Mn, Ag), mechanical response of these different systems has been investigated. For all alloy systems with the exception of single crystal Al, mechanical tests have been performed at room and elevated temperatures covering quasi-static ( to ) and dynamic ( to strain rate regimes. xiv Shear-compression specimens promoting localized shear deformation have been used to explore tendency of each one of these materials to failure by adiabatic shear banding. In addition to phenomenological Johnson-Cook Model (JCM), physics based Zerrilli-Armstrong and Mechanical Threshold Models have been studied to model the constitutive response of Al-Cu alloys over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures.. An improved ZA model has been developed to better capture the trends in experimental data.

Title: VIBRATIONAL CONTROL OF AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION IN A CSTR - THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS

Show moreVibrational control is a method for modification of dynamic properties of linear and nonlinear systems by introducing fast, zero-average oscillations in the system's parameters. In this paper, forced oscillations introduced in the input flow rates of an exothermic continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) are shown to result in a modification of the S-shaped steady state curve. This modification leads to a possibility of operating a CSTR at an asymptotically stable period regime located in the vicinity of an unstable steady state of the reactor system with stationary input flow rates. Thus, vibrations of the input flow rates can be viewed as a stabilizing mechanism for exothermic CSTR's.

Title: QUALITY-OF-SERVICE AWARE SCHEDULING AND DEFECT TOLERANCE IN REAL-TIME EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
Creator: Li, Zheng

Description: For real-time embedded systems, such as control systems used in medical, automotive and avionics industry, tasks deployed on such systems...
Show moreFor real-time embedded systems, such as control systems used in medical, automotive and avionics industry, tasks deployed on such systems often have stringent real-time, reliability and energy consumption constraints. How to schedule real-time tasks under various QoS constraints is a challenging issue that has drawn attention from the research community for decades. In this thesis, we study task execution strategies that not only minimize system energy consumption but also guarantee task deadlines and reliability satisfaction. We first consider the scenario when all tasks are of the same criticality. For this case, two task execution strategies, i.e. checkpointing based and task re-execution based strategies are developed. Second, considering the scenario when tasks are of different criticalities, a heuristic search based energy minimization strategy is also proposed. When tasks are of different criticalities, a commonly used approach to guaranteeing high-criticality task deadlines is to remove low-criticality tasks whenever the system is overloaded. With such an approach, the QoS provided to low-criticality tasks is rather poor, it can cause low-criticality tasks to have high deadline miss rate and less accumulated execution time. To overcome this shortcoming, we develop a time reservation based scheduling algorithm and a two-step optimization algorithm to meet high-criticality task deadlines, while minimizing low-criticality task deadline miss rate and maximizing their accumulated execution time, respectively. As many-core techniques mature, many real-time embedded systems are built upon many-core platforms. However, many-core platforms have high wear-out failure rate. Hence, the last issue to be addressed in the thesis is how to replace defective cores on many-core platforms so that deployed applications’ real-time properties can be maintained. We develop an offline and an online application-aware system reconfiguration strategy to minimize the impact of the physical layer changes on deployed real-time applications. All the developed approaches are evaluated through extensive simulations. The results indicate that the developed approaches are more effective in addressing the identified problems compared to the existing ones in the literature.

Show moreCurrent web search engines only search unstructured data (web documents). A lot of data is available that is structured (weather, census, sports, etc.). A search engine that could search both structured data and text would be able to answer questions such as "show me the top three restaurants in Chicago" without simply looking for the word "three." The team has been building a Java-based metasearch engine in IPRO 334 duringFall 2000. Numerous issues have arisen. How do we identify which data source will be best for the query? What is the best user interface for the system? For Spring 2001, the team will extend the search engine to include more sources. The team could really use the talents of non-computer science students to help test the system and improve the user interface. Students should plan to work on this at least ten hours a week - anything less will resultin a poor grade for the IPRO. Students for this IPRO are graded heavily based on the success of the team, not just individual performance. Weekly progress reports are required. Note that graduate students in Computer Science are not able to use IPRO classes for credit toward a graduate degree.
