Title: BOUNDING ESTIMATION INTEGRITY RISK FOR LINEAR SYSTEMS WITH STRUCTURED STOCHASTIC MODELING UNCERTAINTY

Show moreSafety critical estimation applications require quantification of integrity risk, which is the probability of the state estimate error exceeding predefined bounds of acceptability. Integrity risk can only be evaluated when the state estimate error probability density function is precisely known, necessitating stochastic models that exactly describe measurement noise and disturbance inputs. Uncertainty in these models directly results in inaccurate assessments of integrity risk. This dissertation develops the first implementable methods to upper bound integrity risk when the autocorrelation functions of stochastic inputs reside between upper and lower bounding functions. The first part of this work considers real-valued estimation applications that use the Kalman filter or batch weighted least squares estimator. Explicit relations are developed between the estimate error variance and autocorrelation functions using a new generalized covariance matrix derived in this dissertation. From these expressions, two methods are provided to upper bound integrity risk. The first method enables fast computation of a conservative bound, and the second method produces the minimum upper bound via semi-definite optimization. Mixed real/integer estimation applications utilizing integer bootstrapping are the focus of the second part of this work. The integrity risk bound is formally defined as the global solution to a non-convex optimization problem over a polytope. Determination of the polytopic region is difficult, and two bounding approaches are initially developed for a circumscribing hyper-rectangular feasible region. Using an innovative method to define the polytope together with linear programming, a third method is derived to upper bound integrity risk over the true polytopic feasible region.

Show moreThe goal of IPRO 320 is to create an online professional network for school teachers at the kindergarten through twelfth grade level to allow for the sharing of ideas, lesson plans and other professionally relevant information. This is a continuing project which saw limited success in the previous semester in that a functioning web site was constructed based on surveys of public school teachers but it saw very little use. This semester, the planned approach is to build on the research generated last semester by performing additional market research with teachers. Following that, IPRO 320 will rework much of the previous web site by refining some of the features, adding additional ones as the research indicates and improving the website in general, both functionally and aesthetically.

Show moreFor structural applications, grain re nement has been shown to enhance mechanical properties such as strength, fatigue resistance, and fracture toughness. Through control of the thermo-mechanical processing parameters, dynamic recrystallization mechanisms were used to produce microstructures consisting of sub-micron grains in 9310 steel, 4140 steel, and Ti-6Al-4V. In both 9310 and 4140 steel, the distribution of carbides throughout the microstructure a ected the ability of the material to dynamically recrystallize and determined the size of the dynamically recrystallized grains. Processing the materials at lower temperatures and higher strain rates resulted in ner dynamically recrystallized grains. Microstructural process models that can be used to estimate the resulting microstructure based on the processing parameters were developed for both 9310 and 4140 steel. Heat treatment studies performed on 9310 steel showed that the sub-micron grain size obtained during deformation could not be retained due to the low equilibrium volume fraction of carbides. Commercially available aluminum alloys were investigated to explain their high strain rate deformation behavior. Alloys such as 2139, 2519, 5083, and 7039 exhibit strain softening after an ultimate strength is reached, followed by a rapid degradation of mechanical properties after a critical strain level has been reached. Microstructural analysis showed that the formation of shear bands typically preceded this rapid degradation in properties. Shear band boundary misorientations increased as a function of equivalent strain in all cases. Precipitation behavior was found to greatly in uence the microstructural response of the alloys. Additionally, precipitation strengthened alloys were found to exhibit similar ow stress behavior, whereas solid solution strengthened alloys exhibited lower ow stresses but higher ductility during dynamic loading. Schmid factor maps demonstrated that shear band formation behavior was in uenced by texturing in these alloys.

Show moreA system, method, and set of protocols for dynamic group communication are provided for enabling dynamic process migration and dynamic group membership management. A process in a group receives and distributes a migration signal. Group communication continues while the processes in the group asynchronously reach a global superstep and then a synchronization point. The processes then spawn a new process on a new device and update group membership information. The new process operates in continuous execution with the new group.
