Show moreMultivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPM), contribution plots, and parity space fault diagnosis (FD) techniques are used to detect abnormal operation of dynamic processes and diagnose sensor and actuator faults. The methods are illustrated by monitoring the critical control points (CCP) and diagnosing causes of abnormal operation of a pilot pasteurization plant. An empirical model of the process is developed by using subspace state space system identification methods and normal process data. The process data collected under the influence of different magnitude and duration of faults in sensors and actuators are used to validate the MSPM and FD techniques. T-2 and squared prediction error (SPEN) charts are used as MSPM charts. A parity space technique for dynamic stochastic systems and dynamic trends in contribution plots of T-2 and SPEN statistics are used for FD. The detection and FD by these techniques show significant improvements over univariate methods.

Show moreEnergy harvesting is a new emerging technology which is used to gather am- bient energy from all surroundings. Dielectric Electro Active Polymer (DEAP) is a new material for energy harvesting based on mechanical-to-electric energy conversion. By using MATLAB simulation, a new system design based on DEAP is proposed to harvest energy. In the proposed system, the energy harvesting and the feedback cir- cuit loops can keep the system working without an external source. The simulation results show that the proposed system can harvest energy, and the bias voltage can be supplied by the system itself. Hence, no external source is needed. For circuit level design, based on two different vibration input patterns in terms of mechanical vibration frequency and displacement, two topologies of system forward paths which include DEAP generator, voltage regulation circuit and DC-DC buck converter are designed. For the low frequency high displacement vibration input pattern, a low frequency forward path is developed by using Zener diode regulator. For the high frequency low displacement input pattern, a high frequency forward path is designed by using Butterworth low pass filter. PSPICE simulation results prove that both of the proposed circuits work properly to generate steady DC voltage for energy harvesting. Finally, a prototyping circuit including a low pass filter and a battery charging module is implemented in experiment to verify the feasibility of partial system func- tion. The results show that the prototyping circuit for the proposed energy harvesting system by using DEAP can work well.

Show moreSome aspects of hadron production in p-p collisions remain unresolved, including the low-hadron-momentum structure of high-parton-energy dijets, separation of triggered dijets from the underlying event (UE), the systematics of multiple parton interactions and possible systematic underestimation of dijet contributions to high-energy nuclear collisions. In this study we apply a minimum-bias trigger-associated (TA) correlation analysis to p-p collisions. We extract a hard component from TA correlations that can be compared with measured jet fragment systematics derived from e+-e− collisions. The kinematic limits on jet fragment production may be determined. The same method may be extended to A-A collisions where the role of minimum-bias jets in spectra and correlations is strongly contested.

Show moreGenerally phase lock loops (PLLs) are utilized in the implementation of the conventional clock generators and frequency multipliers. However there are some issues happened during designing PLLs. First of all, PLLs has a stability issue due to its higherorder systems. And this issue will cause the change of the loop bandwidth when PVT is different. Secondly, in PLLs, the output of the VCO will be fed back to the loop, which causes a peak phase error unexpectedly larger than the desired phase variation since jitter is accumulating over the oscillation cycles. These issues will make the design of a PLLbased frequency multiplier more complicated and challenging. In order to solve these issues, this thesis presents a 2-GHz frequency multiplier based on digital delay lock loop. In this design when the DLL is locked the digital DLL operated in the open-loop mode will reduce the jitter and power consumption due to dithering in the lock condition. In this design a compensation structure is proposed to keep track of any potential phase error caused by environmental variations. The reference input frequency is 500M Hz. This frequency multiplier is designed and fabricated in a 65nm CMOS. The thesis also provides theory and simulation results on frequency multiplier for readers.

Show moreA series of fatigue tests were performed on two different types of steels named Steel A (annealed and decarbed AISI-1018 steel), and Steel B (annealed and polished AISI-1018 steel), carried out to separation or to a maximum of 10,000,000 cycles (which was taken to be equivalent to infinite life). Strain levels ranging from 0.0014 in/in (0.0014mm/mm) down to 0.0008in/in (0.0008mm/mm) were used to execute all experimental load tests at a stress ratio R=-1 (complete reversal). An MTS machine was used for these trials. At the same time, magnetic fields and piezo-Barkhausen pulses were recorded by means of a flux gate magnetometer and a copper coil connected to a series of signal filters and amplifiers. Results were used to construct the classical S-N Whöler curve for both steels, as well as in exhibiting the behavior of the magnetic parameters (magnetic excursions, dominant frequencies of the magnetic signals) coupled to the fatigue lives of the samples tested. To describe such couplings, a set of correlations were introduced among the monitored variables as functions of testing time and applied strain. Also, a fractography analysis of the crack patterns using a scanning electron microscope was performed to represent statistically the geometry of “dimples” and fatigue striations from the inception of the crack, until the formation of a shear lip at the final stages of the crack. It was found that the magnitude of the mean amplitude of the piezo-Barkhausen pulses at early stages of the test is correlated to a mid-level energy of cracking, and thus explains the geometry of fatigue striations near the initiation of the crack at higher strain levels, compared to the geometry of the fatigue striations at lower strain levels. x xvi A joint analysis of the amplitudes of the magnetic excursions recorded in time, and the dominant frequencies of the magnetic signals were found to be discriminators of the elastic and plastic behavior of both types of steel. Furthermore the observed magnetic parameter variations determined in a clear way the endurance limit for each type of steel; these values also are in agreement with the strain level for which fatigue lives were greater than 10,000,000 cycles. Based on these results a “bell analogy” for interpreting the fatigue behavior is introduced. Bridge engineering applications and further research is also discussed.

Show moreAeration accounts for a large fraction of energy consumption in conventional water reclamation plants (WRPs). Although process operations at older WRPs can satisfy effluent permit requirements, they typically operate with excess aeration. More effective process controls at older WRPs can be challenging as operators work to balance higher energy costs and more stringent effluent limitations while managing fluctuating loads. Therefore, understandings of process resilience or ability to quickly return to original operation conditions at a WRP are important. A state-of-art WRP should maintain process resilience to deal with different kinds of perturbations even after optimization of energy demands. This work was to evaluate the applicability and feasibility of cyber-physical system (CPS) for improving operation at Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) Calumet WRP. In this work, a process model was developed and used to better understand the conditions of current Calumet WRP, with additional valuable information from two dissolved oxygen field measurements. Meanwhile, a classification system was developed to reveal the pattern of historical influent scenario based on cluster analysis and cross-tabulation analysis. Based on the results from the classification, typical process control options were investigated. To ensure the feasibility of information acquisition, the reliability and flexibility of soft sensors were assessed to typical influent conditions. Finally, the process resilience was investigated to better balance influent perturbations, energy demands, and effluent quality for long-term operations. These investigations and evaluations show that although the energy demands change as the influent conditions and process controls, in general, aeration savings could be up to 50% from the level of current consumption; with a more xix complex process controls, the saving could be up to 70% in relatively steady-state conditions and at least 40% in relatively challenging transient conditions. The soft sensors can provide reliable and flexible performance on target predictions. The plant can still maintain at a similar level of process resilience after 50% aeration saving, even during long-term perturbations. Overall, this work shows that it is well feasible to provide more cost-effective operations at the Calumet WRP, and meanwhile influent perturbations, effluent quality, and process resilience are well in balance. Keywords: Energy, aeration, effluent quality, perturbation, resilience, water reclamation plant.

Show moreWith the rapid growth of smartphone and tablet users, Device-to-Device (D2D) communications have become an attractive solution for enhancing the performance of traditional cellular networks. However, relevant security issues involved in D2D communications have not been addressed yet. In this thesis, I investigate the security requirements and challenges for D2D communications, and present a secure and efficient key agreement protocol, which enables two mobile devices to establish a share secret key for D2D without prior knowledge. The mobile devices are playing an important role in our social life. People trend to share their files and chat with each other without Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Direct technology provides a very good way to satisfy people’s need. After established a security D2D communication, I used the socket communication method to implement the chat function between devices and some protocols to enable the files transmitted. In the file transfer function, my demo support any types of the files. In the chat function, my demo also uses the shared secret to encrypt the message and then the receiver can decrypt it with the shared secret.

Show moreCapturing the momentary decisions and actions made by construction workers in response to workflow disruptions is challenging because, until now, there has not been a minimally-disruptive data collection method that allows workers to identify their decision process “in the moment.” However, an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) method – designed to capture momentary work experiences in natural settings – can provide researchers with detailed information about the daily challenges experienced by workers during the course of performing their tasks. An explanation of the method is provided, along with examples of the types of research questions that can be addressed and appropriate analysis techniques. The EMA method is being used on a federally-funded research program in the United States that is investigating how construction workers adapt to workflow disruptions by improvising their decisions and actions. Consequently, this article demonstrates the use of the method by presenting an idiographic study of William, an electrical construction worker. The evaluation of William’s disruptions, decisions, and actions elucidated an important relationship: every one of William’s disruptions required an improvisational action in order to continue working. The EMA method opens the door to the development of new theories about rapid decisions and subsequent actions on construction sites.

Show moreInformal observations of a practical and creative approach piloting Blended Library Instruction for undergraduate Civil Architecture and Engineering students, in collaboration with faculty. At Illinois Institute of Technology students don’t receive library instruction as a required class or in tandem with a composition class. Faculty will schedule one-time sessions, which ideally should be planned with a class assignment in mind, but students are rarely engaged with a one time instruction. Many have IKIA syndrome or I Know It Already syndrome. The Millennials are a group that has integrated technology into every aspect of their lives and they assume that retrieving useful or necessary information will be easy. When they discover this isn’t the case lack of time, heightened anxiety, and increased frustration can prevent them from doing their best work. By intentionally creating a similar crisis prior to library instruction, students were more interested in what they stood to gain during pending library instruction. In this presentation we will discuss: 1) A creative means of delivering library instruction to a traditionally challenging population: engineering undergraduate students 2) Qualitative information collected via multiple assignments and interpreted in a quantitative fashion, as well as our observations. 3) A method for preparing students for library instruction that can be applied in almost any discipline without asking the instructor to sacrifice class time.

Show moreThis study investigated the spread of Salmonella during postharvest washing of contaminated lettuce and determined the factors that affect the efficacy of chlorine in preventing Salmonella cross-contamination. A bench-scale washing system was assembled. It consisted of a 15 gal tank equipped with a submersible pump and various probes to measure wash water properties including pl-l, temperature, chlorine level. oxidation reduction potential (ORP), turbidity, and total organic carbon (TOC) level. Eight grams of cut romaine lettuce inoculated with approximately 7 log CFU/g of Salmonella typhimurium expressing green fluorescent protein were added to 40 L of sterile tap water or spent wash water collected from a commercial produce processing facility together with 800 g of uninoculated lettuce and washed for 2 min. Washing trials were performed at 3°C under different levels of chlorine treatment (0. 5, 10, 20 and 30 ppm of sodium hypochlorite). Small-scale (100 mL) experiments were performed to determine the effects of organic matter (lettuce homogenate) and solids (play sand) on the efficacy of chlorine in wash water. Without chlorine treatment, the spread of Salmonella occurred during lettuce washing in both sterile tap water and in spent industry water. With 5 ppm ofchlorine. although no Salmonella was detected in the wash water, the pathogen was found in the uninoculated lettuce after culture enrichments. When the chlorine level increased to either 10 or 20 ppm of chlorine, no Salmonella was detected in the wash water or the uninoculated lettuce. Similar experiments were performed using the spent industry water. Salmonella transfer occurred at chlorine of 10 or 20 ppm. Transfer was prevented when the chlorine level was raised to 30 ppm. IX Data from the small-scale experiments indicated that the increase in organic contents resulted in a lower level of free chlorine and a greater survival of Salmonella. At 5 ppm of chlorine, the level of Salmonella increased from not detectable « 1 log CFU/ml) to completely unaffected (4.3 ± 0.4 log CFU/ml) when the TOC level increased from 10.6 ± 10.4 to 164.0 ± 21.2 mg/L. Also, the increase in solid contents led to a greater survival of Salmonella even though the free chlorine level remained unchanged. At 0.5 ppm of chlorine, the level ofSalmonella increased from not detectable « 1 log CFU/ml) to completely unaffected (4.2 ± 0.1 log CFU/ml) when the turbidity level increased from 0.7 ± 0.5 to 378.2 ± 53.5 NTU. In summary, the use of sufficient chlorine could prevent Salmonella cross-contamination but the effective chlorine level was affected by the organic load and solid content present in the wash water. Since the chlorine efficacy was the key to preventing cross-contamination and organic load was an important factor affecting the chlorine efficacy, measurements of the organic load was needed to determine the level ofchlorination needed in the wash water. However, current methods for measuring TOC took a few hours to perform. Turbidity measurements which could be done in a minute had been frequently used in the produce industry to determ ine wash water quality. In this study. it was found that a linear correlation could be established between turbidity and TOC suggesting that turbidity could be a good predictor of the organic load in produce wash water.

Show moreDevelopment of engineered tissues of clinically relevant size requires the ability to control vascularization within biomaterial scaffolds. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels have been extensively investigated for use as synthetic scaffolds to support engineered tissue formation. The goal of this work described was to develop techniques that can be used to enhance vascularized tissue formation in PEG-based hydrogels. In the first part of the study a technique was developed to generate porous PEG hydrogels using a salt leaching technique. This technique was then used to examine the role of pore size on vascularization and tissue remodeling in porous PEG hydrogel in vitro and in vitro. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that vessel invasion was pore size dependent. In addition, a thin layer of inflammatory tissue was observed between PEG hydrogel and blood vessels that formed within the gels. This layer suggested that inflammatory cells, not vascular cells, interacted with the surface of the material. This suggests that peptides covalently incorporated within PEG may not directly interact with endothelial cells (ECs) following implantation. The porous PEG hydrogels were very stable in vitro and in vivo and did not exhibit any signs of degradation. Hydrogels used in tissue engineering need to exhibit controlled degradation. In order to address the stability of PEG hydrogels, porous hydrogels were rendered using degradable PEG-co-(L-Lactic acid) diacrylate PEG-PLLA-DA. This polymer is degraded via hydrolysis of the PLLA chains. The porous PEG-PLLA-DA hydrogels were generated by solvent casting, photopolymerization, and particulate leaching. The influence of polymer conditions on the architecture, degradation, and mechanical properties of the hydrogels were investigated in vitro. The hydrogels were found to exhibit autofluorescence that allowed for the unique ability to nondestructively image hydrogel structure under fully swelled conditions using confocal microscopy. Initial pore size was a function of particulate size and independent of polymer concentration. Interestingly, pore size remained stable though out the study, and was not a function of degradation. In addition, degradation time of porous PEG-LLA-DA hydrogels was influenced by polymer concentration. Compressive modulus was a function of polymer concentration and pore size and decreased during hydrogel degradation. The incorporation of cell adhesion sequences into the hydrogel showed that they can support cell adhesion with morphology varying with pore size. This technique could be used to tailor porous biodegradable scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. In the final portion of this thesis a poly-lysine (PLL) molecule was synthesized in order to allow clustering of adhesion sequences in PEG hydrogels. Clusters of peptide sequences have been shown to enhance cell interactions with substrate surfaces. The sequence was synthesized and purified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and characterized by mass spectrometry. The side chains of the PLL molecule was used to attach peptide sequences. Cysteine contained within the PLL allowed incorporation into the PEG hydrogel by mixed mode polymerization. Cells were observed to adhere to hydrogels containing the RGD clusters and not to the control gels. The results presented here describe various techniques that can be used to optimize the design of polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering. In addition, the data provide insight into the process of vascularization in porous hydrogels and the influence of synthesis conditions and degradation on properties of porous hydrogels. Future studies should investigate the optimization of these material techniques for control of neovascularization within PEG hydrogels for tissue engineering applications.
