Show moreMultimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (MBMS) in cellular networks has emerged recently as a promising distribution model to provide rich content distribution where a batch of content is broadcast to a large number of peers simultaneously. However, ensuring efficient error-free message delivery in such a scenario is a challenge, since packet loss is inevitable due to the time-varying nature of wireless transmissions, and the server is probably overwhelmed by floods of individual retransmission requests from peers. Cooperative Peer-to-Peer (P2P) information repair has been proposed to mitigate the packet loss among peers during Base Station (BS) broadcast, by allowing peers to cooperate on information exchange among themselves, rather than asking the BS to rebroadcast the lost packets for the peers. Network Coding, a fairly recent transmission paradigm with the potential network throughput improvement and high reliability advantage, has been widely recognized as a promising information dissemination approach for wireless networks. In this research, we study the network coding based cooperative P2P information repair in wireless networks. We first propose our initial work - a connected dominating set (CDS) based P2P information repair (PPIR) protocol with network coding which utilize the clustering idea, to minimize the total repair latency as well as alleviate the congestion and burden of BS’s downlink channels. Then the decision making problem for P2P repair with densely distributed nodes is studied and two approaches are provided. Later on, the NC based P2P information repair protocol with tunable parameter (NC-PIRTP) which evolved from PPIR protocol is proposed to further reduce transmission collisions and total repair latency. At last, P2P information repair under mobile network environment with pedestrian speed is studied and three efficient protocols are illustrated which are suitable to different specific cases. Extensive simulation results are provided for performance evaluation and comparisons, and to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed protocols in terms of the total repair latency. Furthermore, an analytical model is developed, based on which theoretical results are derived. These results validate our protocol models and provide useful protocol design guideline for the cooperative P2P information repair problem in wireless networks.

Show moreOur interconnected electric power system is presently facing many challenges that it was not originally designed and engineered to handle. The increased interarea power transfers, aging infrastructure, and old technologies, have caused many problems including voltage instability, widespread blackouts, slow control response, among others. These problems have created an urgent need to transform the present electric power system to a highly stable, reliable, efficient, and self-healing electric power system of the future, which has been termed “smart grid”. This dissertation begins with a discussion on the voltage stability issue in bulk transmission networks. A new continuation power flow tool for studying the impacts of generator merit order based dispatch on inter-area transfer capability and static voltage stability is presented. In using this tool, it is realized that all distribution systems are represented by only a single lumped load model. While this representation is acceptable in traditional power system analysis, it may not be valid in the future smart grid where the distribution system will be integrated with intelligent and quick control capabilities to mitigate voltage problems before they propagate into the entire system. Therefore before analyzing the operation of the whole smart grid, it is important to understand the distribution system first. The second part of this dissertation presents a new platform for studying and testing emerging technologies in advanced Distribution Automation (DA) within smart grids. Due to the key benefits over the traditional centralized approach, namely flexible deployment, scalability, and avoidance of single-point-of-failure, a new distributed approach is employed to design and develop all elements of the platform. The multi-agent system (MAS), which has the three key characteristics of autonomy, local view, and decentralization, is selected to implement the advanced DA functions. The intelligent agents utilize the communication network for cooperation and negotiation. Communication latency is modeled using a user-defined probability density function. Failure-tolerant communication strategies are developed for agent communications. Major elements of advanced DA are developed in a completely distributed way and successfully tested for several IEEE standard systems, including: Fault Detection, Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR); Coordination of Distributed Energy Storage Systems (DES); Distributed Power Flow (DPF); Volt-VAR Control (VVC); and Loss Reduction (LR).

Show moreDetecting out-of-control status and diagnosing disturbances leading to the abnormal process operation early are crucial in minimizing product quality variations Multivariate statistical techniques are used to develop detection methodology for abnormal process behavior and diagnosis of disturbances causing poor process performance. Principal components and discriminant analysis ave applied to quantitatively describe and interpret step, ramp and random-variation disturbances. All disturbances require high-dimensional models for accurate description and cannot be discriminated by biplots. Diagnosis of simultaneous multiple faults is addressed by building quantitative measures of overlap between models of single faults and their combinations. These measures are used to identify the existence of secondary disturbances and distinguish their components. The methodology is illustrated by monitoring the Tennessee Eastman plant simulation benchmark problem subjected to different disturbances. Most of the disturbances can be diagnosed correctly, the success rate being higher for step and vamp disturbances than random-variation disturbances.

Show moreDetailed flow field measurements have been carried out for a turbulent circular jet perturbed by tabs and artificial excitation. Two ''delta tabs'' were placed at the nozzle exit at diametrically opposite locations. The excitation condition involved subharmonic resonance that manifested in a periodic vortex pairing in the near flow field. While the excitation and the tabs independently increased jet spreading, a combination of the two diminished the effect. The jet spreading was most pronounced with the tabs but was reduced when excitation was applied to the tabbed jet. The tabs generated streamwise vortex pairs that caused a lateral spreading of the jet in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the tabs. The excitation, on the other hand, organized the azimuthal vorticity into coherent ring structures whose evolution and pairing also increased entrainment by the jet. In the tabbed case, the excitation produced coherent azimuthal structures that were distorted and asymmetric in shape. The self-induction of these structures produced an effect that opposed the tendency for the lateral spreading of the streamwise vortex pairs. The passage of the distorted vortices, and their pairing, also had a cancellation effect on the time-averaged streamwise vorticity field. These led to the reduction in jet spreading.

Show moreHidden Markov Models (HMM) are used to detect abnormal operation of dynamic processes and diagnose sensor and actuator faults. The method is illustrated by monitoring the operation of a pasteurization plant and diagnosing causes of abnormal operation. Process data collected under the influence of faults of different magnitude and duration in sensors and actuators are used to illustrate the use of HMM in the detection and diagnosis of process faults. Case studies with experimental data from a high-temperature-short-time pasteurization system showed that HMM can diagnose the faults with certain characteristics such as fault duration and magnitude.

Show moreA thermodynamic constitutive model for plain concrete, and other quasi-brittle materials, is developed. The model accounts for the anisotropic damage-induced and the aging viscoelasticity of the material. The model is based on the theory of solidi cation proposed by Baºant and the continuum damage mechanics theory. The material is considered to be a viscoelastic-damageable material. The Helmholtz free energy utilized in the formulation is treated by means of the representation theorem of coupled damage-strain tensors. The model is capable of analyzing time-dependent damage (tertiary creep) under constant loading and damage due to cyclic creep. Two simple but practical examples are presented in order to illustrate the applicability of the model. The determination of the functions and constants representing the material behavior as well as any experimental companion is proposed for the continuation of the research.

Title: SYNTHESIS OF NANOPLATE STRUCTURES IN NI-BASED ALLOYS VIA DISCONTINUOUS PRECIPITATION

Show moreNanostructured materials are of increasing interest due to their potential for use in numerous applications including catalysis and filtration. Methods of synthesizing nanomaterials often include chemical techniques producing individual particles, which gives rise to issues of agglomeration and containment, and the processes are difficult to scale-up. This work is directed at addressing issues of the occurrence and kinetics of self-assembly and structural alignment of nanostructures, which involves the discontinuous precipitation transformation followed by selective dissolution. This synthesis method has been demonstrated using a Ni-49at.%Co-12at.%Al alloy. A complete discontinuous transformation in the Ni 49-12 alloy can be achieved in times as short as 30min. Thus, the large-scale production of such structures is feasible using conventional heat treatment facilities. The synthesis technique is generally applicable to any alloy system in which DP goes to completion and one phase can be selectively removed. The nanoplates are self-assembled, self-supported and well aligned if the precipitate is coherent with the matrix. In order to control the process it is necessary to understand the phase equilibria involving γ, γ′ and β phases in the Al-Co-Ni system. This has been investigated both experimentally and computationally. The isothermal sections at 1100°C and 800°C as well as a partial liquidus projection were determined which result in modifications to previously published work. Comparing the experimental results with the calculated results using Thermo-Calc (TCNI8), there is reasonable agreement. The predicted separation of the γ phase into a two-phase ferromagnetic and paramagnetic region has never been observed experimentally in this or other published work. Future work should explore the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic phase separation as predicted using Thermo-Calc to verify its occurrence in this system. The nanostructured material produced by complete DP transformation may have interesting mechanical properties and these have been studied to a limited extent in this work. The hardness tests show that with decreasing annealing temperature to 600°C, the hardness of certain samples increases significantly due to the precipitation of second phase. The tensile and creep properties of alloy samples with DP phase present were also investigated. The results imply that the occurrence of DP will have a favorable effect on the tensile strength of the sample while lowering the ductility at the same time. A method to generate serrated grain boundaries based on the DP transformation is proposed. Such structures are expected to increase the creep resistance. This was found to be the case in a limited temperature and loading range. Higher temperature or stress levels lead to DP occurrence and cause negative effects on the creep resistance compared to conventionally processed material. The Curie temperature in the Al-Co-Ni alloy system was also studied and determined using a combined magnetic TG and DSC method. A ternary contour map of the Curie temperature has been constructed. From the contour map, the Curie temperature was seen to decrease from high Co, low Al content samples to low Co, high Al samples bypassing a platform at mid Co content. A nonlinear surface fitting was made through a Exponential2D model, the function is helpful for the prediction of Curie temperature of γ phase in Al-Co-Ni alloy system. This method also provides a novel idea of detecting phase transformation and precipitation through thermo-magnetically analyzing the magnetic behavior of the alloys.

Show moreRecent military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have resulted in an increase in the number of blast related traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases, currently estimated in excess of 300,000. Current neuroimaging methods, including MRI and CT, are generally not sensitive enough to diagnose blast TBL This research represents several advancements in the understanding of long-term TBI related changes as well as imaging comorbid neurocognitive deficits and psychopathologies. The multi modal approach was taken to leverage the differing sensitivities of each imagmg modality to better identify neuroimaging changes associated with blast TBL T l-weighted MRI was utilized to assess cortical thickness reduction in the TBI subjects, resulting in right temporal lobe decreases that were associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and neurobehavioral symptom indices. Utilizing positron emission tomography (PET), several areas of metabolic change were associated with blast TBI, PTSD, repetitive head injury, and TBI severity. Functional MRI was used to assess working memory deficit, demonstrating relatively normal function in the mild TBI subject, except for at higher cognitive loads; whereas the moderate TBI subjects demonstrated a trend of dysfunction at most levels of cognitive load. Fractional anisotropy (FA) changes were assessed using diffusion tensor imaging, however there was no resulting statistical significance due to differences in the locations of single subject FA changes that could not be realized at the group level using standard analyses. Investigation into multimodal searchlight to integrate the sensitivities of each imaging modality into a single statistical measure, provided enhanced sensitivity to TBI-induced changes in neuroimaging versus single modal searchlight and identified several clusters of change most notably in the cerebellum, temporal lobes, brainstem, and internal capsule. Through a multimodal approach we have shown several areas of damage and dysfunction associated with blast TBI in subjects greater than one year post injury. This research is important due to the large numbers of subjects currently experiencing long-term post concussive symptoms. Our findings show that both TBI and PTSD playa large role in the changes identified on neuroimaging. This research can provide information to assist in the understanding , diagnosis , and treatment of blast TBI.

Show moreThis paper provides an example of the application of Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) to complex internal suspersonic flows and demonstrates the relationship between ejector wall pressure and aerodynamic performance. Details of such jet mixer-ejector nozzles are relevant to jet noise reduction programs. Several ejector configurations with straight, convergent, and divergent side walls were used in our experiments. The side-wall that was painted with PSP was also instrumented with an array of 156 pressure taps connected to Electronically Scanned Pressure (ESP) modules, enabling simultaneous measurement of "true" reference pressures. The PSP results agreed very well with the "true" reference pressures and also provided a detailed map of the complicated pressure patterns that could not be detected using the pressure taps. Finally, we also demonstrated the direct relationship between ejector side-wall pressure distribution and ejector performance characteristics such as exit mean flow uniformity, pumping, and thrust augmentation.

Show moreDue to increased fuel efficiency and lower cost/mile feature, electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) are becoming more and more popular. It is estimated that the sale of electric vehicles will reach 3.8 million by 2020, while hybrid vehicles will grow to 4% by 2020 from their current share of 2%. To meet this target, EV an HEV motors, the core energy conversion components, should not only satisfy specific requirements in performance and efficiency but also constrain vibration. This necessitates the analysis of vibration in traction motors for EV/HEV application. The primary objective of this dissertation is to characterize and compare the electromagnetic and vibrational behavior of typical traction motors (PMSM with distributed winding, PMSM with concentrated winding, IM, and SRM) over a wide torque speed range. For this purpose, weak-coupled analysis of electromagnetic force and structure are performed in ANSYS environment. The secondary aim of this dissertation is to develop a rotor position related variable switching frequency pulse width modulated (PWM) strategy to ameliorate the acoustic noise due to high frequency harmonic current. Switching frequency is modified online to adapt current ripple and vibration requirement, thus ameliorate the acoustic noise. It is expected that this strategy with variable switching frequency has the advantages of spreading the vibration spectrum and reducing switching losses. Experimentally verification is also performed. At the end of this dissertation, characterization of vibration behavior of switch reluctance machine with higher number of rotor poles than stator poles is performed.

Show moreThis paper provides a unique, detailed evaluation of the acoustics and aerodynamics of a rectangular multi-element supersonic jet mixer-ejector noise suppressor. The performance of such mixer-ejectors is important in aircraft engine applications for noise suppression and thrust augmentation. In contrast to most prior experimental studies on ejectors that reported either aerodynamic of acoustic data, the present work documents both types of data. Information on the mixing, pumping, ejector wall pressure distribution, thrust augmentation and noise suppression characteristics of four simple, multi-element, jet mixer-ejector configurations is presented. The four configurations included the effect of ejector area ratio (AR = ejector cross-sectional area/total primary nozzle area) and the effect of non-parallel ejector walls. The configuration that produced the best noise suppression characteristics has also been studied in detail. The present results show that ejector configurations that produced the maximum pumping (secondary (induced) flow normalized by the primary flow) also exhibited the lowest wall pressures in the inlet region, and the maximum thrust augmentation. When cases having the same total mass flow were compared, one found that noise suppression trends corresponded with those for pumping (per unit secondary area). Surprisingly, the mixing (quantified by the peak Mach number, and flow uniformity) at the ejector exit exhibited no relationship to the noise suppression at moderate primary jet fully expanded M-j (the Mach number that would have been attained under isentropic expansion). However, the noise suppression dependence on the mixing was apparent at M-j = 1.6. The above observations are justified by noting that the mixing at the ejector exit is not a strong factor in determining the radiated noise when noise produced internal to the ejector dominates the noise field outside the ejector.
