Modeling, analysis and control of print registration in roll-to-roll printing presses
(2013-05)
Print registration in roll-to-roll (R2R) printing process is investigated in this dissertation. Print registration is the process of aligning multiple images that are printed in consecutive print units. The quality of the ...
Modeling and control of a permanently magnetized sphere's motion by field manipulation
(2006-12)
A model describing the motion of a magnetized sphere in a fluid medium subject to an applied field is developed. The inspiration for this system is rooted in technologies and procedures being explored in the biomedical ...
Optical and thermal fenestration models for building cooling load calculations
(2007-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this study was to enhance the modeling of fenestration systems containing shading devices for building thermal load and energy calculations. The focus was on the simulation of ...
Digital holographic diagnostics of near-injector region
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The primary breakup of near-injector region of liquid jets is of interest motivated by its application to gas turbine fuel injectors, diesel fuel injectors, industrial cleaning, medical spray, ...
Simulation and optimal control of hybrid ground source heat pump systems
(2007-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of the study was development of optimal control strategies for hybrid ground-source heat pump (HGSHP) systems in order to improve the performance of HGSHP systems. The investigations ...
Investigation on the mechanism of wear of single crystal diamond tool in nanometric cutting of iron using molecular dynamics (MD) and the development of generalized potential energy surfaces (GPES) base on ab initio calculations
(2009-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Diamond, the hardest of all materials known, undergoes severe wear in the machining of iron. This is because of the strong chemical affinity of iron towards carbon. However, the micro-mechanisms ...
Modeling and control of web transport in the presence of non-ideal rollers
(2013-05)
In roll-to-roll processes the presence of non-ideal elements, such us out-of-round or eccentric rollers is fairly common. Periodic oscillations in web tension and web velocity are observed because of the presence of such ...
