Data-Driven Fault Detection, Isolation and Identification of Rotating Machinery: with Applications to Pumps and Gearboxes
DownloadFall 2012
Fault diagnosis plays an important role in the reliable operation of rotating machinery. Data-driven approaches for fault diagnosis rely purely on historical data. Depending on how a diagnosis decision is made, this thesis divides data-driven fault diagnosis approaches into two groups:...

Development of a Thermostable Tuberculosis Vaccine Candidate Suitable for Pulmonary Delivery through Particle Engineering
DownloadFall 2020
Tuberculosis (TB) is a preventable and curable highly infectious respiratory disease that is responsible for the deaths of approximately 1.5 million people every year. However, vaccination programs are hindered by refrigeration requirements for vaccines during transportation and storage....

Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...

Mathematical and Experimental Modelling of the Dynamic Response of the Transfemoral Bone Implant System and Bone Anchored Hearing Aids and its Potential Application to the Non-invasive Evaluation of Implant Stability
DownloadFall 2023
Osseointegrated implants rely on the direct structural and functional attachment of an implant to the surrounding bone tissues. These implants are used in various fields including dentistry, bone conduction hearing and lower-limb amputations. Determining the quality of the bond between the...

Design and Characterization of a Novel Mechanical Surrogate Neck Model for Use in Head Impact Applications
DownloadFall 2020
Head and brain injuries are commonly caused by head impacts in sport and recreational activities. Despite attempts to decrease head impact injury risk through mandated helmet use, mild brain injuries are still prevalent. Brain injury research and helmet assessment methods use surrogate models to...
