Fall 2009
This thesis focuses on the use of computer simulation for modeling risk of a multi-state repairable component. In production processes, maintenance decisions are often made based on uncertain assessment of risk, not only in the probability when a process component goes into a state of failure...

Design, Simulation and Evaluation of Effective Industrial Information Systems: Case of Machine Condition Monitoring and Maintenance Management Information Systems
DownloadFall 2013
Industrial information systems can improve the management of industrial operations by providing relevant and timely information on the status of physical assets via condition and process monitoring systems, and by enabling the effective use of data by systems and processes that restore proper...

Development of an Experimental Apparatus for Studying the Effects of Acoustic Excitation on Viscosity
DownloadFall 2012
An experimental apparatus was developed capable of measuring changes in fluid viscosity occurring due to acoustic stimulation. Controls allowed measurements at simulated oil sand reservoir pressures and temperatures with near real-time data visualization. Calibration was performed...

Hernandez Peralta, Rodrigo Arturo
The objective of this research was to examine the cold temperature limitation of the elastomeric material currently used in railcar airbrake glad-hand gaskets. A test plan to assess gasket material performance was designed based on gasket operating conditions and material properties. Standards,...

There is a growing trend of using unmanned aerial vehicles (also known as UAVs, uncrewed aerial vehicles, or drones) to manipulate and interact with their surroundings. The algorithms and tools used are typically unique to the different tasks performed by UAVs; however, the fundamental UAV system...

Spring 2014
Static and dynamic characterization was performed on a prototype piezoresistive silicon MEMS strain sensor. Static tests showed the MEMS sensor’s gauge factor ranged from 10-13, which is higher than a foil gauge’s gauge factor. Power measurements at -20 C, 24 C, and 80 C showed that the average...
