Fall 2018
Premature failure occurred in the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pipes from manufacturer A at the solvent welded joints, while pipes from manufacturer B work normally under similar working conditions. Through characterization of mechanical properties and residual stresses in CPVC pipes...

Fatigue Behaviour of Coke Drum Materials and Its Application to Extend the Service Lives of Coke Drums
DownloadFall 2014
Coke drums are vertical pressure vessels used in the delayed coking process in petroleum refineries. They are normally constructed of carbon or low carbon alloy steels internally clad with stainless steel to protect the coke drums from corrosion during operations. Significant temperature...

Fault Detection and Diagnosis in Nonlinear Systems, with a Focus on Mining Truck Suspension Strut
DownloadSpring 2014
Classical fault detection methods do not completely satisfy the reliability requirement for complex and highly nonlinear stochastic systems. One solution to this problem is to use more advances fault detection methods such as multiple models to simulate system in different operating...

Fall 2024
Operated under changing wind speed and harsh environment conditions, the rotating parts in wind turbine gearboxes, such as gears and bearings, will deteriorate and become faulty over time. By conducting real-time and accurate fault detection and diagnosis before significant failures occur, we can...

Fall 2011
The atmospheric capture of CO2 was proposed to offset past and future emissions from small distributed sources or past emissions from all sources. The objective of this study is to develop a feasible process to capture 300 Mton of CO2 from the atmosphere, annually, and to integrate the proposed...

Spring 2011
This research investigates and proposes methods to be used for the automation of the conceptual design phases of variational mechanisms. It employs the concept of feature-based modeling approaches. A method is proposed for integrating the dimensional synthesis, mechanical design and CAD...

Spring 2016
When parts are designed and manufactured, considerations for their geometry, material, function, and manufacturability need to be taken into account, and it would be efficient to address all these aspects concurrently. From this perspective, topology optimization is useful and gaining the...
