Harvesting energy from non-ideal vibrations
… harmonic. Therefore, the inability to deal with non-ideal vibration sources has become a major technological obstacle for vibration energy harvesters to be widely applicable. To advance the state of vibration energy harvesting, this thesis presents a design methodology that is capable of dealing …

Detonation modelling of non-ideal high explosives
… velocity of 6 - 8 km/s. Insensitive HE (IHE) and non-ideal HE (NIHE) are of particular interest as they are harder to initiate and thus safer to store and transport. Detonations in IHEs and NIHEs are characterized by longer reaction time and length scales than detonations in CHE. NIHEs are …

Non-ideal exchange springs in DyFe2/YFe2 superlattices
… of this potential will involve a study of non-ideal exchange spring behaviour. Within the context of molecular-beam-epitaxy (MBE)-grown DyFe2/YFe2 superlattices, two non-ideal processes are examined in this work. The first involves the anisotropy of the so-called hard pinning DyFe2 layer. …

Techniques for Ocular Biometric Recognition Under Non-ideal Conditions
… under unconstrained conditions (e.g., non-uniform illumination, occlusions, motion blur, image resolution, etc.). This dissertation develops techniques to perform iris and ocular recognition under challenging conditions. The first contribution is an image-level fusion scheme to improve …

On the calibration of some ideal and non-ideal explosives
The initial portion of this work will expound a concise, albeit limited, introduction to energetic materials, from their background and the reasons they are studied to the modern developments used in the work of this thesis. Today there are several reason why these materials are studied. The …

Quantifying Uncertainty in Velocity-area Streamflow Measurements Under Non-ideal Conditions
… quantitative uncertainty are rarely studied in non-ideal conditions. Three methods for estimating uncertainty – ISO 748, IVE, and FLAURE – were compared across cross-sections representing both near-ideal and non-ideal conditions along a small, regulated river on Vancouver Island, British …

The ‘non-ideal’ victim: factors influencing perceptions of sexual abuse victims
… of victims of sexual assault, namely ‘non-ideal’ victims. A ‘non-ideal’ victim is someone who does not fit into traditional gender or social stereotypes or deviates from other societal norms – these may include attractiveness, race, age, occupation and so on. Substantial evidence …

Multiphase extensions to ODE models for detonations of non-ideal explosives
… used to better capture the heterogeneities in non-ideal explosives used in mining applications. Streamline ODE multidimensional models are normally obtained by reducing the partial differential equations (PDEs) describing the motion of the material to ODEs by making approximations about some of …

Shock Physics of Non-Ideal Detonations for Energetic Explosives With Aluminum Particles
Results indicate that the induction delay for the aluminum particles, combined with endothermic processes, alter the structure of the reaction zone, and produce a secondary shock wave which never reaches the detonation wave front. Additionally, under certain combinations of heat transfer rate and …

Analysis and simulation of small scale microwave interferometer experiments on non-ideal explosives
<p>Small scale experiments for non-ideal and homemade explosives (HMEs) were investigated, analyzed, and subsequently modeled in an attempt to develop more predictive capabilities for the threat assessment of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as to provide new analysis capabilities for …

Modeling and characterization of non-ideal effects in high-performance RF MEMS tuners
… Robust operation of RF MEMS tuners under the non-ideal effects due to fabrication uncertainties and environmental variations is critical in achieving reliable RF MEMS reconfigurable devices. Therefore, it is essential to model and characterize these non-ideal effects, and further to alleviate …

An uncertainty model of a non-ideal open area test site for electromagnetic measurement
… of electrical and electronic products. An ideal OATS is a flat area, free of any obstructions and external signals. Precompliance testing in a non-ideal OATS is an economical way to prepare a product for compliance testing. However, measurements in the non-ideal OATS have higher …
