Experimental Evaluation and Analytical Modeling of Shear Bond in Composite Slabs
… use the interaction property derived from full scale performance tests. In numerical modeling, the interaction property is obtained from a variety of elemental push off tests which, for the most part, do not represent actual slab bending. This research comprises experimental, analytical and …

Agile Testing Methods for IC Radios
… thesis concentrates on the development of a new testing procedure for the radio used in Broadcom\u201fs WLAN and cellular chips. Verification and hardware testing for the radio is completed at the end of the development cycle by the fabrication of test chips which contain only radio specific …

Pressure Swing Assisted Desorption for Atmospheric Water Collection
… that the methods, in order of slowest to fastest, should be (1) solely pressure swing desorption, (2) solely temperature swing desorption, and (3) the combined method using simultaneous pressure and temperature swings. The results from the experiment using the MOF UiO-66 as the sorbent showed …

The influence of caprock on blast fragmentation distribution
… dissertation describes the development of a small-scale model of a caprock-laden quarry blast and discusses the results from that testing. The purpose of this testing was to provide insight into the reasons for poor caprock breakage during blasting.</p> <p>Small-scale test blocks were poured …

Smart wireless control of civil structures
… validated on an actively controlled multi-story, small-scale test structure suitable for different levels of control decentralization. The result of this research is the realization of a decentralized wireless active structural control system that overcomes the challenges posed by wireless smart …

Performance evaluation of a spread spectrum local area position location system
… theoretical analysis, a series of experimental tests, and by the development of a computer simulation package. A small scale experimental test was conducted as a proof of concept and a test of the prototype hardware. The small scale test was also used to estimate parameters of the computer …

Valuing of inertia and fast-acting storage devices in interconnected power grids
… designs for non-conventional units require test systems that represent the characteristic complexity and features of actual power systems. To provide insightful, realistic simulation results, a systematic method based on statistics summarized from actual system models and publicly available …

Development of Instrumental and Computational tools for investigation of polymer flammability
… is the development and utilization of the microscale combustion calorimeter (MCC) and how it helps us understand the flammability of materials. A reproducible way to quantitatively assess material flammability was needed. The simplest approach is based on the molecular structure of a material to …

The neural correlates of Human Spatial Memory and Representation
… laboratories, we describe a novel and flexible small-scale test of spatial memory which we coined ‘The Spatial Grid Task’. With variants of this array task we investigated human spatial memory in an attempt to test the relationship between elements of the cognitive map and between spatial and …

Experimental investigations and finite element analyses of interface heat partition in a friction brake system. New modelling paradigm for describing friction brake systems to support studies of interface temperature, contact pressure, heat flux distribution and heat partition ratio by experiment and FE simulation
… ratio. The work is based around a set of test-rig experiments and FE model developments and simulations. For the experimental work, a small-scale test rig is used to investigate the friction induced bending moment effect on the pad/disc temperature. Significant non-uniform wear is observed …
