High Precision Thermal Morphing of the Smart Anisogrid Structure for Space-Based Applications
… cases. Secondly, a sensitivity analysis based parameter ranking methodology is developed to define parameter importance. A five parameter model correlation effort is used to demonstrate the ability to simplify complex coupled problems. By reducing the parameters to only the most critical, the …

Gain Conditioning for Linear Model Predictive Control
… approach I extend an orthogonalization-based parameter-ranking algorithm, which was originally developed to aid parameter estimation in fundamental models, so it can be used to identify and address gain conditioning problems. The proposed method ranks MVs from most influential to least …

A Mathematical Model for the Devolatilization of EPDM Rubber in a Series of Steam Stripping Vessels
… that were conducted to determine model parameters such as equivalent radius for EPDM particles, as well as solubility and diffusivity parameters for hexane and ENB in EPDM polymer are described. A single-particle multiple-tank model was developed first, and a process model that accounts …

Meta-Learning and the Full Model Selection Problem
… namely, the meta-learning-based algorithm/parameter ranking approach and the meta-heuristic search-based full-model selection approach. Some of the results have been published in research papers; thus, this thesis also serves as a coherent collection of results in a single volume.

Improving the performance of aerofoil sections using momentum transfer via a secondary flow
… on a NACA0012 aerofoil section. The resulting parameter ranking showed general agreement with previous data in that the most important parameters are the gap-size i.e. the length over which the two fluids are in contact and the velocity gradient between the two fluids.<br/><br/>However, it also …

Determining muscle-tendon characteristics and function of stretch-shortening cycle performance in dancers
… the relationship between saut de chat weighted parameter rankings, leap height, maximal voluntary isometric plantarflexion strength, medial gastrocnemius stiffness, Achilles tendon stiffness, and leaping peak power; 3) to investigate the effect of an ankle-focused block progression training …

A Methodology for Determining the Appropriate Level of Power Flow Model Detail
… generator capability curves, and explicit parameters in the power flow is validated and they are considered for the trade-off model applications. The basic concept of the proposed algorithm is that the most impactful electric components in the grid that greatly influence the power flow are …
