Adaptation of a Dynamic Muscle Mechanics Model to Simulate Movement in Young and Old Adults
(1998)The project I participated in involved the development of a direct-dynamics model to realistically simulate human movement. The model consisted of a multi-segmented representation of the body with Hill-type musculo-tendon ... -
Advanced Brazing Methods for Assembly of Superalloy Based Parts
(2013)René 108 is a nickel-based superalloy commonly used in gas turbines and other applications where high mechanical strength is need at high temperatures. Wide-gap brazing is commonly used to repair in-service parts to extend ... -
Alternative Methods for Ultrasonic Welding of Advanced Thermoplastic Composites
(2023-03-01)The fusion bonding of advanced thermoplastic composites has a variety of applications in aerospace, automotive, medical, consumer electronics and energy markets. High-power ultrasonic welding is a state-of-the-art manufacturing ... -
Analysis of Feasibility of Thermoforming Ceramic Tapes
(2001)Ceramics are versatile materials used in art, utilities, homes, and technology. Tape casting, a relatively new method of forming ceramics, includes a polymeric binder, which gives it properties similar to a flat polymer ... -
An Analysis of Vibrating Bars
(Kalamazoo College., 1963-01-01)The paper investigates the parameters of a transversely vibrating rigid bar under the influence of a periodic driving force through experimental and mathematical analyses. -
Analytical Characterization of Coals
(1991)Faster and more efficient methods of analyzing coal are needed to enable better decision making concerning combustion conditions at facilities using coal as a primary fuel. Infrared spectroscopy and thermoqravimetry are ... -
Angular Correlation Studies of the Successive Gamma-Gamma Cascade in Cobalt 60
(1970)The purpose of this thesis was to design and set up with the available equipment, an experiment that could be used to determine the angular momentum of excited nuclear states through gamma-gamma angular correlation studies. -
An Annotated Instruction Manual Covering the Use of the Computer Aided Instruction Program MOD5
(1977)Computer graphics and its applications have always fascinated me ever since I was first exposed to it. Naturally, an SIP connecting Computer graphics with Physics seemed ideal when Dr. Winch and I hit upon the idea early ... -
Application of Accoustical, Electrical and Carpentry Skills in the Design, Construction, and Testing of Audio Speaker Systems
(1988)As an audio enthusiast I dove into this project with a passion. I have always wondered about the "hows" and "whys" of speaker construction and I believe there are many audiophiles like myself who have wondered about the ... -
An Application of Low-Level Bulk Aerodynamic Procedures to a Cooling Pond
(1975)The decision to construct either a cooling tower or a cooling pond for the dissaption of waste heat produced by a power plant is influenced by such fctors as the availability of water, land values, construction costs, ... -
Applied Electronics: Construction of an Alternating Square Wave Current Generator for Nuclear Quadropole Resonance Spectroscopy
(1964)This project was assigned and undertaken with two definite ends in view. The first dealt with my interest in the field of applied electronics and my intention to enter this field upon graduation. Unfortunately, my ... -
The Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero-Gradient Synchrotron': A General Survey with a Detailed Discussion of the Piccioni Target
(1964)This paper is by no means intended to be a conclusive and complete report of the Argonne National Laboratory 'Zero Gradient Synchrotron'. Neither my background or the short period of my work there allows such a statement. ... -
Atomic Force Microscopy Analysis of the Striated Muscle Molecule Titin
(2004)The following study involves the use of a molecular force probe (MFP) to explore the mechanical behavior of a protein found in vertebrate striated muscle. The two topics of primary concern are the generation of passive ... -
Autocorrelation and Fourier Analysis for Detecting Periodic Cell Potentials in a Simulated Inhibitory Neural Network
(2003-12-23)The field of Computational Neuroscience is best described as a mathematical approach to the study of neural systems reducing neural systems to a set of computational tasks. Computer models are an important part of this ... -
Automated Computer control of Saccadic Eye Movement Measurements
(1980)The purpose of this paper was to investigate saccadic eye movements made in response to specific target stimuli, and hopefully learn something about how the eyeball's position is controlled in humans. Most of the work ... -
Automating Acoustic Transients Research with Labview Software and the GPIB
(1991)The focus of this project has been shifting continuously throughout the quarter between the study of laboratory automation and the study of specific phenomena using laboratory automation. The result is a project that ... -
Automating the Detection of Magnetic Flux Ropes Using Data Mining Techniques
(2014)Our reliance on space-borne and ground-based technological systems has made us susceptible to the adverse conditions in the space environment. These conditions can cause disruption of satellite operations, electric power ... -
Automation of the Franck Hertz Experiment
(1983)We have built and tested a computer controlled Franck Hertz experiment. This includes the circuitry to interface the experiment with an Apple II microcomputer equipped with a commercial Analog to Digital and Digital to ...
