Analyze transition state of move rate changes with simulation -- FULL TEXT IS NOT AVAILABLE

Nagabhushana, Keshav Prasad (2006-12)

In today’s competitive world, on time delivery is one of the most important factors while meeting customer demand. If organizations focus only on the invention and not on value from the customer’s point of view, principles ...
ANN model to predict burr height and thickness

Manjunatha, Nikethan Narigudde (2007-05)

The drilling of metals produces undesirable projections at the surface of the hole called burrs, which are very costly to remove from the work piece. Any effort involved in simplifying the drilling process that decreases ...
Application of a six degrees of freedom adaptive controller to a general aviation aircraft

Lemon, Kimberly Ann (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

In an effort to increase general aviation safety, a simplified model reference adaptive control (MRAC), adapting to modeling error with only a bias neuron, is applied to a desktop simulation of the Hawker Beechcraft Corporation ...
Application of probabilistic fracture mechanics for life prediction of metallic materials

Augustinus, Justin (WIchita State University, 2007-12)

A statistically based analytical method was developed to improve the reliability of fatigue failure predictions for metallic components of various geometric configurations subjected to constant amplitude fatigue loads. The ...
Application of revenue management principles in warehousing of a third party logistics firm

Venkitachalam, Prakash (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

As global business landscape becomes more competitive, new and innovative methods to stay ahead of the competition are imperative. Profits being the bottom line of every business, margins are shrinking in the face of extreme ...
Application of sandwich beam in automobile front bumper for frontal crash analysis

Donga, Amarnath (Wichita State University, 2011-12)

The study of energy-absorbing behavior in sandwich beams under static loading has become the basis for the design of crashworthy structure in automobile applications. Unlike metals, composite sandwich materials display ...
Application of stochastic control and robust stability of singularly perturbed unified systems

Kim, Dongwook (2006-05)

The unified approach and singular perturbation theories are two of the most highly recognized and rapidly developed areas in the control field recently. In this thesis, a stochastic optimal controller design using state ...
An architecture for obtaining VoIP session encryption keys in a Calea compliant network.

Guhl, Stephen D. (Wichita State University, 2008-05)

A number of laws have been passed in recent decades governing the wiretapping and interception of conversations on the PSTN and recently the internet. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) passed ...
Are the threshold limit values (TLVS®) for lifting proposed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists independent of gender and anthropometry?

Zarzar, Muci Jose Chali (Wichita State University, 2010-05)

Low back disorders remains the top musculoskeletal disorder across several industries, where lifting is commonly associated as a major risk factor in the workplace. Researchers have developed numerous assessment methods ...
