Galvanic corrosion of Al/Cu meshes with carbon fibers and graphene and ITO-based nanocomposite coatings as alternative approaches for lightning strikes
(SPRINGER LONDON LTD, 2013-07)Earlier airplane fuselages were made primarily of aluminum alloy sheets, which have very good electrical conductivity. If lightning strikes an aluminum alloy surface, the current generated by the lightning can easily flow ... -
Game theory based demand response algorithm for economical house load scheduling
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)Power system demand variation is a challenging job that needs to be done by power system operators. There have been many studies and research to reduce the peak hour load reduction and reduce the load demand. Most of the ... -
Gender influences on spine loads during complex lifting
(Elsevier, 2003-03)Background context: Previous research has documented differences in spine loading between genders when the imposed load is normalized relative to the size of the person. However, under realistic work conditions the magnitude ... -
Gene delivery with PCL nanofiber in vitro
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2013-05-08)Gene therapy has widely been known to be the promising treatment approach for many diseases, whether acquired or inherited through a genetic disorder. Viral and nonviral vectors are the primary research fields of gene ... -
General logical linear nearest neighbor (LLNN) architecture for fault-tolerant quantum computation
(Wichita State University, 2008-12)We present a general scheme for implementing fault-tolerant quantum computation. We discuss a general two-dimensional architecture of qubits involving only linear nearest neighbor interactions. Between the qubits by using ... -
The general sidelobe cancellation based on linear minimum variance at subarray level
(IEEE, 2018)As the electromagnetic environment becomes more and more complicated with different kind of interference, it is very important to suppress interference for the electromagnetic devices. In this paper, we propose a novel ... -
Generalization of the collision cone approach for motion safety in 3-D environments
(Springer, 2012-02)Avoidance of collision between moving objects in a 3-D environment is fundamental to the problem of planning safe trajectories in dynamic environments. This problem appears in several diverse fields including robotics, air ... -
Generalized gas turbine engine performance
(Wichita State University, 1969-05)This thesis develops methods of generalizing the performance of specific engine components for use in a generalized gas turbine engine performance computer program. This method produces inexpensive engine performance ... -
Generally cylindrical orthotropic constitutive modeling of matrix-filled carbon nanotubes: Transverse mechanical properties and responses
(SAGE Publications, 2018-09-05)The main objective of this article is to introduce exact analytical closed-form solutions for the prediction of effective transverse Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio of a matrix-filled nanotube (i.e., a representative ... -
A generic fusion platform of failure diagnostics for resilient engineering system design
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016)Effective health diagnostics provides benefits such as improved safety, improved reliability, and reduced costs for the operation and maintenance of complex engineered systems. This paper presents a multi-attribute ... -
A generic model-free approach for lithium-ion battery health management
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-12-15)Accurate estimation of the state-of-charge (SoC) and state-of-health (SoH) for an operating battery system, as a critical task for battery health management, greatly depends on the validity and generalizability of battery ... -
A generic probabilistic framework for structural health prognostics and uncertainty management
(Elsevier, 2012-04)Structural health prognostics can be broadly applied to various engineered artifacts in an engineered system. However, techniques and methodologies for health prognostics become application-specific. This study thus aims ... -
A Generic Reliability and Risk Centered Maintenance Framework for Wind Turbines
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)Operation and maintenance (O&M) are significant contributors to the cost of energy in wind industry. To reduce the cost, effective maintenance strategies have become an indispensable part of operational decision-making for ... -
