Kalman filter design for large-scale systems by using unified approach
(Wichita State University, 2013-05)In this thesis, a method of designing a Kalman filter for a linear, discrete-time, singularly perturbed stochastic system using the delta operator was introduced. This unified approach, which is based on the delta operator, ... -
Kalman-Bucy filters with singular correlated noises
(IEEE, 1989-06-21)This paper presents a solution to the singular linear minimum-vaviance estimation problem in the discrete time case. An expression for the transfer function of the Kalman-Bucy filter with nonsingular correlated noises is ... -
Kalman-Filter-Based Adaptive Control: flight testing on general aviation aircraft
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2017-09)Sensor noise and turbulence effects have been prevalent issues in control system design. Although a control system may respond well to “clean” input signals and commands in simulation, this may not be the case when a ... -
Key barriers to Industry 4.0 in construction industry
(Association for Industry, Engineering and Management Systems (AIEMS), 2022-12)The construction industry makes significant contributions to the national GDP. The rapid increase in urban population resulted in increased demand for quality and productivity. Industry 4.0 offers an opportunity for the ... -
Key initiatives to improve the machining characteristics of Inconel-718 alloy: Experimental analysis and optimization
(Elsevier, 2022-11-03)Inconel 718 is a heat-resistant Ni-based superalloy widely used, particularly, in aircraft and aero-engineering applications. It has poor machinability due to its unique thermal and mechanical properties. For this reason, ... -
Kinematic analysis of a motorcycle and rider impact on a concrete barrier under different impact and road conditions
(Wichita State University, 2007-12)In many countries, motorcycle crashes constitutes a significant proportion of all road crash fatalities and injuries and safety measures can be successful only if much more attention is devoted to this issue. Several ... -
Kinematic analysis of a motorcyclist impact on concrete barriers under different road conditions
(AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2012)In many countries, motorcycle crashes constitutes a significant proportion of road crash injuries. Several roadside guard systems such as concrete barriers, wire road barriers and steel guard rails are used to protect cars ... -
Kinematic chain based multi-joint capturing using monocular visual-inertial measurements
(IEEE, 2017-09)Combining light-weight visual and inertial modalities for motion capturing has been popular in robotics researches. There exist scale ambiguity, inaccurate pose estimation with little or no baseline, incremental drifts ... -
Kinematics analysis of the chipping process using the circular diamond saw blade
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1999-05)One of the primary goals in the design of a diamond blade cutting system is to reduce the cutting force. By understanding the fundamentals of the kinematics of the sawing operation, these forces can be lowered and even ... -
Kinetics of prepreg epoxy resin curing for aircraft body repair
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2014-04-25)Curing is the cross-linking of polymer chains, which results in toughening of polymer material and it is widely used in bonded composite repair for aerospace components. The main objective of this project is to analyze ... -
Kraus operator formalism for quantum multiplexer operations for arbitrary two-qubit mixed states
(Springer, 2019-12)The dynamics of open quantum systems are described using a set of operators called Kraus operators. In this paper, we show how to find system parameters for a closed system of two qubits undergoing quantum multiplexer ... -
Kraus operator formalism using a reduced Hamiltonian approach on controlled-unitary operations
(Wichita State University, 2017-12)Quantum systems are extremely fragile, and as such, are difficult to isolate from interactions with their environment. Such "open" quantum systems that interact with their environment do not follow the unitary dynamics of ... -
A Kriging Model for dynamics of mechanical systems with revolute joint clearances
(ASME, 2014-07)Over the past two decades, extensive work has been conducted on the dynamic effect of joint clearances in multibody mechanical systems. In contrast, little work has been devoted to optimizing the performance of these ... -
Label-free electrical immunoassay biosensors for early disease diagnosis
(Wichita State University, 2012-05)This thesis focused on developing an inexpensive and user friendly “point- of- care” (POC) device for early disease diagnosis. Proteomics research has elucidated many new proteins as biomarkers that have the potential to ... -
Laplace-based predictive estimation of loss-of-control boundaries on a transport aircraft
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)Loss-of-control events are the greatest contributing factor to accidents amongst commercial aircraft. In this research, an approach to predicting the onset of loss of-control events is developed using a Laplace-based method, ... -
Large-scale online environmental mapping: from theory to implementation
(Wichita State University, 2017-12)Within the context of environmental studies, environmental mapping addresses the monitoring and analysis of physical processes appearing in the nature, such as atmospheric or oceanic transformations. In such studies, ... -
Laser ablation based on-orbit debris removal
(Wichita State University, 2019-07)Space debris are defunct man-made satellites orbiting in the low-earth orbit (LEO) and Geo-synchronous orbit (GEO) orbiting around earth with high velocities posing a serious threat for current and future missions. ... -
Laser Guided Evacuation System
(2011-12-08)The intent of this project is to provide an improved evacuation system for buildings, homes, and other structures under the events of an emergency. The system will incorporate a traveling laser light shown upon the wall, ... -
