Investigation of the effect of different parameters in the drilled hole quality in composite materials
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Two different delamination mechanisms that need to be controlled by the drill geometry and thrust force will be observed in the drilling of composites. The studies which have been done up to now focus on the thrust ... -
Determination of damage area of spacecraft shields impacted by space debris at hypervelocity using an SPH mesh.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Space debris, are objects in Earth orbit consisting of small fragments from spent rocket stages and non-functional satellites. Accumulated in the lower earth orbit, these often cause considerable damage to the spacecraft ... -
Crevice corrosion theory, mechanisms and prevention methods
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)This paper reviews theory and mechanisms of crevice corrosion as well as its prevention methods. Crevice corrosion is one of the most important and harmful forms of localized corrosion that may cause sudden failure of ... -
Beam engine powered circular sawing machine
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)In this project, the output of a Beam Engine is used to drive a circular saw to cut timber. Here, instead of the rotating fly wheel, it is intended to have a rotating circular saw. This rotating circular saw is used to ... -
Experimental study of the effect of a contact conditioner on sliding electrical contacts
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The Electro Magnetic Rail Gun on board with Navy consists of high current carrying copper rails. Aprojectile carrier or armature slides over these rails with very high velocities. Inefficient sliding contact conditions between ... -
Unassisted aircraft landing via co-operative data exchange
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The Air Traffic Controller (ATC) is required to maintain a safe and orderly flow of airplanes in any airport. A fairly recent incident at the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) caused a blackout to the entire control tower and ... -
Transport of flight critical data over internet protocol
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The aviation industry forms an important component of the nation’s critical infrastructure. By considering the issues involved in protecting the operational aspects of the aviation industry, in conjunction with ... -
Security in IP storage networks
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Network security is a very important parameter and is always been a challenge for the emerging technologies especially for high-speed data networks. The storage industry is sprouting at a faster pace with efficient and ... -
New alternate routing scheme with endpoint admission control for low call loss probability in VoIP networks
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Call Admission Control (CAC) is an extension to Quality of Service (QoS) for voice traffic over IP and prevents the over subscription of voice traffic. For real-time delay-sensitive traffic such as voice, it is better ... -
Modified alternator for low wind applications: rat trap generator
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Modified tractor alternator was designed and constructed to suit a 300 W low speed high altitude wind turbine. The tractor alternator did not produce the required power output design speed of the turbine. A modification ... -
Isolating a single qubit in a multi qubit system

Influence of codecs on adaptive jitter buffer algorithm
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Transmitting real-time audio or video applications over the Internet is a challenge in the current networking technology. The motivation for deploying real-time applications includes the reduction in voice communicati ... -
A unified approach to stabilize an arbitrary order discrete or continuous time transfer function with time delay using a pi controller
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)The object in this paper is to find the stability regions of an arbitrary order discrete or continuous time transfer function with time delay. The stability bounds of the proportional integral (PI) controller are found ... -
A secure architecture for the use of RFID at home
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are being adopted rapidly for item-level identification by retail giants such as Walmart. While this technology brings many benefits to consumers, it has also caused a lot of ... -
Mapping a controller from the s-domain to z-domain using Magnitude Invariance Method (MIM).
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)We are presenting a new approach for mapping a continuous time controller to a discrete time controller. Methods traditionally used for this mapping include forward rectangular rule, bilinear rule and zero-pole matching. ... -
