A Real-time Implementation of Rendering Light Field Imagery for Generating Point Clouds in Vision Navigation 

Rose, Christopher (2017-12-11)
This dissertation develops a real-time implementation of rendering perspective and refocused imagery from a light field camera for the generation of sparse point clouds using a traditional stereo camera approach, a ...

Rechargeable Batteries Based on Specific Nonconjugated Conductive Polymers; Electrical, Optical and Structural Studies 

Ramamurthy, Veeraraghavan (2007-05-15)
Rechargeable batteries based on specific nonconjugated conductive polymers have been studied and developed. Quadratic electro-optic effect and electron paramagnetic resonance characterization of a specific polymer was ...

Simultaneous Localization Auto-Calibration and Mapping of Ground Vehicles 

Britt, Jordan (2016-06-17)
This dissertation advances the state of the art of sensor auto-calibration by presenting a generic solution and analysis to the 3D sensor auto-calibration problem, as well as to the 2D simultaneous localization and ...

Some Studies on Modeling and Simulation of a Disc Brake System for Squeal Prediction 

Ahuja, Nitesh (2006-08-15)
Most mechanical systems that involve a sliding contact experience some degree of friction induced self-excited vibration. A well known example is brake squeal which is a top concern for automotive companies, who must spend ...

Some Techniques in the Control of Dynamic Systems with Periodically Varying Coefficients 

Zhang, Yandong (2007-12-15)
The goal of this dissertation is to develop control system design methods for dynamic systems with time periodic coefficients. These systems arise naturally in many branches of science and engineering. As a rule, time ...

Static Friction and Junction Growth of Contacting Three-dimensional Sinusoidal Asperities and Rough surfaces 

Wang, Xianzhang (2017-11-30)
It is reported that about one third of the world's primary energy per year was consumed by friction, and about 55% of the machine parts failed due to wear and tear. Therefore, it is important to understand the process ...

Studies of the Off-Resonant Nonlinear Optical Properties of an Organic Molecular Crystal and Specific Nonconjugated Conductive Polymers 

Titus, Jitto (2007-08-15)
In this dissertation, the second order nonlinear optical properties of an organic molecular crystal and the third order off-resonant nonlinear optical properties of specific nonconjugated conductive polymers have been ...

A Study of the Vibrational Reliability Performance of Different Doped Low-Creep Lead-Free Solder Paste and Solder BGA Packages 

Stone, Derrick (2015-07-31)
The growing use of smaller and more powerful electronic components in more varied and adverse environments, especially in regards to mobile consumer electronics, has created the need to better understand how recent lead-free ...

Surface Separation and Contact Resistance Considering Sinusoidal Elastic-Plastic Multiscale Rough Surface Contact 

Wilson, William (2008-12-15)
This thesis considers the multiscale nature of surface roughness in a new model that predicts the real area of contact and surface separation as functions of load. This work is based upon a previous rough surface multiscale ...

Test Methods and Reliability Modeling of Electronic Assemblies under High-G Shock 

Dornala, Venkata Kalyan Reddy (2019-10-28)  ETD File Embargoed
Electronic systems and sub-assemblies undergo a myriad of stresses during operation in their lifetime. Electronics in consumer, aerospace and defense industries increasingly use commercial-off-the-shelf components in their ...

Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Strain in a Tire Under Static Loading and Steady-State Free-Rolling Conditions 

Krithivasan, Vijaykumar (2011-04-11)
This main objective of this work is to predict the operating conditions or the state of a tire based on a wireless sensor suit. First a three dimensional finite element model of a standard reference test tire (SRTT) was ...

Use of sample entropy to study equine gait lameness. 

Rane, Amey (2017-08-21)
Administration of a sedative is occasionally required to perform a nerve or joint block in the horse during the course of a lameness examination. Because sedatives have analgesic properties, we investigated as to whether ...
