  • Description: Mechanical Engineering MS Project Presentation by Mr. Joshua James Banez DATE: April 24, 2024 TIME: 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. LOCATION: Science & Engineering (SENG), Room 110 (Materials Science Lab) Zoom link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6854837191?pwd=YmZJY3liZjRiM1NXT1VJNnlpMi9uUT09 (Contact scunha@umassd.edu or mraessi@umassd.edu for the Meeting ID# and Passcode) TOPIC: Advancing the AST Probe Calibration Process through Computational and Experimental Analyses and Novel Fixture Design ABSTRACT: Ametek Brookfield's Advanced Sensing Technology (AST) probe calibration process currently takes over 109 hours to fully complete, which is very long and costly. By shortening the calibration process, lead-times on AST instruments could be decreased, more probes could be calibrated, and the cost to manufacture would be reduced. AST probes are high-tech and precise measurement tools used in a variety of applications to report temperature and viscosity of the desired fluid. The calibration process for such an instrument requires time in an environmental chamber for three different cycles: the burn-in cycle, the air cycle, and the oil cycle. The burn-in cycle is a 27-hour process that cycles the temperature to set a base for the AST probes. The probes are then put through a 16-hour calibration where the probes are suspended in air and then a 66-hour calibration where the probes are submersed in a calibrated oil standard. The solution chosen to speed up calibration required re-design of the current tray fixture for holding the oil in the calibration cycle. The current fixture takes up a lot of mass in the system during both the air and oil cycles of the calibration process. This mass leads to a greater heat capacity in the system which, in turn, adds to the time it takes for the system to come to steady state at each calibration point. The project involved both designing a new fixture and analyzing the time that could be saved in the calibration cycle. Experimental testing with prototypes was then used alongside the simulation to provide more accurate results. Using a combined knowledge of heat transfer, thermal systems, design, and manufacturing engineering this project was able to create a novel fixture that reduced the heat capacity in the system by 31.65% during the oil calibration. This led to an estimated time savings of 33 hours, or 50%, for the just oil cycle from the simulation analysis. The prototypes were machined and experimentally tested to show an actual time savings for the oil cycle of 29.8 hours resulting in an oil cycle that takes only 54.85% of the current time. The new design delivers similar levels of accuracy in the calibration process, while significantly shortening the process.

  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: SMAST EAST 101-103 and via Zoom Abstract: The 2023 book titled "Endangered Species: Chronicles of the Life of a New England Fisherman and the F/V Ellen Diane" describes 55 years fishing on the Northwest Atlantic, including sea stories, science, and management. The seminar will summarize this memoir of commercial fisherman, who is a biologist and graduate of Boston University, and perspectives on sustainable fishing practices. Biography: David Goethel retired from commercial fishing in 2022 and splits his time with his wife, Ellen, and parrots, Huey and Stuart, between Hampton, New Hampshire, and Stuart, Florida. In Stuart, he surf casts for pompano and other species. In Hampton, he fishes recreationally for the wide range of species in the Gulf of Maine. The author remains active in both science and fishery management at both the state and federal level, serving on one council advisory panel and one ASMFC advisory panel. He also serves on two volunteer fishing organizations' boards of directors, helping to promote sustainable fishing practices. David continues to promote cooperative research, scientists and fishermen working on research projects together to aid in solving the many problems that still plague fishery management.

  • Description: Topic: Dataset Generation for Deep Learning to Authenticate Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) at Physical Layer for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Transportation Infrastructure Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93281343753 Meeting ID: 932 8134 3753 Passcode: 518247 Abstract: A wireless sensor network (WSN) for structural health monitoring (SHM) is a network with autonomous, spatially distributed sensor nodes that communicate wirelessly in a cooperative way to monitor physical or environmental conditions. WSN for SHM has garnered interest for protecting transportation infrastructure for the safe operation and maintenance of bridges due to their ability to collect real-time data. Two concerns that arise when designing and deploying these systems are energy consumption and information security. Limited battery capacity on sensor nodes, especially on bridges, can significantly shorten WSN's lifetime. WSNs are left vulnerable to attacks on data integrity, confidentiality and availability from malicious actors masquerading as sensor nodes. This thesis proposes a scheme to protect data transmissions in WSNs for SHM without sacrificing energy consumption. The scheme solves these problems by combining state-of-the-art technologies in deep learning, radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting and RF energy harvesting. RF Fingerprinting leverages process imperfections in transceivers that can be used in a deep neural network to authenticate known sensor nodes. Deep learning is also less computationally intensive than more common forms of data security like encryption and decryption. RF energy harvesting harnesses electromagnetic waves to convert to electrical energy that powers sensor nodes wirelessly. Deep learning requires a dataset to train the model and each device needs its own dataset generation just like collecting fingerprints to establish a directory. This unique feature due to WSN for SHM of transportation infrastructure calls for the need for a framework to systematically generate datasets from individual sensor nodes. This brings out a novel approach of common applications in deep learning. The work shown acts as a proof of concept for this framework of data generation by building a prototype to present its feasibility through experimentation with using RF energy harvesting. This work also provides a framework for generating a dataset of device RF fingerprint to be used in a deep learning network to authenticate each sensor node.

  • Description: Topic: Network-less Wireless Sensing for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Bridges: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Investigations Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A Zoom Conference Link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/93281343753 Meeting ID: 932 8134 3753 Passcode: 518247 Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly advanced the application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), particularly for civil engineering infrastructure such as bridges. Despite the advancements, the widespread application of WSNs in SHM remains hindered by their limited network lifetime, posing a significant hurdle to their adoption. Furthermore, IoT and WSNs open a new attack surface. Designing SHM systems with wireless sensors utilizing no network allows system resiliency to cyber-attacks. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been heralded for their potential to overcome these limitations through secure and efficient data collection. This thesis expands on the existing UAV application by proposing a novel UAV-assisted WSN system that employs Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as the communication protocol for synchronized data gathering in SHM systems. Our design diverges from traditional multi-hop WSNs by leveraging UAVs as mobile data sinks, reducing the energy burden on individual sensor nodes, and significantly prolonging the sensor's operational life. Through an analytical study, we demonstrate that our UAV-BLE system offers a remarkable improvement in network lifetime in comparison to conventional network routed WSNs. Additionally, the use of BLE facilitates a lightweight authentication scheme, providing secure wireless communication between sensor nodes and the UAV. Thus, this novel approach enhances the overall robustness and longevity of SHM systems. A proof-of-concept implementation utilizing a PASCO bridge kit equipped with wireless load cell sensors, demonstrates the feasibility of our approach. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first exploration of a BLE-centric synchronization scheme in the context of SHM, marking a significant leap toward secure, safe, reliable, and efficient monitoring of civil engineering structures.
