  • Description: TOPIC: SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE FOR INTERNET OF THINGS MACHINE TO MACHINE SUPPORTING SEASONAL LOAD RESTRICTIONS MANAGEMENT LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A ABSTRACT: Each year during the transition between winter and spring, roadways in the northern states of the United States go through a Frost-Thaw Cycle. The Frost-Thaw Cycle makes the roadways vulnerable to damage by passing heavy trucks; such as logging trucks. Due to this phenomenon, state agencies are forced to make costly repairs to these roadways year after year. The repair costs brought forth concerns and the need for a solution to forecast when roadway agencies should close down roads to avoid the roads being damaged. The research discussed in this thesis explains the general background of the entire project and goes into detail about one specific portion of the project. The portion described in detail is responsible for extracting data from the wireless underground sensors and then packaging the data and posting it to the centralized repository located at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The process used to select the various components is discussed in detail to explain why certain parts and designs were chosen over others. The several design iterations used will be discussed, along with the reasoning for why changes occurred and what changed in each of the iterations. Lastly, an analysis is conducted comparing component's cost and performance to see the cost effectiveness of the final design. NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.

  • Description: TOPIC: MONITORING REAL TIME PAVEMENT CONDITIONS USING AN RFID WIRELESS SENSING NETWORK LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A ABSTRACT: States deal with below freezing weather causing roads and the ground below to freeze. When the ground begins to thaw, ice melts, leaving the ground under the roads softer. Large trucks carrying heavy loads can cause permanent damage to roads when the roads are in a soft state. For this reason, a seasonal load restriction (SLR) policy is implemented to restrict truck loads during the road thaw period. Consequently, SLR imposition results in a lack of profit from trucking and related industry. During the SLR period there are times when the roads could be safe for larger loads. Currently, no cheap real-time method exists for roads to be monitored to allow trucks to change loads based on real-time circumstances. The proposed solution to this problem is to implement an affordable system for monitoring road temperatures and moisture using radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors. To successfully place and remove SLRs, the RFID sensors need to detect the current condition of the pavement and relay the condition to a collector, or RFID reader. The current condition of the pavement is measured through the use of external temperature and moisture sensors. An onboard microcontroller unit (MCU) gathers the measured readings and store them into memory with a corresponding time. The MCU connects to an RF transceiver allowing for the data in memory to be wirelessly transmitted to an RFID reader. Collected data is used by the State Department of Transportation (DOT) to properly decide the real-time road conditions on a daily or hourly basis, effectively allowing the DOT to place or remove restrictions as necessary.

  • Description: TOPIC: HEALTHCARE DATA ANALYSIS USING APACHE HADOOP MAPREDUCE LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A ABSTRACT: The healthcare industries along with the IT industries need systems that can collect and process the ever-growing data of patients. Useful knowledge can be extracted from the generated patient data, which can be in the form of patients EMR (Electronic Personal Record) or PHR (Personal Health Record). However, the RDBMS (Relational database management system)-based framework has the limitations to support big healthcare data. In order to address this problem, a massive data management and analysis solution based on Apache Hadoop Mapreduce is considered. The Hadoop technique has been proved to achieve a better performance as it processes the data in parallel and provides data locality, further reducing the computational time. The technique is also fault tolerant and scalable. In the project, the data analysis techniques based on Hadoop and RDBMS are studied respectively. Experimental results show the advantages and disadvantages of both of the techniques, eventually proving that Hadoop is a more effective approach.

  • Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Milad Rakhsha

  • Contact: Mechanical Engineering Department
  • Description: Mechanical Engineering MS THESIS DEFENSE by Mr. Milad Rakhsha DATE: Monday, June 8th 2015 TIME: 2:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. LOCATION: Textile Building, Room 101E TOPIC: Computational Fluid Dynamics in OpenFOAM for Passive Control of Flow Separation On NACA 63-018 Airfoil Using Vortex Generators and Leading Edge Tubercles ABSTRACT: Fluid flow analysis is carried out numerically on passive geometries as the means to control flow separation on airfoils. Specifically, the effect of vortex generators (VGs) and leading edge tubercles (LETs) are investigated on NACA 63-018 airfoil using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). On one hand, a modified airfoil with double-sided VGs is analyzed for the sole purpose of ultra-high solidity hydrokinetic vertical axis turbines that operate predominantly in the stall region at low tip speed ratios. On the other hand, a modified airfoil with LETs is evaluated as an alternative option to VGs. To this aim, OpenFOAM is used as the CFD package to model the flow over the airfoil in pre-stall and stall regions. A structured mesh in blockMesh dictionary is developed, which provides a powerful framework to study various VGs geometries and their locations parametrically, as well as LETs waviness in terms of wavelength and amplitude. The numerical simulations are carried out using the steady-state solver, simpleFoam, over angle of attacks (α) ranging from 0â—¦ to 18â—¦, with the flow behaving as steady at low α and pseudo-steady at high α. For the low Reynolds number of interest in this study, namely 5×105, the k−ωSST turbulent model offers the best performance in comparison to other turbulent models. The VGs and LETs geometries are configured optimally at one angle of attack in the stall region. Subsequently, the optimal configurations are adopted and tested over 0â—¦ < α < 18â—¦ in order to characterize the lift and drag coefficients of the modified airfoil with VGs and LETs. Results show an increase in lift-to-drag ratio in the stall region using double-sided and non-submerged VGs located at 10% of the chord length. However, the modified airfoil with LETs did not show improvement in lift, drag, and lift-to-drag ratio in comparison to standard shape airfoil.
