Abstract:
The problems of combining ideas of phase shifting interferometry (PSI) and synthetic-wavelength techniques to extend the phase measurement range of conventional single-wavelength PSI are investigated. This combination of PSI and synthetic-wavelengths gives multiple-wavelength phase-shifting interferometry the advantages of: (1) larger phase measurement range and (2) higher accuracy of phase measurement. Advantages, error sources, and limitations of single-wavelength PSI are discussed. Some practical methods to calibrate the piezoelectric transducer (PZT), used to phase shift the reference bea

Abstract:
Unreinforced masonry (URM) construction, which has been widely used in the United States, presents a large threat to life safety and regional economic development because of its poor seismic resistance. In this research, the nonlinear seismic properties of URM structures were investigated via a quasi-static test of a full-scale two-story URM building and associated analytical and numerical studies. The tests of the 24ft. by 24ft. in plan 22ft. high URM building revealed that the damage was characterized by (1) the formation of large discrete cracks in the masonry walls and (2) the rocking an

Abstract:
Hybrid polymer laminates of polycarbonate and PMMA have generated considerable interest among researchers as an alternative to traditional glass armours because of their potential for reduced cost and weight. Generally, the development of ballistic armour is carried out experimentally which is an expensive task in terms of time and cost. Numerical simulation provides a much greater facility to understand the phenomenon of ballistic impact and the effects of various parameters on the response to such impact. In addition it provides an easy means of comparing the impact performance of different

In the zinc slag fuming process, zinc is extracted from lead blast furnace slag by reduction with a coal/air mixture injected into the slag through submerged tuyeres. The furnace is constructed of water-cooled jackets to contain the molten bath and freeze a protective slag layer. The slag layer greatly reduces vessel wear caused by the corrosive and violently agitated bath. However, the jackets are known to develop cracks in the working face panel that initiate on the slag face and propagate towards the water cavity. If the cracks reach the water cavity explosions may result should the molten

An expected cost model was developed for failure detection in series systems under imperfect testing. Type I and type II error probabilities are included and single-pass sample paths are required. The model accounts for the expected costs of testing components, false positive termination, and no-defect-found outcomes. Based on the model, a heuristic was developed to construct the cost minimizing testing sequence. The heuristic algorithm utilizes elementary arithmetic computations and has been successfully applied to a variety of problems. Furthermore, the algorithm appears to be globally co

Abstract:
This thesis investigates Goodness-of-Fit tests for parametric regression models. With the help of sufficient dimension reduction techniques, we develop adaptive-to-model tests using projection in both the fixed dimension settings and the diverging dimension settings. The first part of the thesis develops a globally smoothing test in the fixed dimension settings for a parametric single index model. When the dimension p of covariates is larger than 1, existing empirical process-based tests either have non-tractable limiting null distributions or are not omnibus. To attack this problem, we propos

A decade has passed since the development of the self-boring pressuremeter (SBPM). Even though the device has been recognized by the geotechnical engineering profession as having high promise for evaluating in-situ stress-strain behavior of soils, its use is limited. In large part, this is due to the fact that there are important unanswered questions about the SBPM test. One of the major issues concerns the influence of drainage in the soil as it is sheared. In clays, the test is assumed to be undrained, but there is no way to control this other than by the rate of loading and no method has be
