Повний текст джерелаThe Space-based Telescope for the Actionable Refinement of Ephemeris (STARE) CubeSat will play an important role in contributing to this nations space situational awareness (SSA), perhaps one day becoming an integral part of the space surveillance network (SSN) to track orbital debris and satellites, both active and inactive. STARE is a pathfinder mission that is expected to show that CubeSat assets can improve the accuracy of space debris ephemeris data and help national assets avoid conjunction. However, STARE cannot do its job if it cannot communicate effectively with the ground architecture. Knowing the functionality of the on board radio is essential to knowing the capabilities and limitations of the spacecraft. STARE is designed to communicate with the Mobile CubeSat Command and Control (MC3) ground station at the Naval Postgraduate School for data collection and analysis. This thesis shows testing and results, analysis and simulation of the STARE radio and the MC3 ground stations.

Повний текст джерелаRevonsuo's Threat Simulation Theory of dreaming asserts that dreaming was selected during human evolution because it has the adaptive function of providing a threat-free context in which threat perception and avoidance can be rehearsed. This study aimed to test the prediction that the threat simulation mechanism will activate differently depending on waking exposure to ecologically valid threat cues. It also compared the impact of waking threat events on dream content with that of waking positive events, as TST asserts that only threat impacts on dream content. Data was collected from three contexts: a high threat context (the Western Cape in South Africa; n=208); a medium threat context (a black southern university in the US; n=34); and a low threat context (North Wales; n=116). Questionnaires included a Most Recent Dream report, details of exposure to walking threatening and positive events, and dreams of such events.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The requirements regarding the quality of engines and vehicles have increased constantly, requiring more and more sophisticated engine testing. At the same time, there is a strong demand to reduce lead time and cost of development. For many years steady state engine testing was the norm using standard principles of power absorption. Since the mid 1980's increasing importance has been attached to the optimisation of transient engine characteristics and the simulation of dynamic real world driving situations on engine test stands. This has led to the use of bi-directional DC or AC regenerative dynamometers a practice now known as dynamic engine testing. Interfacing a computer with vehicle simulation software to an engine on a dynamic test stand and using "hardware in the loop" techniques, enables the simulation of real world driving situations in a test facility. In dynamic engine testing a distinction can be made between simulation testing and transient testing. In simulation testing the set point values are predetermined whereas in transient testing a model generates set point values in real time. Speeds and loads are calculated in real time on the basis of real time measurements. The model can be in the form of a human or driver simulation. This project involved the application of dynamic engine testing to simulating a racing application. It is termed Real Time Full Circuit Driving Simulation System due to the simulation of a race car circling a race track, controlled by a driver model and running the engine on a dynamic test bench in real time using "hardware in the loop" techniques. By measuring the simulated lap times for a certain engine configuration on the test bench in real time, it is possible to select the optimal engine set-up for every circuit. The real time nature of the simulation subjects the engine on the test bench to similar load and speed conditions as experienced by its racing counterpart in the race car yielding relevant results. The racing simulation was achieved by finding a suitable dynamic vehicle model and a three dimensional race track model, developing a control strategy, programming the software and testing the complete system on a dynamic test stand. In order to verify the simulation results it was necessary to conduct actual track testing on a representative vehicle. A professional racing driver completed three flying laps of the Killarney racing circuit in a vehicle fitted with various sensors including three axis orientation and acceleration sensors, a GPS and an engine control unit emulator for capturing engine data. This included lap time, vehicle accelerations, engine speed and manifold pressure, an indicator of driver input. The results obtained from the real time circuit simulation were compared to actual track data and the results showed good correlation. By changing the physical engine configuration in the hardware and gear ratios in the software, comparative capabilities of the system were evaluated. Again satisfactory results were obtained with the system clearly showing which configuration was best suited for a certain race track. This satisfies the modem trend of minimizing costs and development time and proved the value of the system as a suitable engineering tool for racing engine and drive train optimisation. The Real Time Full Circuit Driving Simulation System opened the door to further development in other areas of simulation. One such area is the driveability of a vehicle. By expanding the model it would be possible to evaluate previously subjective characteristics of a vehicle in a more objective manner.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die vereistes om die kwaliteit van enjins en voertuie te verhoog, word daagliks hoër. Meer gesofistikeerde enjintoetse word daarom vereis. Terselfdertyd is dit 'n groot uitdaging om die tydsduur en koste van ontwikkeling so laag as moontlik te hou. Gestadigde toestand enjintoetse, wat op die prinsiep van krag absorpsie werk, was vir baie jare die norm. Vanaf die middel tagtigerjare het die optimering van dinamiese enjinkarakteristieke en die simulasie van werklike bestuursituasies op enjintoetsbanke van al hoe groter belang geword. Die gevolg was die gebruik van twee rigting wisselof gelykstroomdinamometers en staan vandag bekend as dinamiese enjintoetsing. Deur 'n rekenaar met simulasiesagteware aan 'n enjin op 'n dinamiese toetsbank te koppel, word die moontlikheid geskep om enige werklike bestuursituasies van 'n voertuig te simuleer in die enjintoetsfasiliteit. Dinamiese enjintoetse kan opgedeel word in simulasietoetse en oorgangstoestandtoetse. By laasgenoemde genereer 'n "bestuurdersmodel" die beheerwaardes intyds deur te kyk na intydse metings terwyl by simulasietoetse die beheerwaardes vooraf bepaal word. Die "bestuurder" kan in die vorm van 'n persoon of rekenaarsimulasie wees. Die projek behels die toepassing van dinamiese enjintoetse vir renbaansimulasie en staan bekend as'n Intydse, Volledige Renbaansisteem weens die simulasie van 'n renmotor om 'n renbaan, onder die beheer van 'n bestuurdersmodel. Dit geskied terwyl die enjin intyds op 'n dinamiese enjintoetsbank loop en gekoppel is aan die simulasie. Deur die intydse, gesimuleerde rondtetye te analiseer, word die moontlikheid geskep om die enjinkonfigurasie te optimeer vir 'n sekere renbaan. Dit is bereik deur die keuse van 'n gepaste dinamiese voertuigmodel, 'n driedimensionele renbaanmodel, ontwikkeling van 'n beheermodel, programmering van die sagteware en integrasie van die dinamiese enjintoetsstelsel. Die simulasieresultate verkry is gestaaf deur werklike renbaantoetse. 'n Professionele renjaer het drie rondtes van die Killarney renbaan voltooi in 'n verteenwoordigende voertuig wat toegerus was met verskeie sensors o.a. drie as versnellings- en orientasiesensors, GPS en 'n enjinbeheereenheidemmuleerder vir die verkryging en stoor van enjindata. Die sensors het data versamel wat insluit rondtetyd, voertuigversnellings, enjinspoed en inlaatspruitstukdruk. Die korrelasie tussen die simulasie waardes en werklik gemete data was van hoë gehalte. Deur die fisiese enjinkonfigurasie te verander in die hardeware en ratverhoudings in die sagteware, is die vergelykbare kapasiteite van die renbaansimulasie geevalueer. Die resultate was weer bevredigend en die simulasie was in staat om die beste enjinkonfigurasie vir die renbaan uit te wys. Dit bevredig die moderne neiging om koste en ontwikkelingstyd so laag as moontlik te hou. Sodoende is bewys dat die stelsel waarde in die ingenieurswêreld het. 'n Intydse, Volledige Renbaansisteem die skep die geleentheid vir verdere ontwikkeling op verskeie terreine van simulasie. Een so 'n veld is die bestuurbaarheid van 'n voertuig. Deur die model verder te ontwikkel word die moontlikheid geskep om voorheen subjektiewe karakteristieke van 'n voertuig meer wetenskaplik te analiseer.

Повний текст джерелаRF Communication (COMMS) systems where receivers and transmitters are in motion must be proven rigorously over an array of natural RF link perturbations such as Carrier Doppler shift, Signal Doppler shift, delay, path loss and noise. These perturbations play significant roles in COMMS systems involving satellites, aircraft, UAVs, missiles, targets and ground stations. In these applications, COMMS system devices must also be tested against increasingly sophisticated intentional and unintentional interference, which must result in negligible impact on quality of service. Field testing and use of traditional test and measurement equipment will need to be substantially augmented with physics-compliant channel emulation equipment that broadens the scope, depth and coverage of such tests, while decreasing R&D and test costs and driving in quality. This paper describes dynamic link emulation driven by advanced antenna and motion modeling, detailed propagation models and link budget methods for realistic, nominal and worst-case hardware-in-the-loop test and verification.

Повний текст джерелаGenerellt erbjuder elektrisk framdrivning hög verkningsgrad men relativt låg dragkraft. För att avhjälpa detta kan flera jonmotorer sättas samman i en klusterkonfiguration och drivs parallellt. Detta kräver en noggrann utformning av en ram för att rymma de enskilda framdrivningssystemen. Denna ram måste vara modulär för att kunna användas i olika klusterstorlekar och verifiera termiska och mekaniska krav för att säkerställa den nominella driften av motorerna. Föreliggande rapport syftar till att visa designprocessen för en sådan ram, från preliminär modellering till experimentell studie av en prototyp. Detta dokument innehåller en översikt över den iterativa designprocessen, driven av termiska simuleringar gjorda med COMSOL Multiphysics, som ledde till uppfattningen av en 2 motorer och 4 motorer ram. En klumpelementmodell av jonmotorn skapades också för att modellera dess komplexa termiska beteende. Dessutom var den 2 motorer ram studeras mekaniskt med analytiska beräkningar och simuleringar av enkla laddafall med SolidWorks. Slutligen monterades en prototyp baserad på den 2 motorer rammodellen. Prototypen användes för att göra temperaturmätningar medan den är värd för 2 jonmotorer i en vakuumkammare. Temperaturfördelningen i klustret mättes och jämfördes med simuleringsresultat. Termiska simuleringar av den 2 motorer och 4 motorer ramen visade lovande resultat, medan mekaniska simuleringar av den 2 motorer versionen klarade alla krav. Dessutom överensstämde experimentella resultat till stor del med termiska simuleringar av prototypen. Slutligen var klumpelementmodellen mycket användbar för att kalibrera de andra modellerna med sin höga flexibilitet och snabba beräkningstid.

Повний текст джерелаLIU, FU, Ph.D. Comparisons of Subscoring Methods in Computerized Adaptive Testing: A Simulation Study. (2015) Directed by Dr. Terry A. Ackerman. 187 pp. Given the increasing demands of subscore reports, various subscoring methods and augmentation techniques have been developed aiming to improve the subscore estimates, but few studies have been conducted to systematically compare these methods under the framework of computerized adaptive tests (CAT). This research conducts a simulation study, for the purpose of comparing five subscoring methods on score estimation under variable simulated CAT conditions. Among the five subscoring methods, the IND-UCAT scoring ignores the correlations among subtests, whereas the other four correlation-based scoring methods (SEQ-CAT, PC-MCAT, reSEQ-CAT, and AUG-CAT) capitalize on the correlation information in the scoring procedure. By manipulating the sublengths, the correlation structures, and the item selection algorithms, more comparable, pragmatic, and systematic testing scenarios are created for comparison purposes. Also, to make the best of the sources underlying the assessments, the study proposes a successive scoring procedure according to the structure of the higher-order IRT model, in which the test total score of individual examinees can be calculated after the subscore estimation procedure is conducted. Through the successive scoring procedure, the subscores and the total score of an examinee can be sequentially derived from one test. The results of the study indicate that in the low correlation structure, the original IND-CAT is suggested for subscore estimation considering the ease of implementation in practice, while the suggested total score estimation procedure is not recommended given the large divergences from the true total scores. For the mixed correlation structure with two moderate correlations and one strong correlation, the original SEQ-CAT or the combination of the SEQ-CAT item selection and the PC-MCAT scoring should be considered not only for subscore estimation but also for total score estimation. If the post-hoc estimation procedure is allowed, the original SEQ-CAT and the reSEQ-CAT scoring could be jointly conducted for the best score estimates. In the high correlation structure, the original PC-MCAT and the combination of the PC-MCAT scoring and the SEQ-CAT item selection are suggested for both the subscore estimation and the total score estimation. In terms of the post-hoc score estimation, the reSEQ-CAT scoring in conjunction with the original SEQ-CAT is strongly recommended. If the complexity of the implementation is an issue in practice, the reSEQ-CAT scoring jointly conducted with the original IND-UCAT could be considered for reasonable score estimates. Additionally, to compensate for the constrained use of item pools in PC-MCAT, the PC-MCAT with adaptively sequencing subtests (SEQ-MCAT) is proposed for future investigations. The simplifications of item and/or subtest selection criteria in a simple-structure MCAT, PC-MCAT, and SEQ-MCAT are also pointed out for the convenience of their applications in practice. Last, the limitations of the study are discussed and the directions for future studies are also provided.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to design and manufacture an experimentally testable free-piston Stirling engine (FPSE), including a linear electric generator; to develop and validate a theoretical simulation model; to identify problem areas pertaining to its manufacture; and finally to assess the work undertaken, to lay out the groundwork for the future development of a 3 kWe FPSE suitable for incorporation in a solar Stirling dish power generator. A redesigned version of the Beale B- 10B demonstrator engine was manufactured to overcome design diffculties and to simplify testing. The design made use of an electric generator designed at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University. Experimental measurements included piston and displacer motions, hot side and cold side temperatures, working space pressure, electric generator output, as well as heat rejection via a water jacket. Experimental measurements were taken prior to and subsequent to the addition of the electric generator. Indicated power was calculated as 0,659 W at a frequency of 10,99 Hz prior to the addition of the electric generator. The addition of the electric generator was unsuccessful since it was not well matched with the engine. The indicated power calculated was between 0,138 W and 0,144 W for different loads on the electric generator, while the electrical output power ranged from 1,23 mWe to 1,79 mWe. The addition of the electric generator produced non-continuous motion caused by magnetic forces instead of engine pressure variations. The major manufacturing diffculty was the attachment of magnets for the electric generator, but this was overcome with the manufacture of a special assembly jig. The theoretical simulation model was a combination of a third-order and dynamic analysis. Working space values were solved by the application of the conservation of mass, momentum and energy equations for a one-dimensional discretised model of the engine, while the motion of the piston and displacer was determined by applying the equations of motion. The majority of experimental measurements were predicted more accurately when higher heat transfer coeficients were used between the working space and wall temperatures. The theoretical simulation model was used to gain insight into the effect of input parameters on engine operation. The displacer rod diameter was shown to have implications on output power and stability, while it was shown that there is a natural tendency to deliver constant output power at a near-constant frequency over a range of piston loads for an FPSE. It was also shown that the design of an FPSE is complex and that the design of all components should be done in parallel. The control of an FPSE was seen to be both a necessity and can be used to exploit the advantages of the uncoupled nature of an FPSE.
AFRIKKANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om 'n eksperimentele toetsbare vrye-werksuier Stirling enjin te vervaardiging, wat 'n lineêre elektriese kragopwekker insluit; om 'n teoretiese simulasie model te ontwikkel en te yk; om vervaardiging probleme te identi seer; en om die ondernemende werk te assesseer om 'n fondasie te lê vir die toekomstige ontwikkeling van 'n 3 kWe vrye-werksuier Stirling enjin wat by 'n Stirling sonskottel ingelyf kan word. 'n Herontwerpte weergawe van die Beale B-10B demonstrasie enjin was vervaardig om ontwerp probleme te bowe te kom en om die toets daarvan te vereenvoudig. Die ontwerp het gebruik gemaak van 'n elektriese kragopwekker wat by die Departement Elektriese en Elektroniese Ingenieurswese aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch ontwerp is. Eksperimentele metings het die werksuier en verplaser bewegings ingesluit, sowel as die warm kant en koue kant temperature, die werkruimte druk, die elektriese uitset van die kragopwekker, sowel as die hitteuitruiling wat met 'n water verkoelingskringloop gepaard gaan. Eksperimentele metings was geneem voor en na die byvoeging van die elektriese kragopwekker. Kraglewering was bereken op 0,659 W teen 'n frekwensie van 10,99 Hz voordat die elektriese kragopwekker bygevoeg is. Die byvoeging van die elektriese kragopwekker was onsuksesvol omdat die nie gepas was vir die enjin nie. Die kraglewering is bereken op vlakke wat gewissel het tussen 0,138 W en 0,144 W vir die verskillende belastings op die elektriese kragopwekker, terwyl die elektriese uitset gewissel het tussen 1,23 mWe en 1,79 mWe. Die byvoeging van die elektriese kragopwekker het 'n nie-aaneenlopende beweging veroorsaak weens die magnetiese kragte wat dit beinvloed het in plaas van enjindruk variasies. Die belangrikste ontwerpuitdagings was die ontwerp van 'n werksuier en verplaser wat 'n klein toleransie passing kon handhaaf om sodoende 'n seël te verseker terwyl dit aan temperatuur variasies blootgestel was. Die grootste vervaardigingsprobleem was die aanheg van magnete vir die elektriese kragopwekker, maar dit is te bowe gekom deur 'n spesiale voeg te vervaardig. Die teoretiese simulasie model was 'n kombinasie van 'n derde-orde en 'n dinamiese analise. Werkruimte waardes was opgelos deur die toepassing van die behoud van massa, momentum en energie vergelykings vir 'n een-dimensionele gediskretiseerde model van die enjin, terwyl die beweging van die werksuier en verplaser bepaal was deur die toepassing van die bewegingvergelykings. Die meerderheid van die eksperimentele metings was meer akkuraat voorspel wanneer hoër warmteoordrag koë siënte tussen die werkruimte en muurtemperature gebruik was. Die teoretiese simulasie model was gebruik om insig in terme van die e ek van invoer veranderlikes op die enjin gedrag te toon. Daar was getoon dat die verplaserstaaf diameter implikasies het op kragoplewering en stabiliteit, terwyl die natuurlike tendens van 'n vrye-werksuier Stirling enjin gewys was om 'n konstante kraguitvoer te lewer op 'n naby-konstante frekwensie oor 'n reeks werksuier laste. Daar was ook gewys dat die ontwerp van 'n vryewerksuier Stirling enjin kompleks is en dat die ontwerp van alle komponente in parallel gedoen moet word. Die beheer van 'n vrye-werksuier Stirling enjin was gewys om beide noodsaaklik te wees, sowel as gebruik kan word om die unieke voordele van 'n vrye-werksuier Stirling enjin se ongekoppelde natuur te ontgin.

Повний текст джерелаNASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Bantam Robust Guidance Navigation & Control Project is investigating off the shelf navigation sensors that may be inexpensively combined into Kalman filters specifically tuned for launch and orbital vehicles. For this purpose, Marshall has purchased several GPS receivers and is evaluating them for these applications. The paper will discuss the receiver selection criteria and the test equipment used for evaluation. An overview of the analysis will be presented including the evaluation used to determine their success or failure. It will conclude with goals of the program and a recommendation for all GPS users.
