Evaluation of a digital communication device for railroad worker safety
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This thesis documents the testing of a prototype of a smartphone to be used by roadway workers and dispatchers that was based in a wireless data link service. The main purpose of using a smartphone in railroad communications ... -
Evaluation of a direct time integration scheme for dynamic analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Direct integration schemes are important tools used in the dynamic analysis of many structures. It is critical that the solutions obtained from these schemes produce accurate results. Currently, one of the most widely used ... -
Evaluation of a displacement-body model for hypersonic shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)In this thesis, a displacement-body model for strong-interaction shock-wave/boundary-layer interaction (SBLI) is presented and evaluated. The model considers 2-D flow over a flat plate with an adiabatic wall. The separation ... -
