Mathematical Modeling and Computation of Real-Time Problems
No full textThis book covers an interdisciplinary approach for understanding mathematical modeling by offering a collection of models, solved problems related to the models, the methodologies employed, and the results using projects and case studies with insight into the operation of substantial real-time systems. The book covers a broad scope in the areas of statistical science, probability, stochastic processes, fluid dynamics, supply chain, optimization, and applications. It discusses advanced topics and the latest research findings, uses an interdisciplinary approach for real-time systems, offers a platform for integrated research, and identifies the gaps in the field for further research. The book is for researchers, students, and teachers that share a goal of learning advanced topics and the latest research in mathematical modeling

Modeling of Nonlinear Propagation Effects in Ultrasound Exposimetry
No full textAccurate measurements of ultrasound safety parameters is a constant priority, given the imaging modality’s unprecedented usage and cost-effectiveness. Both research and business institutions are interested in the biological limiting factors of ultrasound resolution and penetration, making ultrasound exposimetry a necessary field of ongoing study. Traditionally, ultrasound parameters have been 36 MICHIGAN ACADEMICIAN measured in water with a derating factor applied to realize the differences in tissue. In recent decades, tissue-mimicking (TM) samples have been used in place of water to gain more accurate data. These samples would, ideally, exhibit the same attenuation, diffraction, and non-linear properties as normal tissue, while at the same time being easy to reproduce and preserve. A new TM material has been constructed which manifests many of these desired qualities— it is the goal of this paper to research how well this TM material corresponds to tissue in the resultant beam profile. Measurements of absolute pressure in the far field are used to extrapolate the important parameters inherent in the TM material. These measurements are carried out using a calibrated, mechanically positioned hydrophone and a focused single-element transducer. The calculated parameters are then compared to computationally expected values for real tissue
Autonomous Vehicle Lateral Controller Analysis and Comparison for Multiple Controller Strategies
No full textIn an autonomous vehicle there needs to be a robust control strategy capable of calculating the optimal inputs to the vehicle. Autonomous systems control the vehicle through the turning of the steering wheel, application of the brakes, and generating torque at the powertrain. Lateral and longitudinal vehicle motion are the two main control considerations for autonomous vehicles with the former focusing on the steering wheel and the latter on the brakes and throttle. The Kettering University AutoDrive team is tasked with creating these control strategies and applying them to a Chevrolet Bolt. The focus of this thesis is on the creation and testing of various lateral control strategies in simulation. The simulation environment and controls are both implemented in Simulink and MATLAB software. The performance of each controller tested is compared and analyzed in terms of how well they can follow a path as well as how much lateral acceleration the controller creates. Through the process of completing this thesis a novel form of lateral control was created, named Garrow Control, and the optimal controller is selected for the purposes of use in the fourth year of the SAE AutoDrive competition. The novel contributions of this thesis are the comparison of various lateral control strategies in the application of the AutoDrive competition and the creation of a new form of lateral control
3/24/2021: Program Change - Master of Engineering (General)
No full textSummary of changes and rationale
The Master of Engineering (General) degree is designed for engineering professionals working in the mobility (automotive) industry. Students can broaden their skill sets for subjects including Autonomous Vehicles, Vehicle Electrification and Artificial Intelligence. All students must complete two mobility systems fundamentals courses (which two depend on your undergraduate degree), courses on automotive controls and signal processing, two management courses, and four technical courses.
This program is being designed for delivery as part of our Walsh College partnership
