Experimental optimization of curvature sensors

A fiber-optic sensor of curvature is made with the sensitivity sufficient to make it ideal for measurement of deflection of structures under mechanical loading. Typically, deflection-curvatures are extremely small, with the curvature-radii in the kilometre range. Although this sensor is intensity modulated,

Estimation of the Time of Concentration with High-Resolution GIS Data: Limitations of Existing Methods and Analysis of New Methods

Differences in the calculation of the time of concentration using the velocity method result from different degrees of discretization along the longest flowpath in the watershed. We examined an idealized system for which an analytical solution could be derived. Next, we studied a dataset compiled from watersheds across the State of Maryland, for which the observed time of concentration was known.

Evaluation of Weak Relations in TracFeed

This report is a master degree thesis in electronics that examines if weak relations can be used in TracFeed. TracFeed is a simulation tool designed to aid in the dimensioning of the power supply system for electrical railroads. The program was originally developed by Adtranz and is today
