Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID) can occur when laminated composite material is subject to impact, i.e. from runway debris or dropped tools, and may result in a significant reduction in the compressive strength of composite structures. A component containing BVID subjected to…
The primary goal of this thesis is to implement the HD Photo encoding algorithm using Verilog HDL in hardware. The HD Photo algorithm is relatively new and offers several advantages over other digital still continuous tone image compression algorithms and is currently under revi…
Natural gas systems are becoming more and more complex as the usage of this energy source increases. Mathematical models are used to design, optimize, and operate increasingly complex natural gas pipeline systems. The fully implicit finite difference method is used to solve the …
By leveraging the enormous amount of computational capabilities, scientists today are being able to make significant progress in solving problems, ranging from finding cure to cancer -- to using fusion in solving world's clean energy crisis. The number of computational component…
