BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER. A Thesis. Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements ... The reliability of automobile brake components is a very important issue from thepoint of view of safety. This thesis presents a combined experimental and numericalstress analysis of a vacuum booster. The booster consists of a thin-walled, closed shellthat contains a diaphragm and a mechanical control system. The master cylinder whichprovides hydraulic pressure to the components on the wheels, is mounted directly on thebooster shell using threaded bolts. The booster under consideration developed crack nearone of these bolts during an endurance test. The numerical stress analysis conducted heredemonstrated that significant stress concentration can be present on the booster shell nearthese mounting bolts. The numerical model was validated by direct comparison ofmeridional strains to experimental measurements at selected location...

Peluchi: Product Development of a Programmable Robotic Toy to Stimulate Interest ...... toymakers witnessed an increase in sales of robotic toys [3]. Additionally ...Statistically speaking, science, technology, and engineering are male dominated fields. Peluchi is a second-generation prototype of a programmable robotic toy targeted towards young girls in hope of promoting more interest in these areas. Peluchi is an educational toy designed to both appeal to girls aesthetically and stimulate them creatively and intellectually. The toy began as a group project for a class called SP. 779: Advance Toy Product Design in the fall of 2009. It existed as a much simpler prototype with a limited set of programmable actions. Since then, the group has continued to develop beta prototype within the course of a semester under the class 2.752: Design of Mechanical Products. Additional work has been done to add complexity and allow more user customization. This is achieved through the addition of modular accessories disguising different servos and sensors that can be plugged into the base unit. The prototype itself was also refined to be more seamless and robust. Analysis and extensive design work were concentrated on the custom ports for the accessories. Finally, manufacturability and marketing strategies were then explored and future plans were considered for the toy. Thesis Supervisor: Maria C. Yang Title: Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Systems...

The structural analysis and design aspects of a four story reinforced – concrete building, designed and built in Salem, Tamilnadu State, India, is described herein. The design was referred to the second author for proof checking. The building is an apartment complex proposed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board . This is a reinforced concrete framed building. This was done at the PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India, as a part of senior thesis design at WPI, in Worcester MA, 01609 at the India Project Centre at PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India, for a period of 7 weeks as a residential student project. The students names are Frederic Carrie, Abraham Pinales and Antonio Durate. This was accomplished as their project centre in PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, India, during the year 1998. This was part of the degree requirements for BSCE in Civil and Environmental Engineering at WPI....

Bachelor of ...Al-Qaeda‘s retreat into the virtual world of networks has resulted in the mystification of its organisational structure. Studying the history of this organisation through the perspective of its communication practices can, however, clarify its structure. To understand Al-Qaeda now, this thesis asks: ―If there are links between Al-Qaeda‘s usage of Converged Communication Technologies (CCTs) and changes within its organisational structure, then how may a history of Al-Qaeda help explain the significance of those links?
