Concrete CanoeTianye Wang and Yuqian Jia Mentor(s): Chien-Chung Chen and Robert Rescot Undergraduate Oral Presentation The American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) was founded in 1852 and represents more than 145, 000 members of the civil engineering profession worldwide. It is America’s oldest national engineering society. Concrete canoe competition is a part of the annual American society of civil engineering student conference. The major purpose of the competition is to provide engineering students with a way to apply engineering principles learned in the classroom. This year’s team work on the concrete canoe as the senior design project in two semesters in Purdue Calumet University. This year’s concrete canoe team will design and build a new concrete canoe for the concrete canoe competition on April 17, 2015 at Notre Dame University. And the design paper by the last year’s concrete canoe team would be great reference data to research and analysis in order to build a lighter and stronger concrete canoe for this year.
Mentor(s): Xiaoli Yang Undergraduate Oral Presentation The Online Grocery Store Resource is an online open source store asset that small companies can afford to adapt into their own stores with the help of instruction manuals. The resource will be provided for free as an example for companies and students to learn from, as well as a resource to help small companies compete with the large companies that have private online resources. An online grocery store was designed and created by implementing two databases and web-interface linking. J2EE™, MySQL™, Apache Tomcat™ and HTML technologies were used during the project. The online store will allow customers to register, shop online, and save information. Also, the online store will allow the manager to edit and administrate the database and website. This report describes the process of designing the database and web-interface building. Both completed tasks and suggested future tasks are included. /
Mentor(s): Besma Smida Undergraduate Oral Presentation In this project, a two-way communication model will be constructed. And this model will be used in optimizing the data rate with limited feedback. A generalized framework for feedback will be created in two-way communication network. In this framework, packets consist of three parts: training for estimating channel, feedback and data bits, where all parts are over noise. GNU Radio® is a free software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software-defined radios and signal processing systems. GNU Radio® will be installed on Ubuntu System（14.04） which is a Debian-based Linux operating system, with Unity as its default desktop environment. GNU radio® can connect the USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) hardware to transmit and receive signals and data. After building the wireless system, a very simple method will be used to send signal. After passing low pass filter, a series of signal is directly sent into USRP hardware to send signal. In next step, the wireless system will be used to experiment with the different allocating resources for find achievable throughput and tradeoff in each direction. GNU radio and the USRP also can be used to programming the transmitter block and receiver block to send and receive signals for this project.
Mentor(s): Nicoleta Tarfulea Undergraduate Oral Presentation Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection persists in patients despite years of antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Proviral latency is established early in infection, even in patients who are treated with HAART within the first weeks of infection. Latently infected memory CD4+ T cells constitute the major reservoir of viral persistence in cases on ART and can replenish systemic infection following an interruption of therapy. We present a mathematical model to investigate theoretically and numerically the effect of latently infected cells in the presence of immune effectors in HIV pathogenesis. Additionally, by introducing drug therapy, we assess the effectiveness of treatments consisting of a combination of several antiretroviral drugs. Assembly Line Robot OptimizationLiu Liyuan Mentor(s): Masoud Mojtahed Undergraduate Oral Presentation Assembly Line Robot Optimization is a senior design project collaborated by a colorant plant near Chicago. The robot is a stacking robot, which is stack cases into pallets for the transportation. There are two different types’ cases, gallon and quart, filling in two different assembly line in this plant, and this robot is responsible for stacking of both lines. The main purpose is to improve the robot efficiency and the system usability. The research methods include motion and time analysis, robot modeling, and system simulation. Generally, this project can be divided into three primary tasks. First, motion and time analysis is applied to reduce redundant movements, to reschedule movements’ order, and to decrease time usage. In this step, the robot efficiency has been promoted about twenty percent. Then, robot modeling concentrates on the optimization of specific robot movements. Combined with the robot 3D modeling and the animation made by the modeling software, 3ds Max, the original and optimized action units are displayed. Finally, the phase of system simulation pays attention to the evaluation of system usability. Using software Flexsim to simulate the whole system, the feasibility of this system has been directly demonstrated, and the increasing in efficiency can be estimated. The main point of this project is to use different methods improving the robot efficiency and system usability. The final achievements of this project include the at least thirty percent improvement of system efficiency and ten percent profit increasing.
