Pulsed-power technology (PPT) consists of electrical hardware relying on the storing and discharging of electrical energy in very short time periods (in the order of several minutes, seconds or less). During the process, energy storage devices (ESD) such as batteries, capacitors or flywheels are charged over a long period and then rapidly discharged to supply an electrical system. PPT load demands typically exceed the total available generation capacity of a system and require ESDs to supplement their draw. The co-existence of PPTs and ESDs is a developing art form in modern power system design, especially in shipboard applications. This paper discusses the evolution of shipboard power and energy system architectures and future considerations in their design to support pulsed-power technology. ESD technologies are reviewed including their technological readiness in supporting megawatt-level PPT loads. One promising form of ESDs, the flywheel energy storage system (FESS), is demonstrated via a time-domain simulation model for a shipboard power system.

Increases in security breaches have resulted in the need for organizations to identify, mitigate, and eliminate potential risks more than ever before. One of the most effective ways to heighten security awareness and reduce its risks is to conduct a thorough risk assessment and consistently audit identified risks. The subjective nature of risk assessments and the lack of a standardized rating scale, however, can produce various outcomes and calculations, leading to an inconsistent analysis of the identified risks. The unstructured risk assessment models and frameworks may lead some organizations to contribute more resources to risks that are of lesser importance than others. This paper will propose a new method to improve the standard risk assessment models. An original risk assessment calculation method will be introduced and analyzed using DeLone and Mclean's IS Success Model.

We present a novel and thorough simulation technique to understand image charge generated from charged particles on a printed-circuit-board (PCB) detector. The simulation technique analyzes how different parameters such as the position, velocity, and charge magnitude of a particle affect the image charge and the amplifier output. It also enables the designer to directly import signals into circuit simulation software to analyze the full signal conversion process from the image charge to the amplifier output. A novel measurement setup using a Venturi vacuum system shoots single particles through a PCB detector containing patterned electrodes to verify our simulation.

Debris basins are often a component of flood control systems in areas that experience flooding, debris flow, and wildfires. Debris basins protect drainage systems and communities in the watershed. This protection is the key benefit of debris basins and has saved thousands of lives throughout the world. Billions of dollars in property damage has been prevented due to the design and construction of these basins throughout the world. Debris basins have a significant impact on the ecosystems where they are placed. The removal of sediment degrades streams below the basin, depletes beaches by removing sediment supply, prevents fish passage, and acts as a barrier for recreation and animal interactions within canyons. Sediment removal costs are also a long-term maintenance concern for many basins in highly urbanized areas. Finding the balance between protection of life and property, the environment, and other beneficial uses of the stream and canyon systems requires further evaluation of the design and placement of debris basins within the natural environment. This paper discusses the need for the basins, historic debris basin configurations, recent advances in basin designs, and the potential benefits to be gained.

Thin liquid films (TLF) have fundamental and technological importance ranging from the thermodynamics of cell membranes to the safety of light-water cooled nuclear reactors. The creation of stable water TLFs, however, is very difficult. In this paper, the realization of thin liquid films of water with custom 3D geometries that persist indefinitely in ambient environments is reported. The wetting films are generated using microscale “mounts” fed by microfluidic channels with small feature sizes and large aspect ratios. These devices are fabricated with a custom 3D printer and resin, which were developed to print high resolution microfluidic geometries as detailed in Reference 26. By modifying the 3D-printed polymer to be hydrophilic and taking advantage of well-known wetting principles and capillary effects, self-sustaining microscale “water fountains” are constructed that continuously replenish water lost to evaporation while relying on surface tension to stabilize their shape. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first demonstration of stable sub-micron thin liquid films (TLFs) of pure water on curved 3D geometries.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) hosts an annual event with various design competitions called E-Fest (Engineering Festival). E-Fest is put on to challenge engineering students across the country to design, build and compete in various competitions. This year select students from UVU's mechanical engineering program have entered E-Fest's Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D (IAM3D) event. This paper will highlight the drone design process and final drone design submitted to that event. The IAM3D event prompts students to use additive manufacturing to solve the current year's design challenge. For the 2020 E-Fest IAM3D event, participates were challenged to design an Unmanned Aerial Racing Cargo Vehicle (U.A.R.C.V) Each team's U.A.R.C.V will be designed using additive manufacturing with an emphasis on the iterative process and designing for the assembly. Each vehicle will be piloted remotely using first person visuals (FPV). Vehicles will compete in a five-team race through an obstacle course picking up and delivering one payload per lap. Designing for the UVU drone was centered around the rapid use of the 3D Printer. Team meetings were held often where the drone was designed, assembled and tested. For each meeting, new parts were designed and printed based on the work that occurred from the previous affair. The drone design changed fast as new physical prototypes were created. The testing aspect included physical evaluations of the drone as well as analysis completed virtually.

Inclusion of geogrid in aggregate base materials is an increasingly popular practice in pavement construction. Geogrid reinforcement can improve the performance of pavements by stiffening the base material and decreasing pavement deformations. The objectives of this research were to establish a possible explanation for why laboratory resilient modulus testing is ineffective for assessing improvements in the stiffness of geogrid-reinforced aggregate base specimens and to recommend possible testing solutions. The scope of the research included one aggregate base material and one type of geogrid. Cyclic loading data were used to calculate the resilient modulus on 200-cycle intervals up to 10,000 cycles, and quick shear data were used to calculate the modulus at 2 percent strain after the conditioning period. Specimens with and without geogrid reinforcement were assessed in the testing. As with other studies, the results do not show a significant benefit of geogrid reinforcement on resilient modulus of the tested material. Indeed, specimens reinforced with geogrid had significantly lower dry densities than specimens without geogrid, which suggests that the geogrid interrupted the aggregate matrix. However, the results do show a significant benefit of geogrid reinforcement on modulus at 2 percent strain of the tested material. Because the modulus at 2 percent strain appears to have promise for evaluating the benefits of geogrid reinforcement in aggregate base materials, further research is recommended to correlate this property with typical pavement design inputs.

In recent times, an increasing amount of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) are being deployed to make power systems more reliable and economical. While these technologies are necessary for realizing a cyber-physical infrastructure for future smart power grids, they also introduce new vulnerabilities in the grid to different cyber-attacks. Traditional methods such as state vector estimation (SVE) are not capable of identifying cyber-attacks while the geometric information is also injected as an attack vector. In this paper, a machine learning based smart grid attack identification method is proposed. The proposed method is carried out by first collecting smart grid power flow data for machine learning training purposes which is later used to classify the attacks. The performance of both the proposed SVM method and the traditional SVE method are validated on IEEE 14, 30, 39, 57 and 118 bus systems, and the performance regarding the scale of the power system is evaluated. The results show that the SVM-based method performs better than the SVE-based in attack identification over a much wider scale of power systems
