Title: Eigenparticles: characterizing particles using eigenfaces

Abstract

The shape characteristics of particles have a pinnacle role in microsopic and macroscopic features of a system. Several studies have highlighted the need for considering deviations from a spherical representation of particles for accurate modeling of granular and multiphase flow systems. Using a shape factor, sphericity or roundness parameter alone is proven to be inadequate to capture the physical phenomena. In the present study we propose a novel metric based on the pattern recognition method Eigenfaces, coining the technique ‘Eigenparticles’. Using this technique we create a single statistical distribution of basis shapes to describe the morphological composition. The proposed technique is successfully validated with test shapes and applied to real particles. As a result, when compared with a state-of-the-art Fourier based method, ‘Eigenparticles’ performs favorably, clearly distinguishing the different particles.

3-D world modeling with updating capability based on combinatorial geometry

Conference Goldstein, M ; Pin, F G ; de Saussure, G ; ...

This paper describes a 3-D world modeling technique using range data. Range data quantify the distances from the sensor focal plane to the object surface, i.e., the 3-D coordinates of discrete points on the object surface are known. The approach proposed herein for 3-D world modeling is based on the Combinatorial Geometry (CG) Method which is widely used in Monte Carlo particle transport calculations. First, each measured point on the object surface is surrounded by a small sphere with a radius determined by the range to that point. Then, the 3-D shapes of the visible surfaces are obtained by takingmore »« less
Final Technical Report: Using Solid Particles as Heat Transfer Fluid for use in Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Plants

Technical Report Lattanzi, Aaron ; Hrenya, Christine

In today’s industrial economy, energy consumption has never been higher. Over the last 15 years the US alone has consumed an average of nearly 100 quadrillion BTUs per year [21]. A need for clean and renewable energy sources has become quite apparent. The SunShot Initiative is an ambitious effort taken on by the United States Department of Energy that targets the development of solar energy that is cost-competitive with other methods for generating electricity. Specifically, this work is concerned with the development of concentrating solar power plants (CSPs) with granular media as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) from the solarmore »« less

Integrating Sphere-Based Nephelometer for UAS Applications

Technical Report Schloesser, Herbert ; Moosmuller, Hans

The goal of this DoE Phase II SBIR project was to build prototypes that demonstrate a novel concept for a highly compact, yet sensitive (< 1 Mm-1) integrating nephelometer measuring aerosol scattering at three wavelengths (blue, green, and red), that are capable of deployment on lightweight airborne platforms such as UASs. The Nephelometer design aimed for a compromise between different design criteria including size/weight, detection limit, power consumption, time resolution; there is no free lunch, improving performance in one criterion leads to penalties in others. Specifically, for current, state-of-the-art, photon-counting nephelometers, the detection limit is inversely proportional to the squaremore »« less
Applicability of discrete element method with spherical and clumped particles for constitutive study of granular materials

Journal Article Qu, Tongming ; Wang, Min ; Feng, Yuntian - Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

Discrete element method (DEM) has been intensively used to study the constitutive behaviour of granular materials. However, to what extent a real granular material can be reproduced by virtual DEM simulations remains unclear. This study attempts to answer this question by comparing DEM simulations with typical features of experimental granular materials. Three groups of models with spherical and clumped particles are investigated from four perspectives: (i) deviatoric stress and volumetric behaviour; (ii) critical state behaviour; (iii) stress-dilatancy relationship; and (iv) the evolution of principal stress ratio against axial strain. The results demonstrate that DEM with spherical or clumped particles ismore »« less

Line-Based Object Recognition using Hausdorff Distance: From Range Images to Molecular Secondary Structure

Journal Article Guerra, C ; Pascucci, V - Image and Vision Computing Journal

Object recognition algorithms are fundamental tools in automatic matching of geometric shapes within a background scene. Many approaches have been proposed in the past to solve the object recognition problem. Two of the key aspects that distinguish them in terms of their practical usability are: (i) the type of input model description and (ii) the comparison criteria used. In this paper we introduce a novel scheme for 3D object recognition based on line segment representation of the input shapes and comparison using the Hausdor distance. This choice of model representation provides the flexibility to apply the scheme in different applicationmore »« less
