  1. 6. Student Intuitions in Statistical Mechanics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikundervisningens didaktik

    Author : Ebba Koerfer; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics education research; statistical mechanics; student reasoning; microstates and macrostates; distinguishable and indistinguishable particles; Boltzmann distribution;

    Abstract : This exploratory case study aimed to investigate patterns in student reasoning in statistical mechanics, in order to identify difficulties and develop ideas for future research. Upper-division undergraduate students, taking a course in statistical mechanics, were interviewed in groups. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development and Use of System Modeler 6DOF Flight Mechanics Model in Aircraft Conceptual Design

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fluida och mekatroniska system

    Author : Niko Erä-Esko; [2022]
    Keywords : Aircraft Conceptual Design; Flight Mechanics; Modelling and Simulation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a tool for conceptual design of a traditional configuration aircraft by using a parametric six degrees of freedom (6DOF) flight mechanics model implemented in the Modelica Language using Wolfram System Modeler. Being first only able to model and simulate the uncontrolled flight of an aircraft with fixed mass and centre of gravity (CG), and requiring detailed aerodynamic parameters as an input, the 6DOF model is improved by developing new features to reduce the number of required inputs while also increasing the data output of the simulations.

  4. 8. Squaring VEGAS -- Multidimensional Integration Using 2D Correlations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Philip Siemund; [2021]
    Keywords : statistics; numerical integration; Monte Carlo integration; VEGAS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Multidimensional integrals are used in many areas of physics; electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, to name a few. Many integrals can not be solved analytically, but can instead be approximated numerically. VEGAS is a Monte Carlo integration algorithm, which specializes it in approximating multidimensional integrals. READ MORE

  5. 9. Classification of Flying Qualities with Machine Learning Methods

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Ola Isaksson; [2021]
    Keywords : Flying Qualities; Machine Learning; Flight Mechanics; Flygkvaliteter; Maskininlärning; Flygmekanik;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this thesis is to evaluate the prospect of machine learning methods being used to classify flying qualities based on simulator data (with the focus being on pitch maneuvers). If critical flying qualities could be identified earlier in the verification process, they can be further invested in and focused on with less cost for design changes of the flight control system.

  6. 10. Influence of different colormaps on the perceptual interpretation of numerical values produced by a self-organizing feature map

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Gabriel Ulander Voltaire; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To visualize important information and generating a well suited colormap to represent the features of interest in a dataset is complicated. Some colormaps provide with less accurate insights of the data. Meanwhile other colormaps can provide effectively a stronger understanding and identifcation of features in the data. READ MORE
