چکیده
ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Punam Saha and Professor Anton Kruger for their time and volunteering some of their summer to help. I would like to thank Professor Er-Wei Bai for all the direction, and always making me examine things more closely. I don't think I've ever met someone more excited about teaching. I'd like to thank Zhijun Cai for all the help on everything graduate school related and support as a research assistant. I'd like to thank Billy Bryant for all the help, interviews, and for sharing his knowledge of electric arc furnaces.

Dynamic Modeling of a Robot Manipulator for Opening the Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is used to produce high quality steel from steel scraps. The EAF uses plasma arc to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal should be drained from the tap hole. Manual tapping operation of the EAF in the hot environment around the furnace is a potentially dangerous and time consuming task for the workers. Therefore, it is ess...
متن کاملPath Planning and Control of an Industrial Robot Used for Opening Tap Hole of an Electric Arc Furnace
The electric arc furnace (EAF) is one of the popular methods of steel production from steel scraps. The plasma arc is used in EAF to generate heat for melting scarp or direct reduced iron (DRI). The liquid metal is drained from the EAF through the tap hole. Nowadays, it is critical to use Automated/robotic tools for opening the tap hole with oxygen lancing. Because many workers have been blinde...
متن کاملFatigue Behavior Analysis of Asphalt Mixes Containing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Steel Slag
This research was conducted in order to evaluate fatigue behavior of asphalt mixes containing Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel slag. After initial evaluation of the properties of EAF steel slag using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electric Microscope (SEM), six sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. Each set were treated replacing various portions of limestone aggregates of the mix wi...
متن کاملThe New Definitions for the Power Terms in Distorted and Unbalanced Conditions and Calculation of these Terms for an Electric Arc Furnace
The rapid increase of non-linear loads in the last three decades has caused electrical quantities such as voltages and currents in 3-phase distribution systems to become distorted waveforms. This paper reviews, explains and discusses some new concepts, definitions and new available theory in the unbalanced and distorted systems. The usefulness of the proposed practical definitions is investigat...
متن کاملElectric Arc Furnace Slag and Blast Furnace Dust, Use for the Manufacture of Asphalt Concrete for Roads
This paper analyzes how feasible it is to use electric arc furnace slag as coarse aggregate, and blast furnace dust as fine aggregate in the manufacture of hot asphalt concrete for roads. Three mixtures were designed using the Ramcodes methodology, the M1 mixture of control with conventional materials, the M2 mixture replacing 50% and the M3 mixture replacing 100% of the conventional aggregates...
