Rural electrification from local resources : biomass pyrolysis oil combustion in a direct injection diesel engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
As the production process continues to be refined, biomass pyrolysis oils are increasingly being considered as potentially feasible renewable fuels. Combustion of pyrolysis oils in diesel engines has been scarcely studied, ...
Precise registration methods in the manufacture of printed circuit boards
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A parabolic quadrilateral finite element for compressible and incompressible flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A unified finite element solution scheme for incompressible and compressible flows would be most attractive in engineering practice. The objective in this thesis was to work toward this goal. A 9-node finite element for ...
An approach for nonlinear control design via approximate dynamic programming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis proposes and studies a methodology for designing controllers for nonlinear dynamic systems. We are interested in state feedback controllers (policies) that stabilize the state in a given region around an ...
Forming of advanced thermoset composites : process development and deformation study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A regularized couple stress theory and its implications on nucleation and kinetics of phase transformations in anti-plane shear
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A posteriori finite element bounds for linear-functional outputs of coercive partial differential equations and of the Stokes problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
A design and optimization assistant for induction motors and generators
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Hybrid atomistic-continuum formulations and the moving contact line problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
We present a formulation and numerical solution procedure for hybrid atomisticcontinuum representations of fluid flows. Hybrid representations are of great importance because they allow the solution of problems that ...
Influence of implant parameters on the mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
