Phenomenology and kinematics of discrete plastic deformation events in amorphous silicon : atomistic simulation using the Stillinger-Weber potential
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The need to understand plastic deformation in amorphous covalently bonded materials arose from the unique mechanical properties of disordered intergranular layers in nc-TiN/a-Si₃N₄ ceramic composites. Silicon was chosen ...
Process control for micro embossing : initial variability study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The objective of this research is to study the dimensional variations in micro embossed parts. By measuring multiple parts produced with a fixed set of control inputs, it could be determined if the process is in statistical ...
Predicting the behavior of a lean-burn hydrogen-enhanced engine concept
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
(cont.) Lean operation of a spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engine (ICE) offers attractive performance incentives. Lowered combustion temperatures inhibit formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx), while reduced intake ...
Multi-channel blind system identification using the Laguerre expansion for characterization of circulatory hemodynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
A new tool for real-time characterization of both systemic and local circulatory hemodynamics has been developed. Given two peripheral circulatory waveform measurements this new signal-processing algorithm generates two ...
Electrostatic loudspeaker design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959)
Hydrodynamic loading of a porous plate at low Reynolds number conditions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
In this thesis, we discuss our experimental work conducted to investigate the flow through and around porous disks driven through a viscous fluid at low Reynolds number conditions. Specifically, we present the results from ...
Quasi-static tearing tests of metal plating
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Fabrication of microfluidic devices for artificial respiration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
We are developing elastomeric polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic devices incorporated with photoactive thin films to create an implantable artificial respiration platform. Whereas state-of-the-art respiration support ...
Accuracy control risk management for modular submarine hull construction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Product availability improvement for analytical column supply chain : inventory optimization and lot sizing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis demonstrates the potential of a structured safety stock policy, and an improved lot sizing production policy on the inventory level and service level. The thesis focuses on incorporating demand variability into ...
