Integrating environmental impact assessment into product design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Increased autonomy for planetary rover operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Implementation of lean manufacturing during the process definition phase of a new engine program
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Rotation of a slender rod injected into a cylindrical constraint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
We investigate the buckling of a slender elastic rod injected into a cylindrical constraint while undergoing axial rotation. Particular focus is given to extension of the helical buckling length. This problem is of particular ...
Structural-acoustic design and control of an integrally actuated composite panel
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The need for structural based acoustic control is evident in aircraft, aerospace, and naval systems. A promising approach utilizes active materials to intelligently control the dynamic response of light-weight, modally ...
Three dimensional printing with fine metal powders
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
In the area of direct metal part manufacture, the 3DPTM process has several inherent advantages over traditional machining and P/M technologies: hard tooling is not required to manufacture parts, geometries may be created ...
Estimation of oil consumption due to in-cylinder vaproization in internal combustion engines
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Two models were developed to estimate the rate of oil consumption due to the vaporization of oil from (1) the cylinder liner and from (2) the piston ringpack in an internal combustion engine. The purpose of the models is ...
Analysis of the accessory business : focus on electromechanical grips
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Today, many manufacturing companies are facing numerous challenges that had not been present in the past. The paradigm of how companies must perform has dramatically changed over the years. Back in the 1980's customer ...
Development of experimental methods to measure osmosis-driven water flux and molecular transport across nanoporous graphene membranes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Graphene, an atomically thin planar lattice of sp2 bonded carbon atoms with high strength and impermeability, has drawn attention as a promising next generation high flux separation membrane. Molecular dynamics simulations ...
Development and application of a non invasive image matching method to study spine biomechanics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Research on spine biomechanics is critical to understand pathology such as degenerative changes and low back pain. However, current study on in-vivo spine biomechanics is limited by the complex anatomy and invasive ...
