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)
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 ...
Vehicle model-based filtering for spacecraft attitude determination
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis investigates the use of vehicle model-based filtering for spacecraft attitude determination. Whereas traditional navigation filters typically rely only on the kinematic relations between body rate and attitude ...
The development of a decision support software application to improve capital equipment management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The design process applied to the development of orthopedic transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulations (TENS) devices for the treatement of acute pain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
