Design and analysis of a Non-Pressurized Manned Submersible
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Non-Pressurized Manned Submersibles (NPMS) have proven their utility in warfare for centuries, demonstrating an unmatched combination of simplicity and versatility in both declared conflicts and undeclared, covert operations. ... -
Design and analysis of a nondeterministic parallel breadth-first search algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)I have developed a multithreaded implementation of breadth-first search (BFS) of a sparse graph using the Cilk++ extensions to C++. My PBFS program on a single processor runs as quickly as a standard C++ breadth-first ... -
Design and Analysis of a Novel Wave Energy Converter With a Tension Leg Platform and Oscillating Proof Masses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-02)A design of novel wave energy converter with an oscillating proof mass and an electromagnetic power takeoff mechanism was considered. The wave energy converter has two parts, a tension leg platform connected by tether lines ... -
Design and analysis of a permanent magnet generator for naval applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This paper discusses the electrical and magnetic design and analysis of a permanent magnet generation module for naval applications. Numerous design issues are addressed and several issues are raised about the potential ... -
Design and analysis of a scanning beam interference lithography system for patterning gratings with nanometer-level distortions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)This thesis describes the design and analysis of a system for patterning large-area gratings with nanometer level phase distortions. The novel patterning method, termed scanning beam interference lithography (SBIL), uses ... -
Design and analysis of a soft prismatic joint by Amelia Tepper Servi.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)This thesis documents the design and analysis of a soft prismatic joint for use in soft robotics. While this joint can be utilized in any soft robot, its immediate application is for Squishbot, a soft robot developed for ... -
Design and analysis of a stage-based electrospray propulsion system for CubeSats
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The standardization of small spacecraft through CubeSats has allowed for more affordable space exploration. This progress in affordability has been limited to Earth orbit due in part to the lack of high [delta]V propulsion ... -
Design and analysis of a Stewart-platform-based six-axis load cell
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this work, a six-axis load cell based on the geometry of a Stewart platform was developed. Its geometry and functional requirements were motivated by the needs of robotic limbs designed to be attached to human workers ... -
Design and analysis of a turbocharged single cylinder diesel engine intake system for increased power output and transient response
