Design method of a modular electronic printed circuit board testing system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)The failure rate of the printed circuit board electronic testing process is higher than acceptable at a Lenze Americas factory. This thesis will understand the root causes of failure, and use system engineering methods to ... -
Design methodologies for controlling vibrations in buildings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Although vibration absorbers have been employed in mechanical equipment mounting for over 100 years, they have only recently been used for isolating large-scale structures such as bridges and buildings. Their applications ... -
Design methodologies for the seismic retrofitting of bridges
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)This paper formulates an earthquake design strategy for bridges. Earthquakes can cause extreme economic damage and loss of life. Structural engineers must be conscience of earthquake slip type, earthquake proximity, and ... -
Design Methodology for an Ultra-High Efficiency Coreless Resonant Power Transformer
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Coreless resonant power transformers, operating at high frequency, have several advantages over the traditional iron core transformer. They have a simple structure, are lighter, cheaper, and more efficient due to the ... -
