(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)It is difficult for scientists to engineer elastomeric materials that are both strong and tough like spider dragline silk. Inspired by the morphology of spider dragline silk and motivated to develop strong, tough, elastomeric ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Horizontal-axis wind turbine designs often included gearboxes or large direct-drive generators to compensate for the low peripheral speeds of the turbine hub. To take advantage of high blade tip speeds, an alternative ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The purpose of this thesis is to develop a means of predicting direct operating cost (DOC) for new commercial rotorcraft early in the design process. This project leverages historical efforts to model operating costs in ...

Preventive maintenance scheduling based on failure data in a medical device manufacturing facility (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)This study was conducted at a medical device production facility where analysis was done on the reliability of Product S barrel molds for the purpose of predicting preventive maintenance (PM) schedule. Pareto Rule was ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Current electronics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacture is optimized for the production of very high-volume parts on a limited range of substrates. These processes are long, consume large amounts of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The principles of lean manufacturing have taken hold in a number of manufacturing firms as a means of achieving operational excellence through continuous improvement. Womack and Jones have suggested a generalized process ...
