(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis, a finite-element computer model was created to simulate a solar air heater with an integrated-phase change material. The commercially available finite element package ADINA-Fluid was used to generate the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In his renowned lecture on Life at low Reynolds number, E.M. Purcell established that a rigid swimmer comprised of two links cannot swim in a viscous Newtonian fluid due to the reciprocal nature of its movements. Viscoelastic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In order to teach specific mathematical and applicable concepts of modeling a vehicle suspension system to students in the 2.672 class at MIT, a design of a lab apparatus and plan of the procedure for a laboratory exercise ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Planar magnet-coil actuators are used in many different MEMS devices. This report describes one way to improve the actuator range per current input of planar coil actuators. This is accomplished by adding a flux channel ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Recent advancements in lithium ion battery technology have made BEV's a more feasible alternative. However, some safety concerns still exist. While the energy density of lithium ion batteries has all but made them the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis seeks to create a high fidelity model of the multiphysics present in a typical microreactor using propane combustion as a fuel source. The system is fully described by energy, momentum, and mass equations, all ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The objective was to create an accurate steady state thermal model of a molten salt receiver prototype with a horizontal divider plate in the molten salt for Concentrated Solar Power on Demand (CSPonD). The purpose of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This research continues the work begun by Sungho Jo and Steve G. Massaquoi on modeling human walking and upright balance. The model of human neurological control of balance and gait generation put forward by Jo and Massaquoi ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this paper, we present a modular robot design inspired by the creation of complex structures and functions in biology via deformation. Our design is based on the Tensegrity model of cellular structure, where active ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Nearly 21 million Americans are affected by osteoarthritis, a complex disease characterized by degenerative lesions to the articular cartilage and subchondral bone in the joints. The complexity of the disease makes the use ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In addition to its semi-conducting properties, silicon has the ability to be manipulated with high precision at very small length- scales. This property makes it very useful in the design of Nano/Micro-Electromechanical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Cycle-to-Cycle (CtC) feedback control has been studied extensively with increasing demands on the precision and quality of manufactured parts. Single input-Single output has been studied as the basis of CtC feedback control. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Currently, musical composition is considered to be a high-level skill that is inaccessible to young children. There is a "high floor" for children who want to create a piece of music because they must learn a way of recording ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Many biomarker-based diagnostics have poor predictive value because of their dependence on naturally occurring endogenous biomolecules to indicate disease. This work presents a diagnostic platform that uses nanoparticles ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Sir Ken Robinson said, "We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it or rather we're educated out of it."' Throughout my education I have found this statement to be true especially in it's relation to high school ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The flight of birds inspired engineers like Leonard da Vinci and Wilbur and Orville Wright to design aircraft that mimic the behavior they observed. The success of the Wright brothers' first controllable aircraft ushered ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Nervous System cancer age-specific mortality rates began being recorded for European and Non-European Americans in 1930 and for Japanese in 1952. All ethnic groups show significant historical increases in mortality rates. ...
