(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)An experimental study was conducted on injection molded polypropylene parts with microchannels and through-holes. The quality of the microchannels and through-holes was observed with optical microscope and SEM images. A ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis outlines the design of a prototype electromagnetic induction vibration energy harvesting device for use in a downhole environment. First order models of the necessary components for a generic vibration energy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Fatigue damage and drag force amplification due to Vortex-Induced-Vibrations (VIV) continue to cause significant problems in the design of structures which operate in ocean current environments. These problems are magnified ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Razor clams are able to burrow deeply into granular media with only a small fraction of force required by traditional anchoring devices. It is hypothesized that the collapse of their shell and subsequent localized fluidization ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)An experimental study was carried out to determine if drag reducing polymers can be simple indicators of hemolytic potential in biomechanical devices. Specifically, three different blood pumps, known as a left ventricle ...
-
(Cambridge University Press, 1999)We present experimental force and power measurements demonstrating that the power required to propel an actively swimming, streamlined, fish-like body is significantly smaller than the power needed to tow the body straight ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Drivers often have difficulties noticing potentially dangerous objects due to weather or lighting conditions or when their field of view is restricted. This thesis presents a display method for potentially dangerous objects ...

Driver performance--a study of metrics that measure it and environmental conditions that affect it (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The focus of this thesis is on the design and evaluation of a robust drive mechanism intended to robotically steer a thermal ablation electrode. The device is intended to enable more efficient kidney tumor ablation therapy ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Successive transformations within manufacturing have brought great efficiencies to producers and lower costs to consumers. With the advents of interchangeable parts between 1800 and 1850 in small arms manufacturing (Hounshell, ...

(Cambridge, Mass. : Heat Transfer Laboratory, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1982], 1982)Dispersed flow film boiling is characterized by liquid-phase droplets entrained in a continuous vapor-phase flow. In a previous work at MIT, a model of dispersed flow heat transfer was developed, called the Local Conditions ...
