Applications of nonlinear system identification to protein structural prediction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Mobility feasibility of fuel cell powered hopping robots for space exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Small hopping robots have been proposed that offer the potential to greatly increase the reach of unmanned space exploration. Using hopping, bouncing, and rolling, a small spherical robot could access and explore subterranean ...
Ultrasonic inspection methods for defect detection and process control in roll-to-roll flexible electronics manufacturing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Roll-to-roll flexible electronics manufacturing technologies require new sensing and measurement capabilities for defect detection and process control. This body of work investigates the use of ultrasound, specifically ...
The reduction of supersonic jet noise using pulsed microjet injection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis is concerned with the active control of supersonic jet noise using pulsed microjet injection at the nozzle exit. Experimental investigations were carried out using this control method on an ideally expanded ...
The design and testing of a biologically inspired underwater robotic mechanism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Viscoelastic free surface instabilities during exponential stretching
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Image grating metrology using a Fresnel zone plate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Modeling and design considerations for a micro-hydraulic piezoelectric power generator
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Piezoelectric Micro-Hydraulic Transducers are compact high power density transducers, which can function bi-directionally as actuators/micropumps and/or power generators. They are designed to generate 0.5-1W power at ...
Essays on a novel framework for product development theory
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
After calls for a common terminology to unify the highly distributed literature on engineering design, this thesis develops and presents an emergent framework for the novel description and reconceptualization of the standard ...
Analysis and implementation of the bilayer microfluidic geometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Microfluidic devices form an important class of analytical platforms that have found wide use in the biomedical sciences. In particular, they have been used in cell culture systems, where they are used to monitor cell ...
