Mobility-Aid Smart Pants with Embedded Harness for Daily Use
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)Mobility aids help individuals that experience problems with moving around maintain autonomy, and can take many forms such as canes, crutches, walkers, among others. These devices are commonly used among the elderly, as ... -
Mode II fracture mechanics of moso bamboo for application in novel engineering materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Bamboo has been used as a structural material for thousands of years. Recently there has been increasing interest in its use as a modem construction material. In this study, as part of a larger project to characterize the ... -

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1921) -
Model based landmine detection using dielectrometry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
A model for analyzing the effects of hydrodynamic forces on cell adhesion in a perfused bioreactor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In bioreactor culture systems that aim to provide a convective flux to address mass transport limitations of oxygen and other nutrients, large hydrodynamic forces and shear stress can potentially serve as a negative signals ... -

Model of reflectance of thermophotovoltaic cell and cold plate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)The reflectivity of a gold-plated cold plate, and mounted multi-junction photovoltaic cells, is studied in the context of a thermal energy grid storage system. The emitter is modeled as a black body emitter. Improving the ... -
Model testing and computational analysis of a high speed planing hull with cambered planing surface and surface piercing hydrofoils
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)As part of a 2014 thesis, the MIT Innovative Ship Laboratory (iShip) designed a high-speed planing hull form that was based on the Model Variant 5631 developed at the US Navy's David Taylor Model Basin [7] [3] [5]. This ... -
Modeling a solar energy collector with an integrated phase-change material
(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 ... -
Modeling a two-link rigid swimmer scalloping in linear viscoelastic fluid
(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 ... -
Modeling a vehicle suspension system as an educational laboratory exercise
(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 ... -
Modeling abrasive wear of a 3D printer extruder drive mechanism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Additive manufacturing, more specifically 3D printing using fused filament fabrication (FFF), is a valuable technique; however, little has been done in developing a new mechanism for driving filament through the hot end ... -
Modeling and analysis of power steering systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
The modeling and characterization of a Lorentz-force actuator for needle-free injection
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The BioInstrumentation Laboratory at MIT developed a needle-free injector that is driven by a Lorentz-force actuator. The current model was able to generate pressures of up to 20 MPa in order to drive a jet of water based ... -
Modeling and characterization of a voice coil motor
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis describes the development of a voice-coil motor that will allow viscous fluids to be delivered via a portable needle-free injection device. The chosen motor design features opposing magnets whose flux is channeled ... -
Modeling and control of a fish-like vehicle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)To understand the extremely complex hydrodynamics of fish swimming, it is desirable to build a mechanical prototype. This allows better cooperation of the "vehicle" under study than would be allowed with a live specimen. ... -
Modeling and control of a four wheel drive Formula SAE car
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Formula SAE is a collegiate design competition in which student teams design, build, and race an electric formula racecar every year. In 2019, the MIT team built its first four wheel drive vehicle. The new architecture ... -
Modeling and control of a silicon substrate heater for carbon nanotube growth experiments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The precision engineering research group at MIT is working on carbon nanotube growth experiments on silicon substrates and in microfabricated silicon devices, to try to produce improved bulk nanotube growth. For this thesis, ... -
