Scalable manufacturing of hierarchical nanostructures for thermal management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The focus of this thesis is a new simple and scalable process to make surface coatings that have multiple length scales, or hierarchical features. Typically, the formation of hierarchical structures involves multiple steps ...
Development of an inertial generator for embedded applications in rotating environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Inertial generators are devices that generate electrical energy from their inertial motion, and have only one mechanical connection with their surroundings. This makes them suitable power sources for embedded systems ...
Profilometry with volume holographic imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
High resolution, non-contact object profile measurement (profilometry) at long working distance is important in a number of application areas, such as precise parts manufacturing, optical element grounding and polishing, ...
Modeling and control of a hot micro-embossing machine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
As the market for polymer micro- and nano-devices expands there is an ever-present need for a manufacturing standard to mass produce these parts. A number of techniques for fabricating these devices are soft lithography, ...
Identification and evaluation of techniques for quality control of low-cost xylem filters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
2.1 billion people worldwide, majority of whom are of the poorest income quintile, lack access to safe, readily available water in their homes. The need for affordable, decentralized methods of water filtration led to the ...
Glycocalyx acting as a mechanotransducer of fluid shear stress
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
It is widely recognized that fluid shearing forces acting on endothelial cells (ECs) have a profound effect on EC morphology, structure and function. Recent investigations in vivo have indicated the presence of a thick ...
Design space exploration and optimization using modern ship design tools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Modern Naval Architects use a variety of computer design tools to explore feasible options for clean sheet ship designs. Under the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division ...
Comparison of approaches for determining the failure of stiffened cylindrical shells
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Qualification of the IBM CSC factory in Singapore : resource estimation and allocation in software and hardware services
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The CSC department of IBM Singapore has been established two years ago. It provides a variety of hardware and software services for its customers. Due to the complex mix of products and the different ways of completing the ...
A continuum theory with long-range forces for solids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
A non-local integral-type continuum theory, introduced by Silling [61] as peridynamic theory, is analyzed. The theory differs from classical (local) continuum theories in that it involves long-range forces that act between ...
