Analysis, modeling and control of the airport departure process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Increased air traffic demand over the past two decades has resulted in significant increases in surface congestion at major airports in the United States. The overall objective of this thesis is to mitigate the adverse ...
An experimental study of the unsteady heat transfer process in a film cooled fully scaled transonic turbine stage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991)
A coupled Eulerian/Lagrangian method for the solution of three-dimensional vortical flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
The use of mathematically exact solutions of structural dynamics models for structural control design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992)
Control of spacecraft in proximity orbits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Formation flying of spacecraft and autonomous rendezvous and docking of spacecraft are two missions in which satellites operate in close proximity and their relative trajectories are critically important. Both classes of ...
Methods and tools for the formulation, evaluation and optimization of rover mission concepts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Traditionally, Mars rover missions have been conceived with a single point design approach, exploring a limited architectural trade space. The design of future missions must resolve a conflict between increasingly ambitious ...
A numerical method for modelling wings with sharp edges maneuvering at high angles of attack
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1994)
Prediction of microcracking distributions in composite laminates using a Monte Carlo simulation method
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Evolutionary design of controlled structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Modeling aviation's global emissions, uncertainty analysis, and applications to policy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
(cont.) fuel burn results below 3000 ft. For emissions, the emissions indices were the most influential uncertainties for the variance in model outputs. By employing the model, this thesis examined three policy options for ...
