A fluid-structure interaction finite element analysis of pulsatile blood flow through a compliant stenotic artery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Redesign of the standard bicycle seat to prevent male impotence
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Standard bicycle seats inflict injury to the perineum, the center for arteries and nerves feeding the penis, through repeated compression loading. Though harmless in low cycles of loading, the result for many high-mileage, ...
Micromechanics of deformation in polymers modified by inorganic and rubber particles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Many structural polymers exhibit brittle behavior at low temperatures and/or high strain rates. It has been shown that the incorporation of rubber and inorganic particles can have significant toughening effects. Previous ...
Forming of advanced composite materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Two significant aspects of advanced composite material forming are examined. First, the fiber deformation of aligned fiber composites formed to double curvature parts is analyzed. Aligned fiber composite lay-ups were formed ...
Feasibility study of rapid prototyping using the uniform droplet spray process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This work studied the feasibility of rapid prototyping using the Uniform Droplet
Spray (UDS) process. Straight and stable liquid metal jets are crucial requirements in the
application of UDS to rapid prototyping. Methods ...
Laser cutting applications in product design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Science fiction to science fact : the link between early science fiction and the space programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Design of a container for the collection of solder balls produced by the Uniform Droplet Spray (UDS) process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The electronics industry will endlessly seek higher performing electronic components that are smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Chip packaging is thought to be a solution. Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging, a type of surface ...
An investigation into the use of linear generators in the Schneider Hydro-Power Generation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The Schneider HydroBeaver is a revolutionary idea in Hydro-Power Generation. Conventional dams employ the use of turbines which require a large head to generate the power. The large head is developed through dams, which ...
Ice and abrasive particles : an alternative CMP polishing technique
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
