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 ...
A direct-write thick-film lithography process for multi-parameter control of tooling in continuous roll-to-roll microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Roll-to-roll (R2R) microcontact printing ([mu]CP) aims to transform micron-precision soft lithography in a continuous, large-scale, high-throughput process for large-area surface patterning, flexible electronics and ...
Heat transfer and performance calculations in a rotary engine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1987)
Assembly lead time reduction in a semiconductor capital equipment plant through constraint based scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The assembly protocols for a semiconductor capital equipment machine were analyzed for potential lead time reduction. The objective of this study was to determine the minimum assembly lead time for the machine based on the ...
Active combustion control : modeling, design and implementation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
Continuous combustion systems common in propulsion and power generation applications are susceptible to thermoacoustic instability, which occurs under lean burn conditions close to the flammability where most emissions and ...
Dynamics and statics of actin assemblies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical forces that powers cell movements is a ubiquitous theme across biology. The acrosome reaction of Limulus sperm is a simple example of such a dynamical transformation where ...
Compensating for model uncertainty in the control of cooperative field robots
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Current control and planning algorithms are largely unsuitable for mobile robots in unstructured field environment due to uncertainties in the environment, task, robot models and sensors. A key problem is that it is often ...
A tool for evaluating the early-stage design of corvettes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
In naval architecture terminology, the term "corvette" refers to a class of ships that are shorter than frigates and longer than patrol boats. Corvettes have always been the centerpiece of the navies whose mission requirements ...
