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 ...
Vortex-induced vibration of slender structures in unsteady flow
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) results in fatigue damage of offshore oil exploration and production structures. In recent years, the offshore industry has begun to employ curved slender structures such as steel catenary ...
The effects of deposit thermal history on microstructure produced by uniform droplet spray forming
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Uniform droplet spray forming is a process aimed at producing near-net-shape parts directly from the liquid melt by spraying micron-sized droplets onto a movable target. In spray forming, the solidification rate of the ...
