Design and manufacturing analysis of resonantly coupled circuits and other components used for applied wireless power transmission : application analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This thesis describes the analysis of a locking mechanism designed by ProTeqt Technologies. More specifically, the analysis considers the mechanism after the implementation of a resonantly coupled circuit used to receive ...
Design of a carbon fiber suspension system for FSAE applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity is one of the key challenges Formula SAE teams face as they try and design the suspension of the formula car. The purpose of this paper is to present experimental data ...
Mechanics of abrasive wear of elastomeric materials
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Elastomeric materials are widely used as tire and sealing materials due to their ability to undergo large deformations and conform to the mating surface. However, their applications often result in repeated contact with ...
Roles of grain boundaries in cleavage cracking and thermal crack arrest experiments in iron-silicon alloy
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
High-angle grain boundaries in steel offer an important resistance to the propagation of cleavage cracks that affects the fracture toughness and can modulate the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of fracture downward. ...
Finite element analysis of shells with layers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
It is well established that thin shell structures frequently feature narrow bands of strain concentration and localized displacement irregularities referred to as boundary and internal layers. It is crucial to capture these ...
Design and development of high precision five-axis positioning system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is based on the use of elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate taking advantage of the self-assembly process. Features as small as 300nm can be easily printed over an extended area. The ...
Design and development of high precision elastomeric-stamp wrapping system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Microcontact printing is an emerging printing technique that could potentially find application in the electronics industry. High-speed roll-to-roll equipment was built at Nano Terra, Inc in 2008, for microcontact printing. ...
Analysis of the capabilities of continuous high-speed microcontact printing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Microcontact printing uses elastomeric stamps to transfer ink onto a substrate by the process of self-assembly. It has the capability to print features as small as 200nm over large areas. Because of this it has many potential ...
Rotation of a slender rod injected into a cylindrical constraint
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
We investigate the buckling of a slender elastic rod injected into a cylindrical constraint while undergoing axial rotation. Particular focus is given to extension of the helical buckling length. This problem is of particular ...
Solar cooking : the development of a thermal battery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
There are many rural area in the world where cooking fuel is very scarce. One solution to this problem is to use solar energy to cook food. However most people around the world like to cook large meals at night, when the ...
