An adaptive space-time discontinuous Galerkin method for reservoir flows
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Numerical simulation has become a vital tool for predicting engineering quantities of interest in reservoir flows. However, the general lack of autonomy and reliability prevents most numerical methods from being used to ...
Decentralized teaching and learning in cooperative multiagent systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Cooperative multiagent decision making is a ubiquitous problem with many real-world applications, including organization of driverless car fleets [1, 2], target surveillance [3], and warehouse automation [4-6]. The unifying ...
Moving and adapting with a learning exoskeleton
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The operation of a powered exoskeleton is a type of human-robot interaction with extremely tight human-robot coupling. As exoskeletons become increasingly intelligent, it is increasingly appropriate to think of them not ...
Design, optimization, and performance of an adaptable aircraft manufacturing architecture
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The cost and time required to develop aircraft have grown strongly over time, to the point where aircraft have become prohibitively expensive and are outpaced by ever-evolving mission needs. To address this problem, this ...
Transonic flutter prediction and aeroelastic tailoring for next-generation transport aircraft
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Novel commercial transport aircraft concepts feature large wing spans to increase their fuel efficiency; these wings are more flexible, leading to more potential aeroelastic problems. Furthermore, these aircraft fly in the ...
Data-driven flight procedure simulation and noise analysis in a large-scale air transportation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Aircraft noise is a growing source of community concern around airports. Despite the introduction of quieter aircraft, increased precision of onboard guidance systems has resulted in new noise impacts driven by overflight ...
Portable optical ground stations for satellite communication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Small satellite technical capabilities continue to grow and launch opportunities are rapidly expanding. Several commercial constellations of small satellites for Earth observation and communications are making their way ...
A novel framework for acoustic diagnostic of artificial lift system for oil-production
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Oil extraction on many reservoirs requires the use of rod pump systems to pump the fluid to the surface. A longstanding challenging issue in the operation of rod-pump system is the ability to determine the downhole pump ...
Data-driven modeling of air traffic flows for advanced Air Traffic Management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The Air Traffic Management (ATM) system enables air transportation by ensuring a safe and orderly air traffic flow. As the air transport demand has grown, ATM has become increasingly challenging, resulting in high levels ...
Modeling, analysis, and control of interdependent networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
The integrations of communication and physical networks facilitate network monitoring, operation and control, advancing the development of Internet of Things, smart power grids, and other cyber-physical systems. In these ...
