(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The accelerating growth of our ability to engineer at the nanoscale offers unprecedented opportunity to control the world around us in meaningful ways. One particularly exciting development is the production of nanofibers, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)A significant limitation for underwater robots is their ability to maneuver in tight spaces or for complex tracking tasks. Next generation vehicles require thrusters that can overcome this problem and efficiently provide ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this thesis, we explore the different methods for parameter estimation in straightforward diffusion problems and develop ideas and distributed computational schemes for the automated evaluation of physical and numerical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Parameter estimation in nonlinear systems is an important issue in measurement, diagnosis and modeling. The goal is to find a differentiator free on-line adaptive estimation algorithm which can estimate the internal unknown ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)RoboClam 2 is a device that burrows based on the movement of the Atlantic razor clam. A functional RoboClam 2 has been built. Testing was conducted in a controlled laboratory environment to determine what parameters of the ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)This thesis describes the effects of operational parameters upon aeroengine flutter stability. The study is composed of three parts: theoretical development of relevant parameters, exploration of a computational model, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)As the price of energy increases and wind turbine technology matures, it is evident that cost effective designs for floating wind turbines are needed. The next frontier for wind power is the ocean, yet development in near ...
