Davis, Allen Miller (2022-11-14)Mission-adaptive aerostructural design considers the alteration of structural geometries to im-prove multi-objective performance in multiple aerodynamic environments. Geometric structural alterations can be tailored to ...
-
Runco, Carl Christopher (2022-04-21)Micro air vehicles are inherently susceptible to wind because of reduced inertia and have lower aerodynamic efficiency due to the poor performance of airfoils at low Reynolds numbers. Cyclorotors can potentially overcome ...
-
Hsu, Shao-Chen (2019-06-28)Gain-scheduling approach is a powerful tool but it only guarantees the local stability and performance for a slow varying system. Linear parameter varying (LPV) systems hence were developed to overcome this drawback. The ...

Schrass, Jacob (2022-07-20)A slat gap filler (SGF) is a structure that spans the gap between the leading edge of the wing and slat on a transportation category aircraft. This structure has potential to reduce airframe noise on approach to landing ...
-
Denton, Hunter J (2021-04-14)This thesis describes the development and flight testing of a compact, re-configurable, rotary-wing micro air vehicle concept capable of sustained hover and could potentially be launched from a 40mm grenade launcher when ...
-
Varnum-Lowry, Daniel (2020-04-15)Several nations are on the eve of returning to the Moon, establishing permanent research stations, and utilizing the Lunar resources. Developing and experimentally validating two-phase fluid dynamic models for different ...
-
Ramsey, Ramsay Allen (2022-12-14)This thesis describes the design, development, and flight testing of a quad-cyclocopter weighing 25 kilograms and 1.8 m x 1.4 m x 0.8 m in dimension. This cyclocopter features four cantilevered cyclorotors with a unique ...
-
Cortez, Alfredo A. (2023-05-02)The transportation and disposition of a High Temperature Gas Cooled (HTGR) micro-reactor’s spent fuel was the focus of this study. This was started by creating a simulation of the microreactor in MCNP6.2, which was used ...
-
Sharma, Maharshi Arindom (2023-08-02)Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printers are widely used for rapid prototyping and industrial applications. This research attempts to construct a dynamic modelling of an FFF 3-D printer gantry (2-D) to reduce manufacturing ...
-
Cratty, Krista (2017-12-04)Sting-mounted models that undergo significant unsteady motion suffer from degraded data quality because the data is time-averaged to remove the unsteady fluctuations. However, time-averaged data is not always an accurate ...
-
Gakhar, Kanika (2017-04-25)This study investigated the aeroelastic mechanics of a flexible flapping wing designed and implemented on a two-winged, flapping wing, robotic hummingbird capable of hovering. The investigation focused first on measuring ...
