Scholten, William David (2020-04-16)Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis is a common tool used to analyze aeroelastic problems. The traditional FSI scheme couples independent structure and fluid solvers in space and time. For many aerospace applications ...
-
Chatterjee, Abheek (2022-12-10)System of Systems (SoS) are networked integration of constituent systems that together achieve new capabilities not possible through the operation of any single system. Their resilience (being able to withstand and recover ...

Scholten, William David (2016-11-18)During low speed maneuvers, such as landing and approach, a significant portion of the noise generated by transport aircraft is due to airframe noise. The leading-edge slat is a primary source of airframe noise. Previous ...
-
Mikkelsen, Madalyn (2020-08-05)Preliminary design is a complicated problem that is often solved using topology optimization. In this work, a heuristic approach to topology optimization is considered. This approach involves the coupling of a genetic ...
-
Lee, Sooyeon (2015-08-08)Nature has repeated its evolution processes and developed its own “engineering” principles over a long period of time. Bioinspired design starts from the belief that nature has the most effective and optimized problem-solving ...
-
Brinkley, John Andrew (2022-07-08)The study that is discussed in this thesis involves a unique method of quantifying uncertainty with respect to a classification problem. In essence, the objective involves redefining a materials classification problem ...
-
Sangelkar, Shraddha Chandrakant (2013-08-01)Inclusive design is a concept intended to promote the development of products and environments equally usable by all users, irrespective of their age or ability. This research focuses on developing a method to derive ...
-
Mirjafari, Mehran (2013-01-09)Designers of power electronic converters usually face the challenge of having multiple performance indices that must be simultaneously optimized, such as maximizing efficiency while minimizing mass or maximizing reliability ...
-
Ghoreishi, Seyede Fatemeh (2019-03-11)The advancements in science and technology in recent years have extended the scale of engineering problems. Discovery of new materials with desirable properties, drug discovery for treat-ment of disease, design of complex ...
-
Panyam, Varuneswara Reddy (2019-11-22)This thesis deals with redesigning power grids from the ground up to improve their robustness and resilience to various kinds of disturbances. An innovative biologically inspired approach is proposed to achieve this goal. ...
-
Morris, Elissa (2019-06-03)The science of folding has inspired and challenged scholars for decades. Origami, the art of folding paper, has led to the development of many foldable engineering solutions with applications in manufacturing, materials, ...
-
Lopez, Ricardo (2012-07-16)Idea generation is one of the major initial steps of the design process. Designers frequently use analogies to explain concepts, predict potential problems, and generate ideas. Analogous design can stimulate idea generation ...
-
Cherickal Viswanathan, Vimal 1983- (2012-08-17)Designers use various representations to externalize their ideas, physical models being an important one. Physical models are widely used by designers and their use is promoted as an effective design tool by industry and ...
-
Li, Kaiyu (2016-11-07)Computational models for numerically simulating physical systems are increasingly being used to support decision-making processes in engineering. Processes such as design decisions, policy level analyses, and experimental ...
-
Johnson, Luke A (2015-11-09)The computer-aided materials design process, otherwise known as Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME), is highly iterative and as such requires flexible tools that have the ability to link processing, ...
-
Keshavarzbagheri, Zohreh (2012-10-19)In the first part of this thesis, the design of a compass robot is explored by considering its components and their interaction with each other. Three components including robot's structure, gear and motor are interacting ...
-
McGowan, Daniel (2017-05-05)Rehabilitation options for transfemoral amputees are limited, and no product today can mimic the full functionality of a human limb. Powered prosthetics have potential to close this gap but contain major drawbacks which ...
-
Arendt, Jonathan Lee (2012-10-19)Design is an uncertain human activity involving decisions with uncertain outcomes. Sources of uncertainty in product design include uncertainty in modeling methods, market preferences, and performance levels of subsystem ...
-
Yi, Hak 1979- (2012-12-05)This dissertation discusses an implementation of a design, control and motion planning for a novel extendable modular redundant robotic manipulator in space constraints, which robots may encounter for completing required ...
-
Wadia, Anosh Porus (2011-10-21)Engineering design methods focus on developing products that are innovative, robust, and multi-functional. In this context, the term robust refers to a product's ability to accomplish successfully its predetermined functions. ...
