  • Printing 3D Magnetic Composite Structures with Arbitrary Anisotropy using UV-curable Magnetic Ink

    Creator:
    Clay, Garrett
    Abstract:
    Inkjet printing offers a cost effective, highly customizable method for rapid manufacturing of functional devices with minimal material waste. Although this method has been used for a variety of composites, little work has been done in the area of 3D printing magnetic composites. Presented here is a process for inkjet...

  • Electric Machine Capability Characterization for Actuators in Disaster Response Robots

    Creator:
    Li, Qianyun
    Abstract:
    Disaster response robots need to be simultaneously able to survive extreme environment and complete the mission efficiently and robustly. One of the determinants is the performance of the actuators in each joint, which drive the robot to the desired motion accurately. In robotics society, people usually build their robots directly...

  • The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

    Creator:
    Bodle, Ernie
    Abstract:
    Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

  • A practical implementation of self-efficacy theory to improve the engineering curriculum

    Creator:
    Plisch, Marjorie
    Abstract:
    What are the most effective ways to improve the engineering curriculum? Improvements should result in increased student retention, undergraduates who are more industry-ready and graduates who are better prepared to be leaders. Current research suggests that the best predictor of persistence is a person’s self-efficacy. The focus of this thesis...

  • Near-infrared absorption gas sensing with metal-organic framework on optical fibers

    Creator:
    Chong, Xinyuan, Kim, Ki-Joong, Li, Erwen, Zhang, Yujing, Ohodnicki, Paul R., Chang, Chih-Hung, and Wang, Alan X.
    Abstract:
    Despite significant advantages in terms of portability and cost, near-infrared (NIR) gas sensing still remains a great challenge due to its relatively weak overtone absorption from the fundamental vibrational bond absorption at the mid-IR frequency. In this paper, we demonstrated ultra-sensitive NIR gas sensing for carbon dioxide (CO₂) at 1.57...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...
