Applications of an Agent-Based Approach to Automated Structure Design

Creator:

Kiff, Robin E.

Abstract:

This thesis details the applications of a new method of agent-based structure synthesis. The goal of this research is to create structures that meet a structural goal within a simulated physics environment. The method proposed works as an iterative process of changing the structure, evaluating the new structure and using...

Experimental Classification of Intralaminar Matrix Compression Damage Propagation in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers

Creator:

Daniels, Mitchell Alan

Abstract:

Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying...

Masters Thesis
Using Automation to Understand Sustainable Design Trade-Offs and to Promote Environmental Sustainability in the Early Design Phase

Creator:

Wisthoff, Addison K.

Abstract:

Sustainable product design is becoming an important component of the development of consumer products. Currently there are limited design resources to aid in the creation of environmentally sustainable products. The purpose of this research is to theorize a new method for integrating sustainable design knowledge into the early design phase...
