  • Modeling and control of a biologically inspired compliant structure

    Creator:
    Ray, Cody W.
    Abstract:
    We hypothesize that the extraordinary maneuverability and efficiency of bats in flight are in part due to the compliant nature of their wing structures. We utilize the parameters of bat bones measured by biologists to create a biologically inspired model of a flapping system consisting of a rotating hub actuator...

  • Risk-based negotiation for collaborative system design in a distributed environment

    Creator:
    Qiu, Yuming
    Abstract:
    Risk is a crucial decision factor besides traditional cost and performance during collaborative decision making in a distributed environment. Three main challenges exist: 1) stakeholders' different perspectives and/or diverse cultures can lead to inconsistent risk probability evaluations; 2) risk consequence is hard to be quantified in concrete unit; 3) risk...
