Bio-Inspired Design of Vehicles that Operate in Complex Environments

Creator:

Jackson, Danielle M.

Abstract:

This dissertation focuses on defining underlying mechanisms to enable the bio-inspired design of aerodynamic and/or hydrodynamic vehicles that operate within complex environments. This dissertation introduces four overarching research gaps found in current bio-inspired design research and four corresponding approach questions that guide the framework of the presented research. This research...

Dissertation
Incidental Sensor Networks for Human Mobility Detection

Creator:

Hoover, Sylvan

Abstract:

Transportation systems need to get better by moving ever more people while consuming ever fewer resources. To build better transportation systems, planners need an accurate understanding of how people exercise mobility and tools to apply that understanding to the transportation system. Such an understanding can come through the development of...

Dissertation
A framework to model reliability and failures in complex systems during the early engineering design process

Creator:

O'Halloran, Bryan M.

Abstract:

An open area of research in complex systems is to move reliability and failure assessments earlier in the engineering design process. When compared to later design, early decisions are cost effective and have a large impact on the system. Standard methods are limited by the availability of data and often...
