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...

Vortex Generator Flow Control for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing with an Extended Coanda Flap

Creator:: Kelly, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper-surface blowing in a novel way using an array of electric ducted fans (EDFs) to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on the use of vortex generators (VGs) to reduce flow separation...

Growth, Characterization, and Application of Antimony Sulfide Thin Films via a Novel Microreactor Assisted Nanomaterial Deposition for Solid State Batteries

Creator:: Chun, Bryan H.
Abstract:: The continuous development of higher performing battery materials has emerged in parallel with the development of new manufacturing processes. Nanomaterials are one solution to addressing the cycling and performance challenges that limit existing battery cells. However, many of the methods used today for nanomaterial synthesis are high temperature batch methods...

Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

Creator:: O'Halloran, Bryan M.
Abstract:: This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...

Experimental study of impulse turbines and permanent magnet alternators for pico-hydropower generation

Creator:: Cobb, Bryan R.
Abstract:: Increasing access to modern forms of energy in developing countries is a crucial component to eliminating extreme poverty around the world. Pico-hydro schemes (less than 5-kW range) can provide environmentally sustainable electricity and mechanical power to rural communities, generally more cost-effectively than diesel/gasoline generators, wind turbines, or solar photovoltaic systems....

Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

Development and Trial of a Usability Testing Protocol for Biomass Cookstoves : An Interdisciplinary Approach

Creator:: Moses, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Improved cookstoves have been designed and disseminated for several decades in an effort to address the human health and environmental issues caused by the inefficient, traditional biomass cooking and heating methods used by 40% of the world’s people. Engineers and designers working on these improved stoves have tended to focus...

Direct 3D Printing of Silicone Elastomer Soft Robots without Support

Creator:: Morrow, John F.
Abstract:: Soft robotics utilizes compliant materials (such as rubber) to make robots that are flexible and safe around humans, however these materials present many practical manufacturing challenges. Current fabrication methods use molding techniques which limits the soft robot designs which could be fabricated and impacts part consistency. This defense introduces a...

Framework and Method for Designing Complementarist Interventions to Systemically Address Management Challenges in Small Organizations

Creator:: Moore, Bradley
Abstract:: Small organizations may face several management challenges, such as developing non-centralized management structures, knowledge retention in rapid turnover environments, complex operations, and diverse stakeholder requirements. Many methodologies exist to address such management challenges, including viable system model, knowledge management, and Toyota production system, or lean manufacturing. Each of these methodologies...

D₊₊ : Structural Credit Assignment in Tightly Coupled Multiagent Domains

Creator:: Rahmattalabi, Aida
Abstract:: Autonomous multiagent teams can be used in complex exploration tasks to both expedite the exploration and improve the efficiency. However, use of multiagent systems presents additional challenges. Specifically, in domains where the agents' actions are tightly coupled, coordinating multiple agents to achieve cooperative behavior at the group level is difficult....
