  • Automated Design of Foam Packaging Shapes

    Creator:
    So, David M.
    Abstract:
    Creating effective packaging is about finding a balance between product protection during shipping and time consumption in the design process. Given time and cost constraints, it is hard to produce sufficiently protective padding while having it not be thicker than it needs to be. This thesis describes a method to...

  • Identifying the Effects of Combustion Products, Turbulent Fluctuations, and Delivered Energy on Ignition Characteristics of Forced Ignition of Jet-A/air Mixtures

    Creator:
    Teope, Kaz I.
    Abstract:
    The operation of gas turbine engines depends on the reliable ignition of fuel/air mixtures. Gas turbine engines are commonly used as commercial and military aviation power plants. However, consistent ignition within gas turbine engines is still a problem, especially for more challenging operating conditions such as emergency operations. This work...

  • Design Automation for 3D Circuits

    Creator:
    Velayati, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Traditional electronic systems are usually fabricated via printed circuit boards (PCBs). In a regular PCB, the electronic components are placed and mounted on a two-dimensional board. Such a component layout limits the freedom in the component placement process which results in larger electronic devices. With the use of Additive Manufacturing...

  • A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

    Creator:
    Malshe, Harsha A.
    Abstract:
    Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...

  • Dividing Complex Parts into Multiple Pieces for Advanced Joining and Additive Manufacturing

    Creator:
    Massoni, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Poor material utilization is inherent to conventional manufacturing processes, leading to high material waste and machining times. Additive manufacturing processes attempt to solve this issue by allowing production of near-net shapes, but the processes may be too expensive or infeasible. By leveraging both processes in a single part, the waste...

  • Automated decomposition of complex parts for manufacturing with advanced joining processes

    Creator:
    Massoni, Brandon R.
    Abstract:
    Recent advancements in joining operations and additive manufacturing now allow complex metal parts to be built up from raw materials, as opposed to being machined down from solid blocks. This not only opens up the design space, but also allows for much more efficient manufacturing. By decomposing a complex part...

  • Applying Multi-Objective Evaluation to Automated Assembly Planning in Early CAD Design Stage

    Creator:
    Huang, Weifeng
    Abstract:
    Successfully predicting an accurate estimated cost is important in the assembly planning process. When designing an assembly plan, an accurate estimation ensures that the proposed plan can be achieved within the predetermined budget. However, achieving an accurate prediction is a challenge since it requires professional judgment, which is dependent upon...

  • Computational Design for Metal Organic Responsive Frameworks (MORFs)

    Creator:
    Manion, Charles A.
    Abstract:
    Metal organic Frameworks (MOFs) that experience stimuli induced structural transformation could enable a whole new class of materials with remarkable properties. Photoactuating moieties in the structure could effect changes in the pore space or macroscale shape change enabling light driven gas separation and actuators. Here, we present a novel approach...

  • Exploring the factors that drive organizational resilience : lessons from healthcare

    Creator:
    Darrow, Lucia
    Abstract:
    In the face of a disruptive event or prolonged period of stress, resilient performance ischaracterized by preventative measures, effective response, and the integration of lessonslearned. In healthcare, resilience significantly affects patient safety. However, currentguidelines for healthcare performance assessment, such as the Triple Aim, do notconsider physician satisfaction and preventative measures...
