  • 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...

  • 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 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...

  • 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...

  • Automated Synthesis of Hybrid Energy Network Optimization using A* & Ensemble Forecasting

    Creator:
    Luc, Jonathan H.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes a method for automatically generating and evaluating small-scale off-grid energy systems. Such systems are comprised of components such as solar panels, residential-scale wind turbines, batteries, inverters and charge controllers. These disparate components are assembled into feasible networks through the use of topological optimization and graph grammar rules....

  • Applications of Bayesian Optimization and Classification Surrogate Modeling to User-Guided Design

    Creator:
    Jetton, Cole M.
    Abstract:
    In engineering problems not all constraints can be explicitly written as mathematical functions. There needs to be a way integrate designer knowledge into the design process and preferably use that to guide an optimization problem. In this thesis, these constraints are modelled using classification surrogate models and integrated with Bayesian...

  • Automated Rapid Manufacturing Feedback for Design Considering Advanced Joining Processes

    Creator:
    Chan, Rothanak
    Abstract:
    As manufacturing advancements continue to develop, designers must be able to consider these technologies during the design process. Unfortunately, many of these new technologies, such as additive and advanced joining, have many nuances that require expert knowledge to effectively apply. Additionally, new design techniques, such as topology optimization, allow users...
