  • Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

    Creator:
    Algarra, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...

  • The Structural Characteristics of Robustness in Large-Scale Complex Engineered Systems

    Creator:
    Walsh, Hannah S.
    Abstract:
    Modern engineered systems are increasingly integrated into society, decentralized, and interconnected. However, scale and complexity create unique challenges in system design, such as emergent behavior and unintended consequences. This work investigates the structural characteristics of robustness in complex engineered systems by identifying patterns of under-recognized vulnerabilities at various levels of...
