  • The Design of Good Work

    Creator:
    Hattrup, Steven H.
    Abstract:
    Work occupies a considerable amount of time in most peoples’ lives and can be a source of great pleasure or a source of pain. To enhance peoples’ experience at work, we must first understand how to measure and improve the design of work. This research sought to do just that,...

  • Fully-integrated mm-Wave Full-duplexing and MIMO Multi-beamforming Receiver Techniques for 5G and Beyond

    Creator:
    Garg, Robin
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the research community's interest in fully integrated mm-Wave wireless communication systems has increased significantly. With the standards for 5G NR now in place, the focus has shifted to actual deployment. Mm-Wave systems provide wider bandwidths, higher capacity, and lower latency than existing systems such as 4G. Higher...

  • The effects of nanoparticle addition on the processing, structure and properties of SiC and AlN

    Creator:
    Onbattuvelli, Valmikanathan P.
    Abstract:
    Silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum nitride (AlN) exhibit a combination of thermal and mechanical properties that are relevant to applications in electronics, aerospace, defense and automotive industries. However, the successful translation of these properties into final applications lies in the net-shaping of these ceramics into fully dense microstructures. Increasing the...

  • An investigation of Chinese quality circle effectiveness : critical success factors and outcomes

    Creator:
    Li, Jing
    Abstract:
    This research studied the relationship between three input variables and outcomes related to the use of quality circles (QCC) in a Chinese manufacturing company. After a thorough review of the literature, three managerial input variables were identified, including goal clarity, goal difficulty, and management support. Five outcomes were measured, including...

  • New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Alkaline Earth Metals

    Creator:
    Xu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

  • Bi-criteria group scheduling with learning in hybrid flow shops

    Creator:
    Bozorgirad, Mir Abbas
    Abstract:
    In this research, a bi-criteria group scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop (HFS) environments, where the parallel machines in each stage are unrelated, meaning not identical. The objective of the problem is to minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion times as a means of complying...

  • Environmental Sustainability During the Early Design Phase: Understanding the Uncertainty in the Use Phase, Visualization, and Automating Design Repository Curation

    Creator:
    Tensa, Melissa
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research is to support DfX considerations in the early phases of design, particularly Design for the Environment. In order to include DfX considerations, especially early in the design process, there needs to be access to knowledge and information that is usually only applicable further downstream in...

  • Bi-Criteria Batching and Scheduling in Hybrid Flow Shops

    Creator:
    Shahvari, Omid
    Abstract:
    In this research, a bi-criteria batching and scheduling problem is investigated in hybrid flow shop environments, where unrelated-parallel machines are run simultaneously with different capacities and eligibilities in processing, in some stages. The objective is to simultaneously minimize a linear combination of the total weighted completion time and total weighted...

  • Nickel nanoparticles-assisted diffusion brazing of stainless steel 316 for microfluidic applications

    Creator:
    Tiwari, Santosh K.
    Abstract:
    Transient liquid-phase diffusion brazing is used in precision, hermetic joining applications as a replacement for diffusion bonding to reduce cycle times, reduce bonding pressure and improve yields. Studies showed that the interlayer used in diffusion brazing can be detrimental due to the use of melting point depressants (MPDs). The goal...
