  • Advancing Wind Systems Design through Optimization and Improved Modeling

    Creator:
    Miller, Annalise M.
    Abstract:
    Wind energy plays an important and growing role in the US energy profile. While other countries have expanded their wind industries into offshore development, large investment costs have hindered progress in the US offshore market despite the larger and more consistent resource available offshore. In this research, I explore the...

  • Incremental Forming of Polymers at Room Temperature

    Creator:
    Davar Panah, Mohammad Ali
    Abstract:
    Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF) is a forming process in which a fully clamped sheet is formed by a hemispherical ended tool that moves along a predefined 3D toolpath. The sheet is formed in a series of local deformations to reach its desired shape. Double Sided Incremental Forming (DSIF) includes...

  • Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

    Creator:
    Sharp, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...
