Creator:: Hawke, Shane R.
Abstract:: The droplet formation process in the vicinity of the nozzle exit and the behavior of a spreading droplet during impingement on a smooth glass surface were studied. Two nozzle geometries were tested. The first case was a stiff stainless steel nozzle plate 0.787 mm thick. The second case was a...

Creator:: Knudson, Matthew D.
Abstract:: Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

Creator:: Yang, Guozhong
Abstract:: For piezoelectric stack (PZT) driven droplet generator, the driving waveform and driving frequency effect on liquid filament shape and droplet characteristics have been experimentally studied. The experimental study was based on a PZT driven droplet generator with known geometric design parameters and working fluid properties. A lumped-element-model (LEM) constructed to...

Creator:: Sangplung, Saangrut
Abstract:: Droplet formation from a flexible nozzle plate driven by a prescribed-waveform excitation of a piezoelectric is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the VOF method. The droplet generator with a flexible nozzle plate, which is free to vibrate due to the pressure acting on the plate,...

Creator:: Zarins, Andis M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the possible impact of an engineering design and problem solving process overview document on knowledge management and capture. A process overview document was first created. Next, two multi-disciplinary design teams worked over a two-week span to develop concepts to address a problematic opportunity. One...

Creator:: Peterson, Clint W.
Abstract:: It is crucial for the development of high quality products that design requirements are identified and clarified as early as possible in the design process. In many projects the design requirements and design specifications evolve during the project cycle. Shifting needs of the customer, advancing technology, market considerations and even...
