Predicting Aerodynamic Loads on Highly Flexible Membrane Wings

Creator:: Carpenter, Trenton James
Abstract:: Through passive adaptation to incidental flow, flexible aerodynamic surfaces exploit effects of increased lift, delayed stall and disturbance rejection. Wings of birds, bats, and insects exhibit these passive effects, and at the same time through the use of structural state feedback sensed from the loads on the wing, active control...

Operation of a High-Temperature Oxidation Reactor for Thermochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Ramsey, Owen C.
Abstract:: The cost of long-duration energy storage poses one of the most significant limitations on the penetration of renewables into power grids. Thermochemical energy storage has great potential to reduce this cost through the use of a reversible redox reaction pair that has a high enthalpy of reaction. The chemical nature...

Investigations into the effects of a vibrating meniscus on the characteristics of drop formation

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin T.
Abstract:: As drop-on-demand (DOD) applications continue to gain ground in desktop inkjet-printing, 3D printing, fluid mixing, and other areas the demand for higher frequency operations are beginning to push against the current physical boundaries in DOD technology. The current research is exploring the possibility of controlling drop volume and velocity at...

Experimental investigation of supercritical heat transfer of carbon dioxide in parallel square microchannels with a single-wall constant heat flux boundary condition

Creator:: Zada, Kyle R.
Abstract:: In the vicinity of the pseudocritical point, supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) undergoes a steep change in properties from “liquid-like” to “gas-like” as it is heated at a constant pressure. At the same time, there is a large spike in specific heat which can yield high heat transfer coefficients and heat...

Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

Creator:: Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
Abstract:: Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

Creator:: Mellon, Taylor R. P.
Abstract:: Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...
