Modeling and control of a biologically inspired compliant structure

Creator:: Ray, Cody W.
Abstract:: We hypothesize that the extraordinary maneuverability and efficiency of bats in flight are in part due to the compliant nature of their wing structures. We utilize the parameters of bat bones measured by biologists to create a biologically inspired model of a flapping system consisting of a rotating hub actuator...

Modeling, control, and estimation of flexible, aerodynamic structures

Creator:: Ray, Cody W.
Abstract:: Engineers have long been inspired by nature's flyers. Such animals navigate complex environments gracefully and efficiently by using a variety of evolutionary adaptations for high-performance flight. Biologists have discovered a variety of sensory adaptations that provide flow state feedback and allow flying animals to feel their way through flight. A...

Experimental characterization of saw chain cutting performance

Creator:: Otto, Andrew W.
Abstract:: Chainsaw users value cutting performance and safety. Knowledge of the forces exerted during sawing are necessary to understand and improve the cutting performance of saw chain. Additionally, cutting forces can be used to form metrics for evaluating performance tradeoffs when using a safety (i.e. low-kickback) saw chain versus a standard...

A design of a furnace for melting refractory metals using a plasma jet heat source

Creator:: Van Kleeck, Nelson Leeds
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: . The first vacuum melting on a mercan- tile scale was done in erany under W. E. Rohn about 1916. He

Exact frequencies and mode shapes of a rotating beam

Creator:: Wright, A. D. (Alan Duane), 1954-
Abstract:: The exact frequencies and mode shapes of flexural vibration of a rotating beam are found. The beam has a linear mass and stiffness distribution. With certain simplifying assumptions, the kinetic and potential energies of the rotating beam are found. Hamilton's principle is then used to determine the equation governing the...

Passive dynamics and their influence on performance of physical interaction tasks

Creator:: Kemper, Kevin C., II
Abstract:: For robotic manipulation tasks in uncertain environments, research typically revolves around developing the best possible software control strategy. However, the passive dynamics of the mechanical system, including inertia, stiffness, damping and torque limits, often impose performance limitations that cannot be overcome with software control. Discussions about the passive dynamics are...

Thermal annealing of Mo/Si multilayers to assess the stability relevant to soft x-ray projection lithography

Creator:: Viliardos, Michael A.
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

NOx emissions for a gas turbine as a function of fuel-bound nitrogen and other variables

Creator:: Faye, William C.
Abstract:: Emissions of oxides of nitrogen from a small (15 kW) turbine generator burning high fuel bound nitrogen fuels were measured by a chemiluminescence method. Kerosene was used as the base fuel and pyridine was added to achieve different fuel bound nitrogen levels. Mixtures of 0.0%, 0.5%, and 1.0% (by weight)...
