Functional analysis to inform early design decisions for novel systems with substantial operations and maintenance costs

Creator:: Algarra, Nathan
Abstract:: Long field-life systems are those for which operational, as opposed to capital, expenditures dominate the life time cost of the system. In established product categories, operational experience and historical maintenance data allows engineers to make informed decisions influencing maintenance during the early design stages when design changes are at their...

Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

Creator:: Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
Abstract:: Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...

Experimental study of two-phase gas-liquid flow in a microscale fractal-like branching flow network

Creator:: Kwak, Younghoon
Abstract:: Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas and liquid velocities. Void fractions were assessed using two different methods. First, void fraction data were acquired using a High-Speed-High-Resolution (HSHR)...

Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

Creator:: Shankar Raman, Arvind
Abstract:: Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...

Multi-Objective Optimization in Multiagent Systems

Creator:: Yliniemi, Logan Michael
Abstract:: Cooperative multiagent systems are used as solution concepts in many application domains including air traffic control, satellite communications, and extra planetary exploration. As systems become more distributed and complex, we observe three phenomena. First, these systems cannot be accurately modeled, rendering traditional model based control methods inadequate. Second, system parameters...

Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters : Investigating Control Strategies and the Deployment of a Scaled Generic Prototype

Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters (VAPWECs) are thought to be both effective and robust at converting ocean wave energy into usable electricity. Seeking to build upon and investigate such potential, this work examines the merits of actively controlling a generic VAPWEC's pendulum for the purpose of increasing the converter's...
