  • Multi-Sensor Data Fusion for Specific Energy Estimation in a Surface Grinding Process

    Creator:
    Desabathina, Sai Srinivas
    Abstract:
    Specific energy, defined as the energy consumed by per unit volumetric removal rate, is one of the key metrics used for evaluating the environmental performance of a machining process. Grinding is a traditional machining process, characterized by high specific energy and poor environmental performance. Growing global concerns about climate change...

  • Priority asset utilization in parallel replacement analysis

    Creator:
    Wagner, Tristan John
    Abstract:
    Two policies for allocating individual assets from a pool of assets to incoming requests were contrasted within the context of replacement analysis. Assets within a pool are considered similar in the service they provide, but may differ in age and cumulative usage. The two policies considered for allocating assets to...

  • Hybrid flowshop scheduling with dual resources in a supply chain

    Creator:
    Mehravaran, Yasaman
    Abstract:
    This dissertation addresses a hybrid-flow shop scheduling problem with dual resource constraints in a supply chain. Most of the traditional scheduling problems deal with machine as the only resource. However, other resources such as labor is not only required for processing jobs but are often constrained. Considering the second resource...

  • Diffusion bonding of large substrate MECS devices based on differential thermal expansion

    Creator:
    Chintapalli, Prashanth
    Abstract:
    Diffusion bonding has been widely used within microlamination architectures for the fabrication of Micro Energy and Chemical Systems (MECS). MECS are microsystems with the ability to process bulk amounts of fluid within highly-parallel microchannel arrays capable of accelerated heat and mass transfer. Thus far, diffusion bonding of microchannel arrays is...

  • Multi-objective Optimization for Equitable Post-Disaster Relief Supply Distribution

    Creator:
    Subramaniam, Purnima
    Abstract:
    Humanitarian logistics in the post-disaster phase of an earthquake requires detailed planning about the relief distribution network including assigning available distribution centers (DCs) to the affected areas, distribution of the relief commodities demanded by the affected population, and efficient allocation of the available vehicle fleet for the distribution in a...

  • Design Automation for 3D Circuits

    Creator:
    Velayati, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    Traditional electronic systems are usually fabricated via printed circuit boards (PCBs). In a regular PCB, the electronic components are placed and mounted on a two-dimensional board. Such a component layout limits the freedom in the component placement process which results in larger electronic devices. With the use of Additive Manufacturing...
