Trajectory Optimization Using Collocation And Evolutionary Programming For Constrained Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
(Aerospace Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Trajectory design and optimization has a broad variety of applications in fields such as aerospace and electrical engineering. The solution of a trajectory that minimizes a cost function subject to nonlinear differential ...
Thermo-mechanical Solutions In Electronic Packaging: Component To System Level
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Since the advent of the transistor and integrated circuit, the performance of electronic equipment has increased significantly while footprint of systems at all levels continues to decrease. Recently, the number of transistors ...
Analysis And Design Of A Hypersonic Scramjet Engine With A Starting Mach Number Of 4.00
(Aerospace Engineering, 2008-09-17)
When pressures and temperatures become so high in supersonic flight that it is no longer efficient to slow the oncoming flow to subsonic speeds for combustion, a scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is used in place of ...
An Experimental Study On Thermal Bonding Effects Of PMMA Based Micro-devices Using Hot Embossing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Basic configuration and functioning of various subsystems of a developed HEMM system for thermal bonding are discussed. The bond strength and micro channel geometry degradations dependence on controlled process parameters ...
Design And Analysis Of Multi-functional Laparoscopic Tool
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Laparoscopic tools have been developed over many years, but there is a need for a laparoscopic tool that can be used for multiple purposes without the need to be removed and reinserted in the body. This thesis discusses ...
The Development Of A Finite Element Tool For The Calculation Of Beam Cross Section Properties
(Aerospace Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Cross section properties are crucial in the analysis and design of beams as they play a key role in the determination of the stress state encountered. The development of an FEM tool in MATLAB for the calculation of beam ...
Analysis And Optimization Of A Crashworthy Helicopter Seat
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The objective of a crashworthy seat is to improve the survivability of occupants (cockpit and cabin) in helicopter crashes. All modern helicopter seats are equipped with an energy absorber to reduce lumbar spine load during ...
