Designing Thermal Modulators for Portable GC x GC Systems.
(2015)
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have the advantage of scale and can be manufactured in bulk. One of the active areas of MEMS research is the development of micro-scale comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography ...
Nonholonomic Virtual Constraints and Gait Optimization for Robust Robot Walking Control.
(2016)
Bipedal locomotion is well suited for mobile robotics because it promises to allow robots to traverse difficult terrain and work effectively in man-made environments. Despite this inherent advantage, however, no existing ...
Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Thermoelectric Transport in Disordered Materials
(2022)
Material disorder comes in two forms, dynamic energetic disorder and static energetic disorder, both of which can greatly influence charge and thermoelectric (TE) transport properties by altering the energy dependences of ...
Efficient Output-Based Adaptation Mechanics for High-Order Computational Fluid Dynamics Methods
(2018)
As numerical simulations are applied to more complex and large-scale problems, solution verification becomes increasingly important in ensuring accuracy of the computed results. In addition, although improvements in ...
An Experimental Investigation of Premixed Combustion in Extreme Turbulence
(2017)
This work has explored various aspects of high Reynolds number combustion
that have received much previous speculation. A new high-Reynolds number
premixed Bunsen burner, called Hi-Pilot, was designed to produce ...
Reduced-Order Modeling of Turbulent Reacting Flows Using Inertial Manifold Theory
(2021)
Turbulent flows found in aerodynamics, propulsion, and other energy conversion sys- tems pose an inherent computational challenge for extensive predictive simulations. Over the last few decades, a statistical approach for ...
Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems
(2021)
Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of ...
Engineering Bicontinuous Interfaces for Enhanced Mechanical Performance
(2020)
In this work, we report on the evolution of phase-separated morphologies in co-sputtered Cu-Mo films as a result of varying substrate temperature and deposition rate during deposition. A transition from vertically-oriented ...
Autonomous Scene Understanding, Motion Planning, and Task Execution for Geometrically Adaptive Robotized Construction Work
(2019)
The construction industry suffers from such problems as high cost, poor quality, prolonged duration, and substandard safety. Robots have the potential to help alleviate such problems by becoming construction co-workers, ...
