• The Effects of Liquid Alkane Fuel Structure on Catalyst-Enhanced Combustion 

  Dube, Grant (2018)

  The U.S. Army is developing micro-combustors for use in soldier-portable power generation systems. Many of the challenges associated with micro-combustion can be potentially overcome using a catalyst, but the effects of ...

• Legged locomotion in sub-gram robots 

  St. Pierre, Ryan (2018)

  This dissertation presents work towards understanding the role of legs in loco- motion for robots with a body mass of 1 g to 1 mg. Locomotion models such as the inverted pendulum model and the spring loaded inverted pendulum ...

• NONLINEAR RESPONSE OF ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES UNDER MULTIAXIAL VIBRATION EXCITATION 

  Massa, Samuel (2018)

  Electronic packages are exposed to complex life-cycle environments, and in many cases that environment involves exposure to multiaxial vibration which can dangerously affect the integrity of the electronic package’s ...

• Numerical/Experimental Hybrid Approach to Predict Substrate Warpage 

  Kim, Byung Yub (2018)

  A hybrid approach is proposed to enhance warpage predictability of thin advanced substrates. Experimental warpage data of thin advanced substrates is first obtained under various conditions. High sensitivity measurements ...

• Development of Approaches to Common Cause Dependencies with Applications to Multi-Unit Nuclear Power Plant 

  Zhou, Taotao (2018)

  The term “common cause dependencies” encompasses the possible mechanisms that directly compromise components performances and ultimately cause degradation or failure of multiple components, referred to as common cause ...
