A continuum constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of woven fabrics including slip and failure
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Woven fabrics are used in many applications, including ballistic armors and fabric-reinforced composites. Advances in small-scale technologies are enabling new applications including fabrics with embedded electronics, ...
Tactile sensing of shape : biomechanics of contact investigated using imaging and modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
The overall goal of this research effort is to improve the understanding of the biomechanics of skin as it pertains to human tactile sense. During touch, mechanoreceptors beneath the skin surface are mechanically loaded ...
An equipment design approach for achieving manufacturing system design requirements
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Principles of rapid machine design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
Fluid and structural modeling of the disease-free and atherosclerotic human carotid bifurcation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. It claims more lives each year than the next 7 leading causes of death combined. Atherosclerosis is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and is ...
Precision autonomous underwater navigation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Deep-sea archaeology, an emerging application of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology, requires precise navigation and guidance. As science requirements and engineering capabilities converge, navigating in the ...
Chemistry, Transport and Function of Ionic Phases in the Solid Electrolyte Interphase on Lithium Metal Anodes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-09)
Lithium (Li) metal anodes in liquid electrolytes suffer low Coulombic efficiency (< 99.9%) arising from the chemically inhomogeneous nature of the native solid electrolyte interphase (SEI), which impedes smooth Li plating ...
Continuous Antibody Titer Assessment of the Biomanufacturing Process using Nanofluidic Binding Assays
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)
Online monitoring of monoclonal antibody (mAb) product titers throughout biologics process development and production enables the implementation of quality-by-design biomanufacturing, rapid bioprocess decision-making, and ...
Developing In Situ Instrumentation to Monitor Anthropogenic Change
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)
To predict and mitigate anthropogenic impacts on the ocean, we must understand the underlying systems that govern the ocean's response to inputs (e.g. carbon dioxide, pollutants) . Analytical models can be used to generate ...
Adaptive AUV-assisted Diver Navigation for Loosely-Coupled Teaming in Undersea Operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-09)
Human divers face immense challenges in the undersea domain due to constraints on life support, sensory input, and mobility. Due to these challenges, even simple tasks are difficult, and navigation between points of interest ...
