Creating a shipboard power simulation tool using electrical load behavior modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Trends in power system simulation that demand computationally-intensive, physics-based models may impede the acquisition of useful results for applications like condition-based maintenance [1], electrical plant load analysis ...
Quantification of extreme event statistics in ship design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Increased operational demands on Navy vessels extend time at sea and service life, making the accurate prediction of catastrophic failures increasingly challenging. The high value of these capital assets puts great pressure ...
Challenges facing agriculture : evaluation of the impact of AgTech, recommendations, and opportunity identification in food waste reduction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Global food production faces severe challenges that will test the world's ability to mobilize technology, industry participants, and governments to develop a sustainable response. Feeding a growing population and accommodating ...
Beamforming performance enhancement by adaptive hyperbola array shape estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Analysis of U.S. Navy Ice Exercise 2016 (ICEX16) data, through a collaboration with MIT Lincoln Laboratory, demonstrated that towed array curvature commonly exhibited heading differences up to 100° and never maintained ...
The future of fashion & human gesture control : exploration of a wearable communication device for sign language speakers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis is a design research project which began as an exploration of how to leverage clothing to further enhance capabilities and human computer interaction. While on this journey, this objective evolved with the help ...
A vascular imaging system for longitudinal registration and mapping of superficial vessels with quantitative analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Superficial vasculature presented on human skin is a stable and unique network across different individuals and contains important physiological information that is less understood and studied. Potential clinical applications ...
Design of a measurement device for bread dough proofing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The structure of yeasted breads is created during the multiple stages of bread-making: mixing, proofing, and shaping. These stages serve to develop a network of gluten and air bubbles which leaven the dough and allow it ...
Resilient acquisition : unlocking high-velocity learning with model-based engineering to deliver capability to the fleet faster
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
As the nation's security needs call for a growing naval fleet, the public-private industrial base for construction and weapon system acquisition will be stressed to perform at a high level of operational excellence. While ...
Systems analysis, design, and testing for an agricultural soil compaction sensing device
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The World Resources Institute (WRI) and United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimate that global agricultural food production will need to increase 56% between 2010 and 2050 to meet projected caloric ...
Challenges in implementing cross-disciplinary design experiments in a large scale introductory physics class; a case study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
A set of new design-based physics experiments were jointly developed by the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and Physics departments and implemented in a large-scale, introductory physics course, 8.02 ...
