Exploring integration of four information-based product development tools
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
An experimental study was carried out on the applications of four information-based product development tools supported by the MIT Center of Innovation in Product Development (CIPD). The names of these tools are Assembly ...
Mold design, fabrication and tensile testing of EMBed-812, a tissue embedding epoxy resin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
Serial sectioning is a process whereby fixed tissue is embedded in a polymer to preserve structure and is then sliced into very thin sections as small as 25nm. Currently, there is a lack of understanding of this embedding ...
A-Posteriori bounds on linear functionals of coercive 2nd order PDEs using discontinuous Galerkin methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
In this thesis, we extend current capabilities in producing error bounds on the exact linear functionals of linear partial differential equations in a number of ways. Unlike previous approaches, we base our method on the ...
Flexure based mounts for sensitive payloads : a management and engineering study
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
With the cooperation of the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an investigative and design study was performed to examine the history of the W80- 0 Area Aft Mount, understand its ...
Using predictive analytics to address risk in complex supply chains
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Li & Fung (LF) is a global supply chain manager for consumer product brands and retailers. Worldwide, LF contracts with over 13,000 factories. Frequently, these factories experience incidents, which are internally defined ...
High resolution imaging and lithography using interference of light and surface plasmon waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
The resolution of optical imaging and lithography is limited by the wave nature of light. Studies have been undertaken to overcome the diffraction limit for imaging and lithography. In our lab, the standing wave surface ...
Cooling system design tool for rapid development and analysis of chilled water systems aboard U.S. Navy surface ships
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Over the last several decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the complexity and power requirements of radars and other combat systems equipment aboard naval combatants and this trend is expected to continue for the ...
Elucidating efficiency losses in cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) photovoltaics and identifying strategies for efficiency improvement
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
In this thesis, I fabricated and characterized a series of thin-film cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) photovoltaic devices. I constructed several different device designs, using sputtered and electrochemically deposited Cu₂O. ...
Surface structural changes of perovskite oxides during oxygen evolution in alkaline electrolyte
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Perovskite oxides such Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.8O3-6 (BSCF82) are among the most active catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution reported to date. In this work it is shown via high resolution ...
Reducing reworkable discrepancies through standard work for writing inspection instructions and data distribution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Each aircraft on the final assembly line inevitably has minor build errors and deviations from the intended design. Errors, like these, that can be corrected on the line are called reworkable discrepancies. Because hundreds ...
