Design of a Rotating Brush Underwater Grooming Device with a Focus on Brush Optimization, Motor Control and Design for Reliability
Nanney, Mark H (2016-12)The design and control of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) to groom or clean the underwater surface of ship hulls is becoming an important aspect of the maintenance of vessels to the United States Navy. The biological ... -
Dynamic Modeling of a Three Degree of Freedom Reaction Sphere
Byron, Joshua Michael (2021-12)This thesis presents a method to simulate the dynamics of a three degree of freedom, electromagnetically suspended Northrop Grumman Corporation Reaction Sphere (NGCRS) in MATLAB Simulink® by computing the magnetic force ... -
Investigating the Use of 3D Printing Pens for Additive Manufacturing Component Repair
Koren, Kyle Andrew (2020-08)The work presented in this thesis provides fundamental research for investigating the application of3D printing pens for the repair of components manufactured by 3D printers. Test specimens of three different print ... -
Multi-Axial Fiber Optic Reference Strain Sensor for Flexible Dynamics of Structures
Lapilli, Gabriel (2016-12)Launch vehicles are in an ever-decreasing weight trend, with bodies becoming more slender to reduce aerodynamic loading. Mass and stiffness tend to be opposing concepts when designing launch vehicles: a stiffer structure ... -
Multi-degree of Freedom Position and Attitude Control of RINGS Dipoles Using Electromagnetic Forces and Torques
Alvarez, David Andres (2021-04-01)Satellite formation flight (SFF) is likely to transform and advance the scope of space missions in the near future. Some considerable benefits of SFF to a mission include robustness, adaptability, and potential cost savings. ... -
