Microgravity Emergency Medical Containment System - A Concept of Architecture, Prototyping, and Usability Research
(2020-05)
Exploration is intrinsic to human nature but is well understood to be accompanied
by inherent risks to the explorer. This is particularly evident in the exploration of
extreme environments such as long-duration space ...
Analysis of Fatty Acids in Chukchi Sea Sediments
(2020-05)
The Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas are key areas for understanding the global
climate system. Climate change causes increased terrigenous materials to be carried into
the ocean as well as higher production of marine ...
Thermal Management Design of a 6U CubeSat with a High-Power Additive Manufacturing Payload Using Analytical Modeling with Experimental Validation
(2020-05)
As the capacity of compact battery technology for spacecraft missions continue
to improve, small payloads are less constrained by power limitations, thus relatively
high-power applications may be considered. AddCube is ...
Flight Path Control During Hypersonic Atmospheric Entry Using Active Magnetic Arrays
(2020-05)
The purpose of this thesis is to study the reaction to the Lorentz force induced during the
hypersonic regime of flight by an active magnetic field. The effect that a magnetic array
has on the flight characteristics of ...
Flight Testing of the Piper J4A Cub Coupe
(2020-05)
Flight testing is an important part of in the airplane design process. This
testing is performed to ensure that the airplane complies with the established
requirements and regulations for flight safety, as well as to ...
Use of Garmin Autopilot Envelope Protection System for Simplified Vehicle Operations in General Aviation
(2020-05)
The general aviation industry suffers from high rates of fatalities and accidents
occurring due to loss of control while in flight. This thesis research aims to
implement a simple yet effective simplified vehicle operations ...
Nonlinear Attitude Control for a 6U CubeSat with a Flexible, Deployable Boom
(2020-05)
A satellite attitude control system was developed in MathWork’s Simulink for a
6U CubeSat with a flexible appendage payload. The flexible appendage is a boom
that is able to store into a compact size and deploy out to 1 ...
Critical Elliptic Boundary Value Problems with Singular Trudinger-Moser Nonlinearities
(2020-05)
In this dissertation, we prove the existence of solutions for two classes of eliptic
problems that are critical with respect to singular Trudinger-Moser embedding.
The proofs are based on compactness and regularity arguments.
Characterization of Written Text Using Data and Network Science
(2020-05)
The success of humans cannot be attributed to language, but it is certainly true
that language and humans are inseparable. Since the first language appeared, we
have seen that language continually evolving over space and ...
Examining the Impact of Student Motivation on Performance in Mechanical Engineering Design Courses
(2020-05)
Design courses are an integral component of undergraduate engineering education.
Design is recognized as one of the primary responsibilities of an engineer in industry. New
designs are responsible for stimulating sales ...
