Toward Tactical Autonomy in Aerial Robotics
(2019-08-01)
This thesis addresses the issue of the generation of tactical trajectories, as is desirable
in the case of robot autonomy in hostile environments. The generation of such trajectory
currently lies beyond the purview of ...
Evaluation of Turbulence Model Performance for Simulation of Low Prandtl Number Fluids in Nuclear Reactor Cooling Systems
(2020)
Nuclear energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel energy sources. With advances to current cooling technology, nuclear energy can achieve more energy production and run more efficiently than earlier reactor designs. ...
Comparative evaluation of delamination in carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRPs) utilizing various common non-destructive inspection techniques
(2022-05)
Non-destructive Inspection (NDI) is routinely used to diagnose and monitor defects in composite parts, which could impact composite lifespan and performance. There are a variety of methods to conduct NDT in composites, the ...
