A method of frequency domain error modeling to predict the probability of stability and performance of dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work a method is developed for modeling frequency domain error in dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty. Within any mass-manufactured dynamic system, parameters...
Imaging-based customization of lattice structures for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Synovial joints can provide movement and articulation, however, with overuse, aging, and trauma, joint replacement surgeries may be needed. Commercially available joint...
Programmable elastic metamaterials for wave and vibration control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Emerging from electromagnetic waves and fast extending to acoustics and elastics, metamaterials as artificial structures exhibit extraordinary wave control abilities attracting...
Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in an evaporative cooling system with zeolite desiccant powered by solar energy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Concerns about energy sources depletion and environmental pollution issues have been raised and is a top priority of the global community. Refrigeration machines have been...
Controlling the kinematics of the left ventricle to treat resistant hypertension
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The intention of this thesis is to present a novel controller design that eliminates hypertension in patients who suffer from resistant hypertension. The controller is designed by first translating the functionality of the ...
Electron emission thermal energy conversion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Electron emission from a surface can be achieved via two mechanisms: tunneling and thermionics. Converting thermal energy to electrical power using these mechanisms is achieved by generation of an electron current from the ...
