Learning-based wildfire tracking with unmanned aerial vehicles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)This project attempts to design a path planning algorithm for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to track multiple spreading wildfire zones on a wildland. Due to the physical limitations of UAVs, the wildland is ... -
Mechanical metamaterials application in wave mitigation and structure protection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "Metamaterials have been extensively developed in many areas over the past two decades, a great deal of research has been conducted on acoustic/elastic ... -
Plasma nanocoatings on cobalt chromium L605 alloy for cardiovascular stent applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] Coronary stents have been essential devices in treating blocked coronary arteries, Unfortunately, they face in-stent restenosis and thrombosis complications. Drug eluting stents (DES) have been ... -
Theoretical selection of working fluids and experimental investigation of 3-phase oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The need for high power thermal energy dissipation brought about the adoption of heat pipes utilizing phase change heat transfer. Oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) have the capability to transport thermal energy efficiently ... -
