  • Cooperative control of multi-agent systems with time-delays 

    Xie, Zhentao (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this dissertation, we designed two cooperative control algorithms for multi-agent systems with time-delays. The first one is Robust Sliding-Mode ...

  • An investigation into thermoelectric coolers 

    Franklin, Eli David (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is a type of cooler that uses the electricity between the junction of two materials to cause a temperature drop. These coolers operate using the Peltier effect. Effectively, a TEC uses electrical ...

  • Investigation of high strain rate properties of graphene reinforced aluminum foam under varying temperature 

    Sinha, Akhouri Amitanand (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    Closed cell aluminum foam is a unique type of lightweight metal that is able to sustain considerable deformation under a nearly constant stress known as plateau stress. Under dynamic loading, aluminum foams are good energy ...

  • Selective area synthesis of 3-D carbon nanotube forest microsctructures 

    Hines, Ryan Patrick (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are solid carbon allotropes that feature high strength and high transport capabilities. When large populations of CNTs are ...
