Investigation of Failure Modes of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2022
High-velocity and long-lifetime operating conditions of modern high-speed energy storage flywheel rotors may create the necessary conditions for failure modes not included in current quasi-static failure analyses. The central hypothesis for this thesis research is that (i) viscoelastic effects...

Application of the IUMSS Methodology for the Standardization and Integration of Management Systems in University Research Laboratories
DownloadSpring 2022
Jaramillo Chavez, Renzo Wilfredo
The purpose of this research is to investigate alternatives for the integration of management systems standards requirements into a single management system (MS) for university research laboratories and compare the resulting MSs after standardization and integration against the initial MSs....

Economic and Environmental Assessment of Large-scale Electro-chemical and Flywheel Energy Storage Systems for Stationary Applications
DownloadFall 2022
There are few cost and environmental feasibility assessments of energy storage systems for utility-scale applications. The development of techno-economic and environmental performance indicators is crucial to make an informed decision on future development and deployment of energy storage...

Repeatability of a novel prototype surrogate neck model developed for omni-directional head impacts
DownloadSpring 2022
Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...
