Fall 2018
Eufracio Aguilera, Alejandro F.
Additive manufacturing (AM) has come to be considered one of the must groundbreaking technologies nowadays, revolutionizing the traditional manufacturing and opening the doors to a new generation of complex freeform engineered functional part. The AM process shows a high correlation...

Development of a MEMS 3D Stress Sensor Using Strain Engineering for Out of Plane Stress Applications
DownloadSpring 2020
This work aims to enhance the performance of a MEMS-based 3D piezoresistive sensor, which has the capability of extracting the six temperature-compensated stress components. That sensor is made of an n-type piezoresistive element that has low pressure/out-of-plane piezoresistive (PR) coefficient,...

Development of a Multi-material Extruder System to 3D Print Hard Thermoplastics, Soft Elastomers and Liquid Metals
DownloadSpring 2019
Functional sensors often consist of rigid parts, soft rubber-like parts, and mechanically tunable electronic components. As part of a larger project to 3D print tunable antennas, it was tasked to develop a printer that could directly produce 3D stretchable electronics with soft and hard...

Development of a Novel Electro-thermal Anti-icing System for Fiber-reinforced Polymer Composite Airfoils
DownloadFall 2012
Given the trend towards expanded use of polymeric composites for wind turbine blades and aircrafts wing, icing of polymer composite airfoils is a challenge; this thesis is addressing this issue from a conceptual perspective. For the first time, the concept of embedded thermal elements as an...

Development of a novel Health and Usage Monitoring System to improve the reliability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
DownloadFall 2023
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly proliferating across commercial, government and civilian domains for inspection, surveillance, emergency response and delivery services. However, high failure rates continue to undermine mission success, safety and regulatory approval. To address this,...

Development of a self-sustained model to predict the water desalination performance of the membrane distillation process
DownloadSpring 2021
The water crisis, as a result of the rapid increase in world population, industrialization, and extreme drought, has become one of the most global risks to the environmental, social, and economic development of many countries. The release of contaminants from the industries into water resources...
