Title: Experimentally Infused Active System Optimization - Theoretical Framework and Airborne Wind Energy Case Study
Author: Deodhar, Nihar
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Engineering
Description: This research pioneers formal combined plant and controller optimization (termed ``co-design") schemes for complex systems where accurate but expensive experiments are fused with cheap but less accurate numerical simulations. This fusion of experi...

Title: Hierarchical Control Strategies for Spatiotemporally Varying Systems with Application to Airborne Wind Energy
Author: Bafandeh, Alireza
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Electrical engineering
Description: Wind energy represents a leading renewable resource for the production of clean and sustainable electricity for on- and off-grid networks. Nevertheless, tower and foundation costs, which typically represent about 30 percent of the total installati...

Title: Robust Interpolation and Iterative Learning Strategies for Modulated Tool Path Planning
Author: DiMarco, Christopher
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Artificial intelligence
Description: During single-point metal turning processes, a long, razor-sharp chip nest is often formed that can be a hazard to both operators and the part being machined. To combat this, a process called Modulated Tool Path (MTP) machining was developed by Ba...
