Design and analysis of an experimental setup for determining the burst strength and material properties of hollow cylinders
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-12)
A mechanical device and associated testing procedure were developed to apply internal pressure to open-ended cylinders for determination of various properties, including burst pressure, elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. ...
Design and construction of a thermal contact resistance and thermal conductivity measurement system
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-09)
This study was aimed at the development of an accurate thermal contact resistance and thermal conductivity measurement system that was simple enough to be constructed and operated by multiple users. A method based on ...
Fabrication of a mechanically robust carbon nanofiber foam
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-06)
In this thesis, the constrained formation of fibrous nanostructures process was scaled up to fabricate mechanically robust, homogenous foam samples. Scaling up this process required the design of a stainless steel mold ...
Processing-microstructure-property relationships for cold spray powder deposition of Al-Cu alloys
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-06)
This thesis presents research on the cold gas-dynamic spray process applied to the deposition of aluminum-copper alloy coatings. Cold spray deposition is a process utilized to create corrosion protection coatings and to ...
Development of a cross-flow fan powered quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle
(Monterey, California: Naval Postgraduate School, 2015-06)
The research presented is dedicated to the advancement of construction techniques in order to implement new designs of a vehicle suited for cross-flow fan propulsion. This is accomplished by designing a quad-rotor cross-flow ...
