EFFECTS OF DIVERSE VARIABLES ON RESISTIVITY, RHEOLOGY, AND NETWORK VISUALIZATION OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE EPOXY-CNT COMPOSITES
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
The addition of high-aspect ratio nanometric conductive fillers (i.e., carbon nanotubes [CNTs]) to an epoxy matrix has been shown to improve electrical conductivity by many orders of magnitude. These nanocomposites, ...
EXTENDING AND IMPROVING DESIGNS FOR LARGE-SCALE COMPUTER EXPERIMENTS
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
This research develops methods that increase the inventory of space-filling designs (SFDs) for large-scale computer-based experiments. We present a technique enabling researchers to add sequential blocks of design points ...
GEOACOUSTIC INVERSION TECHNIQUES UTILIZING ACOUSTIC VECTOR SENSORS AND RESULTS FROM THE MONTEREY BAY SHELF
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2022-06)
The propagation of acoustic waves in shallow water is affected by the seabed properties. Estimating these properties in situ using acoustics is an area of research that has been in development for decades, and many techniques ...
