Novel Neuro-dynamic Methods For Solving Robotic Planning And Control Problems
(Aerospace Engineering, 2015)
Robotic systems are growing more complex to cater to the tasks they are required to solve. Irrespective of these tasks the problem of planning and control must be solved for all robotic systems. In this dissertation a ...
Characterization Of Flapping Wing Aerodynamics And Flight Dynamics Analysis Using Computational Methods
(Aerospace Engineering, 2015)
Insect flight comes with a lot of intricacies that cannot be explained by conventional aerodynamics. Even with their small-size, insects have the ability to generate the required aerodynamic forces using high frequency ...
Evaluating and augmenting fuel-saving benefits obtained in aircraft formation flight
(University of Texas at Arlington, 2015-05)
When an aircraft flies, it generates wake vortices, which induce a non-uniform wind distribution in its wake. A trail aircraft, placed in the wake of a lead's aircraft vortices experiences this non-uniform wind distribution ...
ENERGY AND WATER IMPACTS OF DATA CENTER COOLING SYSTEMS: A TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE ASSESSMENT FOR FACILITY DESIGN
(2015-12-10)
Increasingly, society is being transferred to a dependence upon electronic technologies and networked systems, usually accessed via the internet. Physically, these systems reside within clusters of servers and storage ...
