Direct-Write and Aerosol Jet Processes with Evaluation for Additively Printed Electronics
Narangaparambil, Jinesh Janardhanan (2023-08-04) ETD File Embargoed
Printed electronics, with their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and scalability, are becoming popular as a replacement for traditional silicon electronics. Flexible batteries, wearable sensors, and screens are just ...
Evaluation of Platooning Efficiency for Heavy Duty Trucks using Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control
Smith, Patrick (2020-05-20)
This thesis presents an evaluation of heavy duty truck platooning efficiency through fuel and coastdown testing. The trucking industry accounts for nearly 70% of the freight shipped in the United States. These heavy duty ...
An Experimental Study on Novel Wick Material for Use in Bent and Flattened Heat Pipes
Bartlett, Austin (2023-04-28) ETD File Embargoed
Heat pipes are a novel and highly efficient device for removing heat from high-power electrical devices and have seen extensive use in high-performance computers, power generation, and aerospace applications. Heat pipes ...
Investigation of Precise Relative Positioning through Varying Equipment Grades
Campos-Vega, Christian (2022-02-22)
In this thesis, three methodologies are investigated in order to provide precise relative positioning knowledge between two dynamic platforms as equipment grade is varied. Two methods are integrated into the real-time ...
A Numerical and Experimental Study of Additively Manufactured Compact Cold Plates for Electronics Cooling Applications
Oligee, Zane (2021-12-03)
This research assesses the viability of metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) to create Compact Cold Plate Heat Exchangers. Unique arrays of offset strip fins were used to increase heat transfer and reduce pressure drop. Cold ...
A Physics-Based Framework for Estimating Real-Time Platoon Energy Savings
Stegner, Evan (2024-05-06)
Platooning is a strategy that aims to reduce aerodynamic drag and fuel consumption by driving trucks closely behind each other. However, the advantages of platooning can be compromised by braking loss, which refers to the ...
Utilization of Vehicle-Specific Power as a Powertrain Independent Platoon Controller Performance Metric
Snitzer, Richard Philip (2022-12-05)
Heavy-Duty hauling faces challenges regarding the efficiency of transportation, which opens the door to new pathways to saving money while refueling via platooning. Platooning vehicles travel together intending to reduce ...
