Advanced Design Optimization for Composite Structure: Stress Reduction, Weight Decrease and Manufacturing Cost Savings
<p><em>An injection moldable chopped fiber composite actuator with detailed drawing and tolerances was designed within one year. A vendor was selected and a quote for injection molding tooling cost for production was obtained and the first prototype was built in addition of six months. The risks …

A coherent point drift algorithm for breast image registration via surface markers
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a reliable imaging tool for localization and evaluation of lesions prior to breast conserving surgery (BCS). MR images typically will be used to determine the size and location of the tumours before making the incision in order to minimize the amount of …

System Resilience Assessment and Improvement with Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Natural and human-caused events often disrupt physical networks such as transportation networks, supply chain networks, and power networks. Natural disasters, political issues, economic crises, and even criminal activities can pose severe threats to the performance, endurance, and security of such …

Hybrid Modeling and Simulation of Stochastic Effects on Biochemical Regulatory Networks
A complex network of genes and proteins governs the robust progression through cell cycles in the presence of inevitable noise. Stochastic modeling is viewed as a key paradigm to study the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic noise on the dynamics of biochemical networks. A detailed quantitative …

A Comprehensive Experimental Evaluation of Actively Controlled Piezoceramics with Positive Posistion Feedback for Structural Damping
This study evaluates the effectiveness of actively controlled piezoceramics with positive position feedback (PPF) for reducing structural vibrations. A comparison is made between active control with PPF and a parallel resistor-inductor (RLC) shunt technique. The primary objectives of this study are …
