Dichotomy of Wall and Dwelling: Four Pavilions and a Tower, A Dwelling in Etlan, Va
This project focuses on the wall as a cross-axis form, one which gives an order to the landscape and a reference for the rest of the building to be set against. The intersections of these walls produce four corners housing four pavilions for dwelling. As the walls extend over the landscape, it …

New civic landscapes : manifesting cultural sustainability and civic myth in urban public spaces
… ground plane. This primary element organized cross-axis circulation, created dynamic vistas across the downtown area, and increased transactional efficacy by organizing existing city services in closer relation to public access. Integrated strategies for daylighting and natural ventilation …

Influence of hydrodynamics on the larval supply to hydrothermal vents on the East Pacific Rise
… proximity. A strong correlation between along-axis flow and daily larval supply suggested that larval supply occurred primarily via along-axis transport between local sources 1-2 km apart. However, weekly larval supply appeared to be driven by larger spatial scales through losses associated …

Synthesis and analysis of parallel Kinematic XY flexure mechanisms
… stage has a 5mm x 5mm range of motion, with cross-axis errors of the order of one part in one thousand, and motion stage yaw errors of the order of a few arc seconds.

Stress Response of Tall and Heavy Electronic Components Subjected to Multi-axial Vibration
… durability testing on electronic assemblies one axis at a time – in what is termed sequential single degree of freedom (SSDoF) testing. SSDoF testing has been shown to produce lower fatigue damage accumulation rates than simultaneous MDoF testing, in the leads of tall and heavy electronic …

Investigation of Bragg Gratings in Few-Mode Fibers with a Femtosecond Laser Point-by-Point Technique
… design, fabrication, and characterization of off-axis Bragg gratings in a step-index two-mode fiber (TMF). Through measuring the transmission and reflection spectra along with the associated reflected mode intensity profiles under different input polarization, we experimentally investigate the …

Testing of a Magnetically Levitated Rocket Thrust Measurement System Demonstrator for NASA
… a piece of hardware or test article is changed. Cross axis loading is also problematic because it is impossible to perfectly align the flex plates and strain gauges in the thrust direction. In response to these problems, a magnetically levitated thrust measurement system has been proposed and a …

Advancing Multi-Axis Force/Torque Sensing via Beam Optimization, Self-Decoupling Mechanisms, and Morphing-Based Mechanical Intelligence
This dissertation advances multi-axis force and torque sensing by unifying beam-optimized compliant mechanisms, 3D structural self-decoupling, in-measurement morphing-based mechanical intelligence, and a novel six-axis self-decoupling architecture into a cohesive framework, establishing a new …
