Printing ferromagnetic domains in soft materials : mechanism, modeling, and applications
Soft materials capable of transforming between three-dimensional (3D) shapes have applications in areas as diverse as flexible electronics, soft robotics, and biomedicine. This thesis introduces a method of printing ferromagnetic domains in soft materials that yield fast transformation between …

Qualitative modeling in the turbojet engine domain
Mechanism modeling is currently a very active area of Artificial Intelligence. Several theories of mechanism modeling have resulted from this work and have been applied to such tasks as simulation, analysis, and troubleshooting in domains such as electronic circuit analysis and steam plant …

Design and modeling of carbon nanotube-based compliant mechanisms
… to adapt macro- and microscale compliant mechanism theory to design carbon nanotube-based nano-scale compliant mechanisms. Molecular simulations of a nano-scale parallel guiding mechanism uncovered three regions of behavior. Region I is governed by the bulk deformation of the carbon …

Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
… and reduce cost is to use ortho-planar compliant mechanisms which can be made from sheets of material, or lamina emergent mechanisms (LEMs). This thesis presents principles which can be used for designing LEMs. Pop-up paper mechanisms use topologies similar to LEMs, so it is advantageous to study …
