Abstract:

Schlumberger drilling tools are exposed to very hard loading conditions (shocks, vibrations, thermal cycling) while performing a job. As these tools are full of electronics, issues can quickly come from electronics failure. Mechanisms of failure occurring in electronics are very complex but can be predicted in some cases. The first part of the thesis describes in which context mechanical engineering applied to electronics is used in Schlumberger. The different kinds of failure which will be investigated in the report are presented in this part. The second part deals with fatigue models used in

This thesis describes investigations into the phenomenon of time estimation in mechanical engineering design. Time estimating in this context refers to estimating in advance the approximate duration of a new design project, for the purpose of preparing schedules. The thesis describes background to the estimation problem, including practical and theoretical aspects of design, design management and market conditions. The research presented is based on data gathered from industrial collaborators, therefore detailed descriptions of the collaborating firms are included. A quantitative study is desc

Abstract:

Mechanical wave propagation in civil engineering materials is important for diﬀerent application ﬁelds, such as thermal conductivity, damage detection and sound transmission (including ﬁlters and sound barriers). A current open challenge is to understand how the chemistry and microstructures of cementitious materials impact the propagation of mechanical waves in them. The challenge is heightened by the fact that cementitious materials are very heterogeneous at the microscale. In this project, molecular and nanoparticle based simulations will be used in order to construct microstructures of ce

However, integrating neo-tissue with native cartilage to provide mechanical and biological continuity at the interface remains a challenge due to the limited regenerative capacity of the tissue. In an effort to imp

Abstract:

Thesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, 2015.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (pages 46-48).<br>Two novel schemes for engineering M13 bacteriophage for application in the diagnosis, imaging and treatment of human tumors are proposed. Firstly, by exploiting the uniquely malleable biology of the M13 filamentous phage, we have engineered filamentous phages of shorter lengths by constructing our own set of small viral ssDNA that are packaged by M13 capsid proteins. These 'inho' phages can be sized to

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 86-87).<br>A wide variety of engineering activities benefit from the use of rough estimates of the type commonly referred to as back-of-the-envelope calculations. These include evaluating the feasibility of an idea, planning experiments, sizing components, and setting up and checking detailed analyses. The overall goals of this thesis were to understand how people make rough estimates for physical quantities and to understand how that activity relates to unde
