Effect of geometrical defects on the acoustical transport properties of periodic porous absorbers manufactured using stereolithography
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2023-09)Additive manufacturing allows the fabrication of acoustical materials with previously unrealizable micro- and macrostructural complexities. However, the still nascent understanding of various geometrical defects occurring ... -
An investigation of the downwash field of aircraft in relation to problems involved in aerial refueling
(Wichita State University, 1958-06)The purpose of solving the problem presented in this thesis is to provide an approximate method of predicting the downwash effects of a tanker airplane upon a receiver airplane when the two aircraft are flying in formation ... -
Shear-web beam theories
(Wichita State University, 1958-04)Three theories for predicting the stresses in multistringer shear-web beams are presented. The stresses predicted by these theories are compared with experimental results obtained by the NACA. The agreement between the ... -
An investigation of the core of a curved flow field
(Wichita State University, 1958-07)The purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the flow of a jet of air over a curved surface. Only the area upstream of the point on the surface, where the flow ceases to follow the curvature, was considered. ... -
Experimental investigation of acoustic absorption of additively manufactured spinodoid metamaterials
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Porous media have gained attention as a potential replacement for conventional acoustic liners in mitigating aircraft engine noise due to their superior broadband attenuation compared to honeycomb sandwich panels. Among ... -
Stepwise gradient acoustic liners for engine noise reduction applications
(Wichita State University, 2023-07)Aircraft noise has been a persistent issue to the communities around the globe. Conventional acoustic liners used to attenuate aircraft engine noise are only effective over a narrow frequency range and considered poor ... -
Cascaded deep reinforcement learning-based multi-revolution low-thrust spacecraft orbit-transfer
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023-08-10)Transferring an all-electric spacecraft from a launch injection orbit to the geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO) using a low thrust propulsion system presents a significant challenge due to the long transfer time typically ... -
Application of a unique semi-tailless forward swept configuration aircraft to small UAV’S
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)Developments in manufacturing techniques, and an increased demand for small payload transport, has led to a more widespread use of small UAV’s. This type of aircraft, given its unique payload(s) and flight envelope(s), ... -
Evaluation of numerical methods for the analysis of a dry-fabric unit cell used in inflatable pressure vessels
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)The subject of this work focuses on providing a methodology to analyze the mechanical performance of dry-fabrics for their application on inflatable pressure vessels. The first part of the work contains a comprehensive ... -
A novel method to study the dynamic behavior of lattice structures
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)Architected metamaterials are engineered material systems that provide unique mechanical or functional responses that cannot be achieved with naturally existing materials. They offer desirable properties like high ... -
Additively manufactured spinodoid sound absorbers
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-06-05)Spinodoid structures, also called spinodoid metamaterials, are non-periodic cellular structures that mimic spinodal topologies that are observed during diffusion-driven phase separation processes. Computationally efficient ... -
Multispectral deep learning models for wildfire detection
(CEUR-WS, 2022-07-06)Aided by wind, all it takes is one ember and few minutes to create wildfire. Wildfires are growing in frequency and size due to climate change. Wildfires and its consequences are one of the major environmental concerns. ... -
Multimodal combination of text and image tweets for disaster response assessment
(CEUR-WS, 2022-07-06)Social media platforms are a vital source of information in times of natural and man-made disasters. People use social media to report updates about injured or dead people, infrastructure damage, missing or found people ... -
Overview of data-driven hazard detection research at WSU's disaster resilience analytics center for enhancing community resilience
(CEUR-WS, 2022-07-06)Early detection of hazards as well as the identification of geographical regions affected by a disaster play a substantial role in timely intervention and planning of disaster relief operations. We provide an overview of ... -
Identifying elastic wave polarization and bandgaps in periodic solid media
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-08-15)We present a new computational method to accurately identify the elastic wave propagation modes and polarizations in periodic solid structures and metamaterials. The method uses the eigenvectors associated with each ... -
Hybrid CubeSat constellation design for observing hurricanes
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)State-of-the-art weather forecasting systems depend on various data collected by airborne, orbiting, and ground sensors. Regional CubeSat constellations have the potential to improve hurricane forecasting by collecting ... -
Trailing wake vortices: Experimental and modeling comparisons
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)Available literature has demonstrated a scarcity of data collected behind simple, academic wings that were not NACA profiles. Additionally, comparison of the simplified vortex models is typically performed piecewise without ... -
Vortex induced vibrations: Further contributions and an energy application
(Wichita State University, 2022-12)Vortex shedding and Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) of bluff bodies is a fundamental problem in fluid mechanics. The ubiquity of vortex shedding and VIV in several engineering fields has meant that a significant amount ... -
Adaptive scaffolding toward transdisciplinary collaboration: Reflective polyvocal self-study
(Springer International Publishing, 2022-12-16)Contemporary global challenges require experts from various disciplines to work together. Since every field of knowledge has its unique language and discipline-based culture, collaborative inquiry presents an additional ... -
Tunable sound packages consisting of granular aerogels and fibrous media
(Institute of Noise Control Engineering, 2022-09-01)In this study, two granular aerogel materials, both consisting of particles with sizes on the scale of 1 to 50 mm, were first investigated both theoretically and experimentally to improve our understanding of their acoustical ...
