A Scalable Low-Cost-UAV Traffic Network (uNet)
(2016-01)This article proposes a new Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operation paradigm to enable a large number of relatively low-cost UAVs to fly beyond-line-of-sight without costly sensing and communication systems or substantial ... -
Reply to comment on: Lorentz violation in high-energy ions
(2017-06)This response clari es that, without accounting for the transverse Doppler e ect [1], the experimental analysis cannot rule-out (and develop bounds on) the Lorentz violation, especially since the energy of the transition ... -
Treat All Integrals as Volume Integrals: A unified, parallel, grid-based method for evaluation of volume, surface, and path integrals on implicitly defined domains
(2017-09)We present a unified method for numerical evaluation of volume, surface, and path integrals of smooth, bounded functions on implicitly defined bounded domains. The method avoids both the stochastic nature (and slow ... -
Supplementary Information for "A Process for Estimating Minimum Feature Size in Selective Laser Sintering"
(2018)This document provides additional information, data, and results removed for conciseness from the publication: Weiss, B., Diegel, O., Storti, D., Ganter, M., 2018. "A Process for Estimating Minimum Feature Size in Selective ... -
Impact of Blade Mounting Structures on Cross-Flow Turbine Performance
(2018-04-24)Cross-flow turbines convert fluid kinetic energy to rotational mechanical energy via blades rotating about an axis perpendicular to free stream direction. These turbines may be further sub-divided into those that generate ... -
Data-Driven Additive Manufacturing Constraints for Topology Optimization
(2018-04-25)The topology optimization (TO) of structures to be produced using additive manufacturing (AM) is explored using a data-driven constraint function on the minimum producible size of small features in different shapes and ... -

Comparison of cross-flow turbine performance under torque-regulated and speed-regulated control
(AIP, 2019)When experimentally evaluating the performance of a wind or water current turbine, one must impose a regulating torque on the turbine rotor by electrical or mechanical means. Some options limit this controlling torque to ... -
An experimental assessment of analytical blockage corrections for turbines
(2019)In laboratory experiments involving wind or water turbines, it is often desirable to correct measured performance for the effects of model blockage. However, there has been limited experimental validation of the analytical ... -
