Technology (MIT) Mediated Matter Group is honing its research into robotic swarm printing by focusing its efforts on material sophistication, or ‘tunability’, and communication or coordination between fabrication units. Here, the group’s Neri Oxman, Jorge Duro-Royo, Steven Keating, Ben Peters and Elizabeth Tsai illustrate this by describing three case studies that investigate robotically contro...

3 To my family 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I acknowledge the assistance of my advisor Dr. Su-Shing Chen. I appreciate his valuable academic advice, his kindness, help and support without which, it would have been impossible for me to assume the process toward my Ph.D. degree. I would like to thank all of my Ph.D. Chris Jermaine, whose teaching I have enjoyed immensely and I have learnt a lot from his cou...

This exploratory research focused on the structural context of working poverty, thereby transcending its individual or behavioral aspects. Two major questions guided this study: (1) How are the working poor different compared to the working nonpoor? (2) How do structural conditions affect the chances of one being working poor? Central findings of the study were that four primary sets of factors...

In this paper, considering symmetric collapse mode for hybrid tubes, and using Tsai-Hill fracture criterion to take into account the off-axis strength of an orthotropic lamina, an analytical model is extended and an expression is derived for mean crushing load and fold lengths of circular hybrid tubes. In this model, the influences of the geometrical dimensions including diameter, thickness of ...

The goal of this contribution is the development of a plane stress orthotropic plasticity material model for clear spruce wood. Such a model has to consider an initially linear elastic domain as well as hardening and softening behaviour at higher states of stress and strain, respectively. Combining the advantage of a smooth single-surface plasticity model with the identification of distinct har...

With the popularization of computer and communication technologies, researchers have attempted to develop computer-assisted testing and diagnostic systems to help students improve their learning performance on the Internet. In developing a diagnostic system for detecting students’ learning problems, it is difficult for individual teachers to address the exact relationships between the test item...

Over the last decade, vehicle localization has been attracting attention in a wide range of applications. A number of localization techniques have been developed to serve a variety of applications Al-Bayari & Sadoun (2005); Aono et al. (1998); Bouju et al. (2002); Cramer (1997); Dao et al.

Much of the previous work in developing analytical models for high performance composite materials has focused on representations of the heterogeneous medium as a homogenous, anisotropic continuum. The development of the equivalent properties of the homogenous medium from the geometry of the microstructure and the fiber and matrix properties has been come to be known as “micromechanics” (Daniel...
