Fast stress relaxation at the surface of silica glass : mechanism and effects
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)It is proposed that the fast relaxation of surface stress takes place as water is able to diffuse into the glass surface. The water in the glass surface causes local fluctuations in the composition which act to relax the ... -
Fatigue and fracture in polymer networks and their composites
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Fatigue is encountered in wide spectrum applications varying from biomaterials to energy storage devices. As we explore novel materials to meet stringent performance demands of new applications, strategies to tackle fatigue ... -
Fatigue of vanadium-hydrogen alloys
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1976-12)S-N data obtained from stress-controlled fatigue tests revealed a pronounced improvement in fatigue life for hydrided vanadium, but little or no effect for 132 ppm hydrogen in solution. Similarly, strain-control tests ... -
Fault tolerant control of multirotor vehicles
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)The future of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicles involves many exciting and novel configurations, among which are electric multirotor vehicles and high-speed coaxial helicopters. These concepts move away from the ... -
FEA modeling of heat transfer between a Joule heated Wollaston probe and substrate
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)This thesis describes a finite element model developed to simulate a microprobe experiment used to measure the thermal conductivities of thin films. First the experimental setup is described and an analytical model that ... -
Feasibility of using dynamically oscillating surfaces to control Tollmien-Schlichting waves
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)This work characterizes and controls Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) waves by means of Piezoelectrically-Driven Oscillating Surface (PDOS) actuators, using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). A parametric study of PDOS actuator ... -

(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1984-08) -
Feature assessment model for data portal evaluation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)The open data movement of recent years has led to an increase in the existence of online data portals that publish data for reuse. These data portals are utilized in a range of contexts, especially for publishing public ... -
Feature generation for quantification of visual similarity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)Contributions of this thesis include an efficient implementation of OBVIS and SDA, guidelines for setting layer sizes in SDA from an implementation efficiency perspective, an analysis of the strength and weakness of OBVIS ... -
Feedback control of smart lighting systems based on color science
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)Finally, this thesis presents a framework for using graphical rendering tools along with point sensor measurements for estimating the light field and using this estimate for feedback control. Computer graphics software is ... -
Feedbacks and responses of lake ecosystems to climatic drivers
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-12)Though delimited by readily observed boundaries, lakes are not isolated systems but integrate and respond to processes that occur throughout their watersheds. These systems are currently undergoing rapid changes on regional ... -
