Title: OPTIMIZATION AND EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION OF ELECTROSTATIC ADHESIVES

Show moreElectrostatic adhesion provides an attachment mechanism for robotic grippers that is both controllable and e ective over a wide range of surfaces including conduc- tive, semi-conductive and insulating materials. The adhesives function by utilizing a set of high voltage electrodes that generate an electric eld. This electric eld polarizes the substrate material, thus generating an adhesion force. Optimizing the geometry of these conductive electrodes provides enhanced adhesion forces that in- creases attachment robustness. Previous researchers have attempted to increase the adhesion level of an electrostatic adhesive but no e ort has been made to optimize the geometry and con guration of the electrodes. This thesis presents a method to increase the adhesion level of electrostatic adhesives by optimizing the electrode geo- metric parameters: width of the electrodes, thickness of the electrodes, gap between the electrodes and number of electrodes. With the optimized electrode geometry, an improvement of up to 500 percent in shear stress is achieved compared to previously published values.

Show moreOpen die forging technique is mainly used to achieve desired product shape and refine the product mechanical quality. Large ingots tend to have internal defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity, which have to be closed during the primary forging stage to ensure sound internal quality of forged parts. In this work, the finite element method was used to simulate the open die forging process, varying different process parameters that affect the void closure behavior profoundly. Numerical models were constructed in FORGE 2011® using practical forging parameters and material rheological data obtained experimentally from Gleeble compression tests. Forging variables including die design, operational practice and boundary conditions were studied thoroughly. Parameters such as die width, die geometry, die overlap, reduction amount per pass were studied with intense attention paid on the specific mechanical properties of H13 steel, so that this study can be applied to solve real world problems. Also, the temperature gradient and friction condition between billet and die were investigated. Physical experiment validation was carried out with a miniature billet sample. The experiment results were compared with the simulations, showing there was good agreement between the two, giving confidence to the simulation results. Based on the simulation results the optimum forging parameters were proposed to ensure full closure of internal defects.

Show moreWhile vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have a simpler design than the horizontal-axis wind turbines, their development has been hindered due to their unsteady aerodynamics and complex flow field. In this thesis, a parameterized study is conducted to simulate a baseline VAWT using STAR-CCM+, a commercial finite volume code. A hybrid grid scheme, with structured prism layer mesh at the surface of the blades, is used to properly resolve the turbulent boundary layers on the blades. The flow was highly unsteady due to the rotating geometries. Thus, a sliding mesh technique is implemented at the interface of rotating and stationary zones. The dominant factors limiting the performance of the VAWTs are investigated for a range of moderate tip speed ratios, by visualizing the flow field and modeling the individual blade aerodynamics. The VAWT aerodynamics is shown to be dominated by the dynamic stall, at low tip speed ratios, and by the blade-wake interactions and the wake blockage effects, at high tip speed ratios. The concept of turbine coupling is used to improve the performance of the VAWTs by their internal aerodynamic interactions. Two counter-rotating turbines are placed in close proximity, and simulated over the same range of tip speed ratios as before, and for a set of different spacing between them. The effects of spacing and the tip speed ratio on their overall power output and their wake recovery characteristics are then investigated. A cluster of turbines with spacing equal to 1.50 turbine diameters and tip speed ratio of three is shown to have the quickest wake recovery and highest power enhancement, increasing the turbine average power coefficient by 22%.
