Passive, Failure-Tolerant Docking and Undocking with Articulated Magnets
Current spacecraft docking relies on active movement (e.g. thrusters) to close the gap between participants, and to separate them when undocking. I intend to develop a... -
Cornell Ithaca Campus heat use data for a model year
Hourly steam use data for all significant buildings from the fiscal year (FY) 2017 (1 July 2016 - 30 June 2017) are provided. The total annual campus heating load in FY 2017 was... -
Scalable Unsupervised Learning for Unmanned Exploration
Though we dream of the day when humans will first walk on Mars, these dreams remain in the distance. For now, we explore vicariously by sending robotic agents like the Curiosity... -
Multi-Scale Modeling of Crack Nucleation and Growth in Additively Manufactured Alloys
Additive manufacturing (AM) promises growth in design space, increased speed of production, and decreased cost to aircraft and space technology engineering. For this new process... -
