3D Vibration Isolation Systems Modeling for Air Handling Units
Aponte Rivera, Alfredo (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2014)Spring isolators systems are commonly used in a variety of ways in today’s construction industry. They are an essential part of the design of many mechanical systems that are in need of absorbing and dissipating unwanted ... -
Aircraft Wing Spanwise Air-Load Distribution using MATLAB
Holguino Borda, Jonathan (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2014)Aircraft design is a complex task that involves the interaction between aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics and structures. In particular, the structural design tasks involve the consideration of a significant ... -
Crack Growth in Compressive Stress Fields
Méndez Cuevas, Luis Gadiel (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2013)To understand how to analyze Damage Tolerance in an aerospace component loaded in compression one must first obtain correct Fatigue Crack Growth curves. Once the fatigue data curves are correct one could then move forward ... -
Development of an Open Source Tool for the Preliminary Structural Design of a Small Wind Turbine Based on National and International Standards
Miranda Vélez, José A. (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2013)Wind energy have proven to be a viable option in the production of electricity. The benefits from wind energy sources include reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, water conservation and the diversification of the ... -
Preliminary Wind Turbine Assessment Using Urban Scaling Factors in Puerto Rico
Soto Cora, Marcos A. (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2012)Abstract - It is well known that wind energy applications are most effective in wide open areas. As shown in the literature, rather than completely discard the location of wind turbines in urban areas, the reduction in ... -
Surface Response Modeling for Rotor-Dynamics Systems
Rodríguez Rivera, Iván (Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, 2014)This paper presents the way to generate an equation that does not exist, to analyze different rotor-dynamics system. With the analysis and design software, the results desired were obtained in order to be able to create ...
