  • Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Jeffrey Hanson

  • Description: Mechanical Engineering MS Thesis Defense by Mr. Jeffrey Hanson DATE: June 7, 2021 TIME: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. LOCATION: Zoom link: https://umassd.zoom.us/j/99304423627?pwd=dkxwWFFuVlZkUVZOVkRLTVdlRmJPUT09 TOPIC: Tethered Recharge of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles ABSTRACT: The United States Navy (USN) makes extensive use of Autonomous Undersea Vehicles (AUVs) and has strongly supported continued advancements in their capabilities. However, mission duration and range remain strongly constrained by battery capacity. Options for extending duration include connecting to docking stations and modifying the vehicle to harvest wave and solar energy. These systems allow the AUV to recharge over the course of days allowing for extended operation but mission logistics can be complex, performance is dependent on ocean conditions, and vulnerability due to surface exposure is a concern. In this work an alternative approach for self-recharging of an AUV is examined. The approach borrows from a form of airborne wind-energy known as crosswind kite power whereby a vehicle is tethered to the ground and undergoes controlled glide through periodic trajectories at speeds much greater than the freestream. Power is generated by onboard turbines. In the present work this approach is applied to an AUV temporarily anchored to the seabed in a uniform ocean current. While undergoing controlled motion, flow over the vehicle turns the propeller in reverse and adds energy to the batteries. As the rate of this tethered recharge is strongly tied to the vehicle aerodynamic efficiency (L/D), wings are affixed to the AUV body. An iterative optimization method is developed to determine the planform and airfoil section of the wings that results in the maximum rate of recharge. This method is applied to the design of wings for the General Dynamics Mission Systems Sandshark micro AUV. The resulting optimized micro AUV undergoes tethered recharge in 9.1 hours in an ocean current of 0.2 ms-1. Additional scaling studies are conducted to examine the influence of ocean current speed and vehicle size on the rate of recharge. Reynolds effects are found to increase the functional dependence of recharge rate on flow speed beyond a nominal cubic law. Recharge power increases by 8.8 when the freestream is doubled. The influence of vehicle size on recharge power is also found to be affected by flow scaling and recharge rates were found to be 5.6% greater than those predicted by a nominal area rule. In all cases optimizing wings for specific size and freestream speed was found to be beneficial and increased recharge power by 12.5% and 26.2% respectively beyond that of a baseline vehicle. The results of this study demonstrate that tethered recharge is a viable means of extending mission duration of existing AUVs.

  • Marc St. Pierre: Black & White - Star Store Campus
  • Location: > See description for location

  • Contact: University Art Gallery
  • Description: Marc St. Pierre: Black & White Location: University Art Gallery, Star Store Campus, Downtown New Bedford, MA Open through September 9, 2021 Reception: AHA! Night, Thursday, August 12, 6-8 pm Gallery hours: Mon-Fri 9 am - 6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (second Thursday of every month) The University Art Gallery in New Bedford is proud to present Black & White, an exhibition by a beloved UMass Dartmouth professor, the late Marc St. Pierre (June 23, 1952 - December 2, 2019), featuring a selection of mixed media drawings and collage with encaustic, as well as black and white photography. Drawings created between 2008 and 2012, layered geometric elements, and abstract forms create a rich and poignant experience filled with wonder and exploration. They took inspiration from the 'man-made', architectural plans, diagrams, and maps of early explorers. In his artist statement from 2012, Marc said,“As the drawing process evolves, organic shapes and gestural lines are introduced over the groundwork in transparent overlays. This provides a counterpoint to the precision associated with the geometry and acts as a multiple exposure in photography. This pictorial space becomes a dialog of random marks that combines the constructed with the unsystematic. My drawings intend to move the eye within an abstract and shallow picture plane in a gradual release of time. The illusion of a 'deep space' in Marc's work, invites visitors into a complex, hazy, and multi-dimensional world of collage and encaustics that are presented in smaller formats in the exhibition. Describing his process in 2017, Marc wrote, "First, I use a variety of printmaking processes as a departure for recording marks, surfaces, and layers. This becomes a collage groundwork that allows me to invent the abstract equivalent of land patterns such as the meeting point of landmasses and water, for example. Secondly, additional layers of tracings from actual maps and topographic patterns are introduced. These drawings become a physical overlay suspended in translucent wax." Curiosity and the connection between the creative and scientific, as well as an equally strong interest in observing the tangible are also very much a part of Marc's pinhole camera work shown at Crapo Gallery. After his retirement in 2017, Marc was often seen counting the time of his exposures while photographing various New Bedford locations. According to Gallery Director, Viera Levitt, "Marc would talk about taking his pinhole photographs, leaving for these expeditions from the Star Store Campus with a repurposed box readied with a small hole for capturing images directly on the photo paper. He enjoyed telling stories to his impromptu audiences including the building guard, about the random passers-by, observing his 'mysterious box' on the ground, ready to 'shoot'! It was indeed magic to see the one-of-a-kind monotypes he was able to capture with such simple, but skilled technique and his great patience for experimentation." The exhibition is open through September 9 during the gallery hours Mon-Fri 9 am-6 pm and until 9 pm during AHA! Nights (the second Thursday of every month). The special reception is planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, August 12, from 6 to 8 pm.

  • Description: Online Teaching and Learning Strategies is a rigorous four-week, fully online certification course that introduces faculty to the current research and best practices for online teaching and learning. Using their own discipline-specific course materials for activities, faculty will work independently, collaboratively with peers from across campus, and with Instructional Designers to design and build one unit of online instruction in a myCourses site. This unit will meet the Quality Online Course Review Rubric criteria and be a model that faculty can reference and replicate as they continue to develop their upcoming fully online course(s).
