Model-Based, Multi-Criteria Optimization for Sensor Placement and Selection
TS-073138 —
Designing online monitoring (OLM) for safety‑critical systems is constrained by scarce early‑stage operational data and by quantitative models that are slow to build, brittle across configurations, and costly to iterate. This creates expensive sensor networks with blind spots, poor diagnosabil…

A Generalized Mistuning Model for Bladed Disk Systems
TS-070971 — The Need
Modern gas turbines and compressors rely on bladed disks, which are highly sensitive to mistuning caused by manufacturing tolerances, wear, or damage. Existing modeling tools are fragmented, complex, and often limited to specific mistuning types. Industry will greatly benefit from a unified…

Broadband Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Adaptive Frequency Tuning
TS-070970 —
Many vibration-based energy harvesting systems are limited by narrow operational frequency bands, making them inefficient for environments where excitation frequencies drift, such as in bridges, machinery, or vehicles. Current solutions often sacrifice energy density to broaden bandwidth. A more e…

Novel Deep Learning Model for Reconnaissance of Infrastructure on Drones
TS-063007 — The Need
In disaster-stricken areas, timely and accurate reconnaissance is paramount for effective response and recovery efforts. Traditional methods of assessing damage to critical infrastructure, such as power distribution poles, often involve time-consuming manual inspections, leading to delays …
