Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics Seminar

 From Humpback Whales to Wind Turbines


Dr. Paul F. Jacobs
Principal Partner
Technology Development Associates
North Kingstown, RI


Friday, October 10, 2008
1 PM, 212 Kirk Hall



Abstract

A unique characteristic involving the leading edge of humpback whale 
flippers is being studied for potentially significant advances in the 
design of foils for both hydrodynamic and aerodynamic applications. 
Since the Wright brothers, over 100 years of analysis, experiment, and 
functional operation has lead to the nearly universal design of smooth 
leading edges on foils such as airplane wings, ship rudders, helicopter 
blades, submarine dive planes, turbines, compressors, pumps and fans. 
However, the recent study of a unique biomimetic application involving 
leading edge foils with distinct tubercles or "bumps" is showing some 
truly remarkable characteristics.  Both 3-D computational fluid dynamic 
(CFD) analysis as well as recent wind tunnel tests are indicating 
noteworthy increases in maximum lift, reductions in drag, and especially 
significant, substantially greater angles of attack prior to stall. 
This seminar will highlight the emergence of the idea, recent wind 
tunnel test data, and the potential implications for wind turbines,
helicopters, and fixed wing aircraft.

Subject: [grads] Changes in ELE & BME course codes and # credits
Message-ID: <48EE3FAC.8050600@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering Students,

The 2008-09 URI Catalog includes recent changes that were made to the 
code and number of credits of some ELE and BME courses as well as 
changes to engineering degree requirements. The rationale for these 
changes is summarized below, and a list of course code changes can be 
found in the attached pdf file. You may find it helpful to keep a copy 
of the attachment handy during pre-registration.

(1) Split of combined Lecture + Lab courses into 2 separate courses:

ABET, the US Engineering degree accrediting agency, recommended that the 
department use separate course codes to clearly identify which courses 
were lecture oriented versus those which were lab oriented. So, the 
department split each 4 credit lecture+lab course into two courses by 
creating a new course code. For example, this spring you'll find that 
the former 4 credit course ELE 343 - Electronics II has been split into 
a modified 3 credit lecture only course, ELE343 - Electronics II, plus a 
new, 1 credit lab only course, ELE344 - Electronics II Lab, both of 
which must be taken concurrently.

Lecture and lab course code splits were made to the following courses:
ELE 205, 208, 306, 342, 343, 401, 405, 408, 427, 436, 444, 447, and 458.

(2) Increase in course credits:

One credit was added to each of the following courses:
ELE 322, 331, 480 and 481.
This reflects the addition of 50 minute recitation sessions to ELE 322 
and 331 to cover the use of Mathematical software packages, such as 
MathCAD, to solve engineering problems. Feedback from alumni who'd taken 
the Capstone Design course sequence ELE480-481 indicated that the number 
of course credits did not reflect well the course workload. 
Consequently, we've modified the course syllabus, and increased the 
weekly class time and credit.

(3) Change to new BME course code:

Several Biomedical Engineering focused courses now have the new BME 
course code. The BME degree program is in the process of being updated 
to reflect the areas of expertise of returning and recently hired 
faculty as well as the requirements of ABET for national accreditation.

Specifically, at the undergraduate level,
ELE 207, 282, 307, 382, 482, and 488  have been changed to
BME 207, 282, 307, 382, 482, and 464(lecture)+465(lab).

Next year, ELE 489 will be changed to BME 462+463.

At the Graduate level,
ELE 588     and 589     have been changed to
ELE 564+565 and 562+563.

If you have any questions, please consult with your faculty advisor. If 
  you're not sure who that is, a list can be found by clicking on the 
"Advising" link on the ECBE department web page, http://www.ele.uri.edu/ .

Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels

Subject: [grads] new course code transition impact on eCampus check for
	pre-reqs
Message-ID: <48F90843.7040506@ele.uri.edu>

Dear Students,

This is a follow-up to the earlier email below describing recent ELE and 
BME course code changes in this year's URI catalog. With the changes in 
course codes came a corresponding update in the codes of pre-reqs.

As we transition from old course codes this Fall to new course codes 
this spring, some of you may experience Spring 2009 pre-registration 
problems with eCampus not recognizing that you have satisfied newly 
coded pre-reqs. This will mostly impact students who have taken 
Electronics I and Communication Systems under the old course codes, 
ELE342 and ELE436; the new course codes are ELE341+342 and ELE435+436, 
respectively.

If you experience pre-registration problems and you think that you have 
satisfied all of the course pre-reqs, please do the following:

(1) Send an email to the course instructor requesting a permission 
number to enroll in his/her course. Professor's email addresses can be 
found on http://www.ele.uri.edu/people/?sh=f
(Students having difficulty registering for newly coded
ELE 343+344 : Electronics II + Electronics II lab
should send an email to boud at ele.uri.edu rather than the course instructor.)

(2) List which semesters you successfully passed all of the course 
pre-reqs under the old course codes. If you are currently taking the 
course pre-reg, mention that also.

(3) If there's more than one section of the course lecture or lab, 
specify which section you would like to enroll in.

(4) Include your full name and student ID number.

For example:

"Dear Prof. Yang,

eCampus won't let me enroll in your Spring 2009 courses ELE408 and 409.

However, I completed ELE 305 and 313 in Fall 2007 and am currently 
taking ELE342, so I have the proper pre-reqs to pre-register.

Please send me permission numbers so I can enroll in ELE408 lecture 
section and section 2 of ELE409 lab.

regards,
John Q. Smith
ID# 123456789"

Thank you for your patience during this transition period.

regards,
Prof. Boudreaux-Bartels

 Student Conference
Message-ID: <BLU123-W135F0975FC664D4247F07CA7210@phx.gbl>


"Bodies in Motion"
The University of Rhode Island?s Third Annual Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference.
Saturday, March 28th, 2009.
Submission Deadline, Friday, November 28th, 2008.
Location: Swan Hall

Across academic disciplines, "bodies" ? animal, epistemological, textual, or otherwise ? defy singular definition and elude our efforts to pin them down. As they parallel, intersect, and inform one another, these "bodies" demand rigorous research, creative thinking, and ever-evolving methodologies. How do we account for these "bodies in motion" and the complex ecologies of knowledge that they form? From what critical perspectives ? scientific, mathematic, literary, historical, political, rhetorical, ethical, philosophical ? can we examine these "bodies" in order to learn from them and from others? The graduate community at the University of Rhode Island invites submissions for posters, papers, presentations, performances and panels from a variety of disciplines exploring "bodies in motion." 

Possible topics and areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

?     Theorizing the body or bodies
?     Bodies and environmental crisis 
?     The legal body
?     Economic bodies
?     Political bodies
?     Bodies and health care
?     Biotechnology and ethics of the body
?     Mass media and the global image of bodies
?     Migration, displacement, and/or diasporas
?     Bodies in literature
?     Bodies as machines/Machines as bodies
?     The aesthetics of movement
?     Bodies in the digital age
?     Bodies and the flow of technology
?     Artistic interpretations of the body

Submission Guidelines:
Please propose individual papers or panels and indicate whether you are willing to moderate a panel. Panels of 3-4 presentations are especially welcome. 
To propose a paper, submit a cover page with your name; institutional affiliation; contact information (mailing address, phone number, and email); a 250-word abstract of the paper; a roughly 100-word bio; and a detailed request for audiovisual equipment (if needed). Presentations will be limited to fifteen minutes (about seven double-spaced pages). 
To propose a panel, submit a cover page including the title of the panel and the names of presenters; a panel abstract of 150-250 words; a separate page with the names of presenters, their contact information (mailing address, phone number, and email) and institutional affiliation(s), the titles of their presentations; and a 250-word abstract for each paper. Panels will be one hour and fifteen minutes long. 
The conference committee requests the submission of materials in the body of an email or as an attachment in a Word, text, or PDF document. All submissions should be emailed to gradcon at etal.uri.edu. Please refer any questions you may have to this address as well. The deadline for submissions is 8:00 a.m. on Friday, November 28th, 2008. 
Notification of acceptance will be by Friday, December 19th, 2008.

Abstract


Although nano/microfabrication techniques are rapidly advancing, it 
remains a challenge to fabricate separate individual nanoscale 
structures and actuators en masse. A possible resource for fabricating 
such tiny elements exists within microorganisms. This talk will discuss 
the practical integration of biomolecular motors for biologically 
powered microfluidic systems as well as the development of polymeric 
protein nanostructures such as bacterial flagellar filaments for use in 
micro and nanoscale devices. Bacterial flagellar propulsion represents 
an extraordinary system in nature for generating motion at the small 
scale. Their motion induces a local flow that can be used to propel 
cells, as well as much larger structures through a fluid environment. We 
have demonstrated the enabling technologies necessary to harness 
bacterial flagellar filaments on microstructures for use in micron-scale 
engineered propulsion systems. The control of microstructures powered by 
bacterial teamsters will be highlighted through the talk. We will also 
introduce biologically-inspired swimming microbots utilizing the 
polymorphic transformation of bacterial flagellar filaments as a direct 
fluid actuation of a nanoscale structural ?machine? at low Reynolds 
numbers. The use of biological nanostructures in engineered systems 
represents a critical step toward understanding both how the biological 
world has evolved at the nanoscale as well as how scientists and 
engineers can mimic and improve on nature using modern fabrication and 
assembly.
