hello, I'm looking at an opportunity this summer to conduct a research project at a university, however due to constraints of the program, i have to design and create my own project to submit, and hope someone decides to sponsor me. the problem is that being a freshman in college, i don't know an overly large amount about a suitable project i could do. so I'm wondering if anyone on here has any suggestions for something i could research over a 10 week period. here are experiments that have been posted for other students to sign up for:
Mechanical engineering:Abstract:The thermal and mechanical loads involved in the grinding process can damage the surface layer of the workpiece. Choosing process parameters that will maximize efficiency while avoiding damage requires good prediction tools, i.e. models of the process. However, while a number of researchers have created models for surface grinding, few models have been developed for the more commonly used process of external cylindrical grinding.
Task:• Based on the existing surface-grinding model, determine what adaptations are needed to model external cylindrical grinding.
• Implement the external cylindrical grinding model in the FEM software Abaqus.
• Validate the results of the model with practical tests.
Electrical engineering: Impedance monitoring reveals information about the biological tissue under test. That way temporary changes as hearbeat and respiration can be monitored, as their mechanical action moves good conduction (blood) or bad conduction (air) matter in the chest-region. This can be monitored in an non-contact mode via magnetic induction.
Task:In this project a multi-channel sensor-array for heart, lung and motion monitoring shall be developed. Existing circuits and modules shall be utilized.
Work package:
Literature work
• Hardware development ((pre-) amplifier, measurement coils, etc.)
• Test and Evaluation on a Dummy
• Optional: Test in an animal trial
so if anyone could help me out with potential research i could do, i would be greatly appreciative. sorry this is so long, i wanted to cover everything in one post.
