Abstract: This work presents a finite element modeling framework to simulate the mechanical behavior of 3D-bioprinted collagen-alginate composite scaffolds. By integrating experimental bioprinting and compression testing with FEBio simulations, we investigated the tunability of compressive modulus…

ME102B provides students with an opportunity to integrate mechanical and electrical systems to create “smart” mechatronics devices. Over the course, students become familiar with event-driven programming, common machine elements, and electromechanical actuators with drive electronics. The Breadboard…

Alef Aeronautics is an automotive and aviation startup developing a personal flight vehicle capable of driving, vertical takeoff and landing, and short range flight. Suspension must accommodate typical driving conditions as well as landing…

CalSol is UC Berkeley's team of undergraduate students who design, build, test, and race fully solar-powered vehicles at an international level, all while developing and raising awareness of clean energy technology. As the rear suspension lead, I was responsible for the design, structural analysis,…

Elroy Air is developing Chaparral, an autonomous hybrid-electric EVTOL platform for middle-mile cargo delivery, commercial and industrial shipping, rapid response humanitarian aid shipping, and military resupply. For ground tarmac testing, auxiliary power is required to unlock actuated brakes…

Paly Robotics (FRC Team 8) competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition, a high school competition to design, program, and build robots that compete in a different challenge every year. Paly Robotics engages its members through building, designing, programming, animation, and community outreach. As…
