Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Composite material
  • Electrical engineering

His primary areas of investigation include Structural engineering, Kinematics, Kinematic coupling, Nanotechnology and Carbon nanotube. His research in Structural engineering intersects with topics in Bistability and Bearing. His Kinematics research includes themes of Parallelogram and Nonlinear system, Control theory, Sensitivity.

His Kinematic coupling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mechanical engineering, Coupling, Clamping, Perpendicular and Computer hardware. His study in Mechanical engineering is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Precision engineering and Point. His Carbon nanotube study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Yield, Electron beam physical vapor deposition, Microstructure and Mass fraction.

His most cited work include:

  • Precision Machine Design (715 citations)
  • A curved-beam bistable mechanism (421 citations)
  • Rapid growth and flow-mediated nucleation of millimeter-scale aligned carbon nanotube structures from a thin-film catalyst. (280 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Mechanical engineering, Structural engineering, Composite material, Kinematics and Bearing. His research links Engineering drawing with Mechanical engineering. His Structural engineering and Stiffness and Deflection investigations all form part of his Structural engineering research activities.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alexander H. Slocum mainly focuses on Marine engineering, Uranium, Mechanical engineering, Wind power and Energy storage. His Marine engineering research integrates issues from Wave energy converter and Floating wind turbine. His work on Mechanical engineering is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Engineering drawing.

His research in Wind power intersects with topics in Natural resource economics, Environmental impact assessment and Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Greenhouse gas brings together such families of science as Fossil fuel, Electricity, Agricultural economics and Renewable energy. His research investigates the connection between Seawater and topics such as Offshore wind power that intersect with issues in Energy harvesting.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A low-dissipation, pumpless, gravity-induced flow battery (23 citations)
  • A decentralized biomass torrefaction reactor concept. Part I: Multi-scale analysis and initial experimental validation (16 citations)
  • Techno-economic analysis of concentrated solar power plants in terms of levelized cost of electricity (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Composite material
  • Electrical engineering

Alexander H. Slocum mostly deals with Uranium, Seawater, Environmental engineering, Energy storage and Floating wind turbine. His work is dedicated to discovering how Environmental engineering, Turbine are connected with Pumped-storage hydroelectricity and Outflow and other disciplines. His Energy storage study combines topics in areas such as Greenhouse gas and Renewable energy.

As a part of the same scientific family, Alexander H. Slocum mostly works in the field of Renewable energy, focusing on Flow and, on occasion, Nuclear engineering.
