(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting stent implantation has been of great benefit in coronary applications, whereas in peripheral applications, success rates remain low. Analysis of healing ...

(2015-07-30)Continuum thermodynamic constitutive phase field models are developed to simulate the rate dependent, thermomechanical response and precipitate formation in shape memory alloys (SMAs). The two models are based on the ...
-
(2018-01-09)The research presented in this dissertation is aimed at advancing the current understanding of the mechanical behavior of three distinct complex soil systems, as follows: gas hydrate bearing sediment, partially saturated ...

A Gradient-based Constitutive Model to Predict Size Effects in the Response of Shape Memory Alloys (2015-06-05)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) show size effect in their response because the behavior of small-scale SMA structures deviates from that of the bulk material. Ni-Fe-Ga ferromagnetic SMA micropillars, for example, demonstrated ...
-
(2012-08-15)The aim of this work is to develop and validate a continuum model for the simulation of the thermomechanical response of a shape memory polymer (SMP). Rather than integral type viscoelastic model, the approach here is based ...
-
(2011-02-22)This dissertation addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and structural analysis pertaining to rate-independent and rate-dependent irrecoverable inelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). A new model for ...
-
(2017-12-12)The aim of this study is to model the macroscopic response of light-activated shape memory polymers (LASMPs) subject to mechanical loadings and exposure to light at certain wavelengths and frequencies. When exposed to ...

(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This work investigates the use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for vibration isolation and damping of mechanical systems. The first part of this work evaluates the nonlinear dynamics of a passive vibration isolation and ...
