Lalitha Sridhar, Shankar (2016-12-05)The mechanical properties of tissues are important indicators of tissue “health”. It has been recorded and acknowledged that diseased tissues due to cancer or other conditions tend to stiffen with increase in strain, ...
-
Chu, Hung-Chieh (2017-05-03)In this study, in order to address the immersed boundary condition, which was the critical issue regarding the fictitious domain method, two new strategies for addressing the numerical integral related to the immersed ...
-
Mortazavi, Farzam (2018-10-22)Eccentrically operating turbomachinery components such as impellers and seals are subject to flow induced forces known as rotordynamic forces. Rotordynamic forces can be detrimental to the machine stability and longevity. ...
-
Stover, Benjamin Michael (2020-05-28)For common homogenous engineering materials, traditional testing methods, such as uniaxial tensile testing, provide effective means to determine important material properties such as the elastic modulus. However, characterizing ...
-
Liu, Xuchen (2015-05-04)Elasticity imaging, which is also known as Elastography, aims to determine the elastic property distribution of non-homogeneous deformable solids such as soft tissues. This can be done non-destructively using displacement ...
-
Prodduturu, Harika Reddy (2016-04-26)Roadside safety devices are designed to protect vehicle occupants from injuries. As the purpose of roadside safety hardware is to be functional while minimizing the risk of occupant injury, the occupant risk criteria are ...
-
Development of a Finite Element Computer Model of a Motorcycle Using Reverse Engineering Technique Schulz, Nathaniel David (2016-05-18)Over the past years, extensive research efforts have been made to improve roadside safety hardware to reduce injury to occupants of four-wheel vehicles and heavy trucks. In comparison, limited research has been conducted ...
-
Wang, Zhujiang (2016-05-05)In this dissertation, we present novel schemes for a static simulation of a buckled Euler beam with curve channel constraints in two dimensional space and simulation of the dynamic response of a soft Kirchhoff rod in three ...
-
Zhu, Huanlin (2015-10-09)Bodies are prestressed with the intention to enhance their load carrying capacity. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of prestressing the constituents in composite bodies on the overall mechanical ...
-
Reed, Brady M (2018-12-07)Nanoparticles and nanostructured materials have attracted great interest for treating bacteria as a potential chemical-free method. This research carries out experiments to evaluate the antibacterial properties of nanoparticles ...
-
Nanda, Arnab (2017-05-09)he energy for sustaining life is released through the oxidation of glucose, fats, and proteins. A part of the energy released within each cell is stored as chemical energy of Adenosine Tri- Phosphate molecules, which is ...
-
Reis, John Olumide (2017-12-11)In this research, the effectiveness of CeO2, Y2O3 and Al2O3 as anti-corrosion and anti-wear additives in commercial grease was investigated. An experimental approach was used to carry on the research. The weight loss of ...
-
Song, Ruyue (2015-11-06)In this study, creep response of metals and polyimide composites at elevated temperatures are analyzed by using empirical models. Empirical models are typically constructed based on experimental observations and their ...
-
Murphy, Jason Kyle (2014-12-03)Biodegradable polymers have been in use for biomedical applications such as sutures and various implants for many years. In the recent decade, research into the development of biodegradable cardiac stents has expanded. ...
-
Sharma, Roshan (2018-11-28)Platooning is an extension of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) and forward collision avoidance technology that provides automated lateral and longitudinal vehicle control to maintain a tight formation with short ...
-
Mei, Yue (2017-07-20)This dissertation proposes and develops novel features into the existing inverse algorithms for characterizing nonhomogeneous material properties of soft solids. Firstly, a new feature that material properties are defined ...
-
Kim, Wooram (2016-07-25)In this dissertation one family of second-order and two families of higher-order time integration algorithms are newly developed. For the development of a new family of second-order time integration algorithms, the original ...
