A Model for Nonlinear Electrokinetics in Electric Field Guided Assembly of Colloids
(2011-02-22)
Electric field guided assembly of colloids is a new area of research in colloidal science where sub-micrometer particles, or colloids, are assembled using patterned electrodes. The design of these devices is often limited ...
Modeling of Shape Memory Alloys Considering Rate-independent and Rate-dependent Irrecoverable Strains
(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 ...
