Creator:: Casebier, Justin C.
Abstract:: The surgical standard of care to partially restore grasping function after a traumatic spinal cord injury is a reconstructive tendon transfer-surgery that connects all four finger flexors to an expendable wrist extensor. While restorative, this surgery has a fundamental problem; the movement of all four fingers flexors is directly coupled,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Miller, Robert
Abstract:: Cultural differences between designers and users is an important aspect to consider when designing products for other countries. However, many prominent authors in the human factors engineering field have failed to specifically address how to identify and utilize cultural differences in user interface (UI) design. This research evaluated if design...

Creator:: Nelson, Dallas
Abstract:: Deep rolling is a surface finishing technique that is widely used in several industries, specifically aerospace and automotive. Extending fatigue life by inducing compressive residual stresses at and below the deep rolled surface has been the primary driving force behind this newfound popularity. Understanding the development of the residual stresses...

Creator:: Hudson, Tyler R.
Abstract:: Spot fires caused by lofted embers (i.e., firebrands) can be a significant factor in the spread of wildland fires. Embers can be especially dangerous near the wildland-urban interface (WUI) because of the potential for the fire to be spread near or on structures. Many studies have investigated the transport of...

Creator:: Froemming, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Identifying material characteristics of composites is important in designing any structural system. The aerospace industry relies on these material properties not only to design a functional aircraft, but also a safe and reliable one. Since carbon fiber composites are relatively new materials, little is known about its characteristics under certain...

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin T.
Abstract:: As drop-on-demand (DOD) applications continue to gain ground in desktop inkjet-printing, 3D printing, fluid mixing, and other areas the demand for higher frequency operations are beginning to push against the current physical boundaries in DOD technology. The current research is exploring the possibility of controlling drop volume and velocity at...

Creator:: Hammerquist, Chad C.
Abstract:: This work is a culmination of a series of published works related to the use of the Material Point Method (MPM) in modeling wood adhesive bonds. The use of wood as construction material has the potential to play a small role in the solution to the current CO2 and climate...

Creator:: Keshavarzi, Elham
Abstract:: There are many uncertainties that complex engineered systems will face throughout their lifecycles due to changes in internal and external conditions. It is desirable for complex engineered systems to be resilient against various uncertainties. The ability to overcome such uncertainties should be embedded into the system from the beginning. However,...
