Modeling and development of fabrication method for embedding membrane based microvalve in bulk microfluidic device

Creator:: Abhinkar, Bindiya S.
Abstract:: PDMS membrane-based microvalves are becoming increasingly more important for the control of fluid flow within MECS applications such as microreactors used to synthesize nanoparticles and biological macromolecules. The motivation for pursuing PDMS membrane-based microvalves is for implementing a plug flow microreactor to simulate slug flow yielding a narrower residence time...

An experimental approach to analyze large notched composite panels loaded in out-of-plane shear

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...

Bottom-up cost modeling for vanadium redox flow battery component manufacturing

Creator:: Southworth, Zachary J.
Abstract:: In the U.S. there are increasing energy demands that require an ever-increasing need for the large-scale use of new energy resources. Specifically, sporadic renewable energy sources are being incorporated into utility energy portfolios. Thus, supporting stationary energy storage technologies are needed to make these renewable sources reliable and feasible for...

Developing a Methodology to Study the Effects of Adhesive Flow Penetration on Wood Adhesive Bond Performance by using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC)

Creator:: Ching, Daniel Jackson
Abstract:: Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...

Selective laser melting of austenitic oxide dispersion strengthened steel: Processing, microstructural evolution and strengthening mechanisms

Creator:: Ghayoor, Milad, Lee, Kijoon, He, Yujuan, Chang, Chih-hung, Paul, Brian K., and Pasebani, Somayeh
Abstract:: Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloys exhibit superior mechanical properties due to the presence of nano-sized thermally stable oxide particles. However, manufacturing of ODS alloys is very complex and composed of numerous time consuming steps such as mechanical alloying, which is one of the main barriers toward the widespread application of...

The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

Creator:: Totpal, Alexander D.
Abstract:: The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...

Study of Energy Harvesting Performance of Oscillating Airfoils using a Discrete Vortex Model

Creator:: Kamrani Fard, Kiana
Abstract:: The energy harvesting performance of oscillating airfoils is studied using a discrete vortex model (DVM) with a leading-edge separation criterion. The airfoil undergoes a combined sinusoidal heaving and pitching motion at reduced frequencies of k = 0.06 − 0.16, with heaving amplitude of h0 = 0.5c, and pitching amplitude of...

A Novel Progressive Damage and Failure Analysis Model for Matrix Compression using 3D Continuum Damage Mechanics and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Creator:: Solanki, Satish
Abstract:: The matrix compression behavior is assumed similar to tension, and many material's elastic and damage parameters are considered equal in tension and compression but experimentally not explored. This assumption leads to unrealistic or very far from the actual behavior of the matrix under compression. Moreover, the pre-existing implemented Abaqus models...
