  • Fluid-structure interaction analysis with the particle finite element method

    Creator:
    Zhu, Minjie
    Abstract:
    To facilitate the evaluation and design of structures subjected to fluid loading, a study of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) using the particle finite element method (PFEM) is presented to approximate the responses and sensitivities of structures which interact with fluid. A wide range of structural types are permissible by making no...

  • DemoFlow: Low-Cost Flow Cytometry for Increased Access to Medical Diagnostics

    Creator:
    Stole, Kyler M.
    Abstract:
    Flow cytometry is a highly-extensible technology for performing rapid multi-parametric particle analysis. The use of flow cytometry has proliferated with the advent of smaller, intuitive, and more affordable instruments, along with a perpetual increase in research and medical applications. However, the technology is still largely inaccessible due to cost and...

  • Application of Cosmogenic Nuclides and Argon Geochronology to Paleoclimate, Paleomagnetism, and Paleohydrology

    Creator:
    Balbas, Andrea M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation uses argon geochronology and cosmogenic nuclide surface exposure dating methods to address three research questions. The first question concerns a geomagnetic instability recorded in lava flows on the island of Floreana in the Galapagos Archipelago. Changes in the Earth’s magnetic field (intensity and orientation) occur frequently throughout geologic...

  • Seismic Performance of Square Reinforced Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Titanium Alloy Bars

    Creator:
    Lostra, Mackenzie M. W.
    Abstract:
    Large numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges were built in the past that are now considered seismically deficient. The structural members most likely to be considered deficient are the supporting columns. Typical deficient columns contain inadequate transverse reinforcement and poorly detailed lap splice lengths above the foundation. Insufficient lap splice...

  • Computing Bounded Chains and Surfaces in a Simplicial Complex with Bounded-treewidth 1-skeleton

    Creator:
    Black, Mitchell
    Abstract:
    We consider three problems on simplicial complexes: the Optimal Bounded Chain Problem, the Optimal Homologous Chain Problem, and 2-Dim-Bounded-Surface. The Optimal Bounded Chain Problem asks to find the minimum weight d-chain in a simplicial complex K bounded by a given (d−1)-chain, if such a d-chain exists. The Optimal Homologous Chain...

  • An Exploration of Faculty Sensemaking in the Adoption of Course Social and Cognitive Engagement (CSCE) Surveys

    Creator:
    Ironside, Allyson J.
    Abstract:
    The work of engineering education researchers has resulted in the development of research-based instructional strategies (RBISs) aimed at providing educators with means to increase student learning. Research has shown that there is a disconnect between the development of RBISs and their use by educators. Means to make new practices more...

  • Exploratory Study to Uncover Student Mental Models of Singly Linked Lists in the C Programming Language

    Creator:
    Almadhoun, Eman
    Abstract:
    In computer science, learning abstract fundamental programming concepts requiring students to understand memory management can be very difficult and lead to misunderstandings that carry on into advanced topics. This is especially true in data structures with abstract data types. Understanding how novice students think and reason about data structures is...

  • Evaluation of Cycling Behavior: Factors that Influence Bicyclists’ Comprehension, Comfort, and Stress

    Creator:
    Cobb, Douglas P.
    Abstract:
    Travel demand has increased due to population growth, increase of vehicle ownership, and development patterns resulting in greater levels of congestion, pollution, and crash frequency. One approach to demand management is to increase the share of trips made by bicycles. With the increase in bicycling rates, there is a critical...

    Creator:
    Krivova, Maria
    Abstract:
    Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...
