  • Chemical Solution Deposition and Advanced Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mason, Ashley D.
    Abstract:
    Piezoelectric materials convert mechanical strain into a dielectric displacement, as well as the converse, allowing these materials to be used as sensors, actuators, and transducers. Currently, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the primary material used in these applications. Due to environmental toxicity and safety concerns associated with Pb, development of...

  • Systematic design of biologically-inspired engineering solutions

    Creator:
    Nagel, Jacquelyn Kay
    Abstract:
    Biological organisms, phenomena and strategies, herein referred to as biological systems, provide a rich set of analogies that can be used to inspire engineering innovation. Biologically-inspired, or biomimetic, designs are publicly viewed as creative and novel solutions to human problems. Moreover, some biomimetic designs have become so commonplace that it...
