Precision Medicine for the Intervertebral Disc: Image Processing and Computational Modeling of Disc Degeneration to Inform Patient-Specific Therapies

Creator:: Ahrens, Sonia R.
Abstract:: The human intervertebral disc is a deceptively simple structure which plays an essential role in human movement. Even slight changes to the disc microenvironment can have far reaching consequences, particularly when these changes result in disc degeneration and herniation. Degeneration is increasingly tied to lower back pain; better understanding this...

Characterization of Oxide Growth of Aluminum Alloy 6061 for Nuclear Research and Test Reactors

Creator:: Wei, Youran
Abstract:: Oxide growth is a common phenomenon on aluminum alloy cladding surfaces in nuclear research and test reactors. Without better understanding of oxide growth, excessive oxide build up on the cladding surface reduces heat transfer capability from fuel to coolant and causes safety concerns due to the potential cladding rupture or...

A Manufacturing Process Design for Producing a Membrane-based Energy Recovery Ventilator with High Aspect Ratio Support Ribs

Creator:: Kawula, Steven P.
Abstract:: Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems represent nearly half of building energy usage in the United States. Recent building regulations requiring increased air turnover within buildings will result in even greater air conditioning usage. To alleviate these concerns, membrane-based heat-and-moisture exchangers known as energy recovery ventilators have been developed to...

Role of Alloying on the Thermal Stability of Duplex Stainless Steel

Creator:: Garfinkel, David
Abstract:: Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are an attractive potential material in nuclear power generation systems due to an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength, toughness, and affordability. Thermal embrittlement caused by phase instability in the temperature range of ~300-550°C severely limits the service temperature of DSS. The rate of embrittlement varies...

Experimental study of subcooled water spray cooling using flow symmetric micro-structured surfaces

Creator:: Tulchinsky, Alex M.
Abstract:: Spray impingement cooling has been shown to be a leading candidate for future high heat flux cooling applications. In general, spray cooling curves consist of three heat flux regimes; single-phase, two-phase and critical heat flux (CHF). CHF is considered the design limit for almost all two-phase cooling applications, as a...

Microbial Electrolysis Cells for the Production of Hydrogen Gas : Evaluation of Internal Resistance and Design for Scale-Up

Creator:: Miller, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Modification of microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) by altering the sizes of the anode and the cathode, or their interaction with the liquid stream affects the performance of the MEC, but it remains difficult to quantify how much each change will contribute to the overall performance. Through this study, a method...

Geometric Chatter Stability Index for Milling and Modeling of Chip Pulling Effect

Creator:: Maulimov, Mukhtar
Abstract:: Prediction and mitigation of chatter vibrations in machining operations and optimizing overall machining mechanics are crucial for achieving greater productivity and manufacturing efficiency. This thesis first explores effect of directional relationships on chatter stability in milling process. Based on the directional relationships, a geometry-based chatter stability index (CSI) is proposed...

Probing the Biophysical interactions of Anti-Microbial Peptide WLBU2 Using Model Membrane Systems

Creator:: Golbek, Thaddeus W.
Abstract:: WLBU2 is an engineered cationic amphiphilic peptide that targets Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and envelopes endotoxin while avoiding other cell types. The exact mechanism of how WLBU2 targets, binds, and disrupts bacterial cell membranes is still not completely known. Thus, the overall goal of this investigation is to determine the...

Modelling Thin Liquid Film Draining of Bubbles on Porous Media in Confined Geometry

Creator:: Bahm, Jared S.
Abstract:: The behavior of the thin liquid ﬁlm formed between a bubble and hydrophobic membrane is of high interest in applications where separating two-phase mixtures is beneﬁcial. One such application is in-situ vapor extraction heat sinks. In these systems, high heat transfer rates are accomplished by taking advantage of the high...

Biomechanical Modeling of Isometric Muscle-Tendon Force Generation Through Tendons Coupled in Parallel and a Passive Differential Mechanism

Creator:: Le, Anthony H.
Abstract:: There are at least fifteen types of upper extremity tendon transfer procedures for combined peripheral nerve injuries that involve re-routing a single donor muscle to multiple recipient tendons. As a result, force and movement across finger joints become coupled, resulting in limited grasping abilities. Quantification and modeling of the donor...
