  • Productive Interactions in a Complex Engineering Project: Influence of Team Members, Engineering Practice, and Emergence of Roles

    Creator:
    Chindanon, Kritsa
    Abstract:
    Engineering capstone projects are intended as a bridge from school to professional practice in which students work in teams to use learned knowledge and skills to complete real-world engineering projects. However, while the majority of time in many undergraduate programs is devoted to development of technical knowledge and skills, there...

  • Nucleation Inhibiting Mechanisms in Atomic Layer Deposition of Nanolaminates

    Creator:
    Witsell, Shane Mike’ele Williama
    Abstract:
    Nucleation in atomic layer deposition (ALD) determines how many cycles are required to initiate growth and to form a continuous film. Nucleation has been exploited for the formation of nanoparticles, catalysts, and for area-selective ALD. Although sometimes overlooked or misrepresented in ALD reports, nucleation is also critical for multicomponent ALD...

  • Failure analysis of pre-notched composite laminated plates under four-point bending conditions

    Creator:
    Arias Gonzales, Sergio
    Abstract:
    Ever since composite laminate technology was introduced into the aerospace and automotive industry, there has been a need to fully understand the damage progression experienced by composite laminated plates in the presence of a notch. While numerous research studies have been conducted on this matter when subjected to in-plane loads,...

  • Graphite intercalation with fluoroanions by chemical and electrochemical methods

    Creator:
    Özmen Monkul, Bahar
    Abstract:
    New acceptor-type graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) containing perfluoroalkyl anions have been synthesized by using both chemical and electrochemical methods and characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. Investigation into these graphite intercalation compounds can provide novel materials and a detailed understanding of their properties. GICs of composition Cx[FB(C₂F₅)₃]·δF are prepared for...

  • New Architectures and Circuits for Pushing the Dynamic Range and Multiplexing Boundaries of CMOS-Integrated Sensors

    Creator:
    Ouh, Hyunkyu
    Abstract:
    Over the last decades, CMOS-integrated sensors have made impressive progress in performance, form-factor, and energy-efficiency for various applications such as imaging, physical/chemical sensing, bio/health monitoring. In the era of the artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet-of-things (IoT), such CMOS-integrated sensors are essential for massive and comprehensive data acquisition, where sensing...

  • Ecology of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) during the early life stages in the Eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

    Creator:
    Sohn, Dongwha
    Abstract:
    Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) have decreased in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands since the 1970s. The reasons behind the poor recruitment are unknown, and important knowledge gaps of the ecology of the early life stages have been identified. The objectives of thesis research were (1) to examine geographic...

  • An enhanced swing differential Colpitts CMOS VCO for low-voltage operation

    Creator:
    Farahbakhshian, Farhad
    Abstract:
    An enhanced swing differential Colpitts VCO (ESDC-VCO) dramatically improves the swing of a Colpitts VCO by allowing the signal to swing below ground and above the supply voltage. Fabricated in a 1P8M 0.13 um CMOS process, the ESDC-VCO operates at 4.9GHz with a 0.475-V supply and consumes 2.7mW. The measured...

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of the Density Evolution Inside of the Helium-3 Enhanced Negative Reactivity Insertion (HENRI) System

    Creator:
    Balderrama Prieto, Silvino Alejandro
    Abstract:
    The testing of nuclear fuel under reactivity-initiated accident (RIA) conditions is paramount for the better understanding of the fuel’s behavior during this transient accident events. The Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) facility is a nuclear reactor that will be capable of recreating the thermal-hydraulic and neutronic boundary conditions representative of RIA...

    Creator:
    Tang, Joseph N.
    Abstract:
    Structure-property relationships have always underpinned the field of solid state chemistry; dependable structural descriptions are integral to understanding and controlling the physical properties of inorganic compounds old and new. While a handful of crystal structures are celebrated for their versatility, flexibility, and functionality, the existence of more exotic structures is...

  • Simulations of geckos dry adhesion system

    Creator:
    Hu, Congcong
    Abstract:
    Simulation models were developed to explore the reversible nature of gecko dry adhesion system. The central idea of this model is that even with a small moment imparted on the contact tip, the seta can be easily ad-adhered. It is shown that this contact condition is very sensitive, but can...
