An In Vivo Functional Evaluation, in an Avian Model, of Passive Implantable Designs to Restore Hand Function after Spinal Cord Injury

Creator:

Casebier, Justin C.

Abstract:

The surgical standard of care to partially restore grasping function after a traumatic spinal cord injury is a reconstructive tendon transfer-surgery that connects all four finger flexors to an expendable wrist extensor. While restorative, this surgery has a fundamental problem; the movement of all four fingers flexors is directly coupled,...

Elucidating the Mechanism of CNF Reinforcement in Wood Adhesives and Composites

Creator:

Munoz Torres, Maria A.

Abstract:

In the search to improve and incorporate nano and renewable materials into urea-formaldehyde (UF), several researchers have incorporated cellulose nano fibrillated (CNF) into the adhesive. This study aimed to find an optimal way of incorporating CNF into UF and understand how CNF interacts with and changes the properties of the...

Numerical and Analytical Evaluation of Residual Stresses in Deep Rolling

Creator:

Nelson, Dallas

Abstract:

Deep rolling is a surface finishing technique that is widely used in several industries, specifically aerospace and automotive. Extending fatigue life by inducing compressive residual stresses at and below the deep rolled surface has been the primary driving force behind this newfound popularity. Understanding the development of the residual stresses...
