Detecting fluid flows with bioinspired hair sensors

Creator:: Dickinson, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Many animals detect prey or enhance their locomotion with information from hair-like receptors that are activated by local fluid flows. The utility of biological hair receptors has motivated the design of artificial hair sensors (AHS) for flow control applications where aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces play a significant role in the...

A Graphical Method of Computing Offset Curves

Creator:: Weiss, Benjamin M.
Abstract:: Computation of offset curves is an operation critical to many computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) applications. Though simple on the surface, differences between the straightforward mathematical definition and the demands of CAD/CAM environment in the formulation and expression of an offset curve create a problem for which only complicated, approximate...

On the optimization of performance in fractal-like branching microchannel heat transfer devices

Creator:: Heymann, Douglas Benjamin
Abstract:: Fractal-like branching microchannel flow networks have been found to improve wall temperature uniformity and decrease both pressure drop and flow power compared to arrays of straight microchannels. The present study seeks to maximize the benefits of fractal-like branching channels by means of a gradient-based optimization algorithm. The algorithm identifies the...

Wave Energy From Idea, to Concept, to Converter: Structuring Methods for Design and Evaluation of Wave Energy Devices

Creator:: Trueworthy, Ali May
Abstract:: The amount of energy we use and the ways that we get that energy sit on the edge of dramatic change as the carbon budget which can keep the planet under 1.5C of global average temperature increase gets smaller (Allen, 2018). In response, we continue to research and develop renewable...

Nonlinear model reduction using the group proper orthogonal decomposition method

Creator:: Dickinson, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in conjunction with the Galerkin projection has been used as a model reduction technique for the tractable real-time control of high-dimensional systems. While POD based model reduction may improve the tractability of high-dimensional models, the nonlinear POD based model may be impractical for control due to...

Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

Technological Improvements in Ligation and Suturing Techniques: A Comparison in the Material Strength of Ligating Clips and Suturing Devices

Creator:: Robertson, Bria L.
Abstract:: Treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts provides many options, including cellophane banding. These cellophane bands are secured with a ligation clip. Weck® offers two forms of these: the stainless steel Hemoclip, and the polymer Hem-o-lok. This in vitro study compares the mechanical strength of these two of types of clips by...

Advancing forced draft biomass cookstove technology with computational fluid dynamics modeling

Creator:: Cassidy, Liam J
Abstract:: Today, billions of people are limited to using biomass-fueled traditional fires as a primary energy source for cooking and purification of drinking water. Reliance on open burning of biomass leads to exposure to high levels of household air pollution which has been estimated to claim over 1.5 million lives annually,...

Optimization of Pulsed Laser Deposited Piezoelectric Thin Films for Microelectromechanical Systems

Creator:: Kearney, Dylan R.
Abstract:: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is well known to exhibit some of the strongest piezoelectric responses, explaining why it is at the heart of piezoelectric-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) research. The use of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to synthesize PZT offers many advantages over alternative deposition techniques, mainly regarding its ability to...

Operation of a High-Temperature Oxidation Reactor for Thermochemical Energy Storage

Creator:: Ramsey, Owen C.
Abstract:: The cost of long-duration energy storage poses one of the most significant limitations on the penetration of renewables into power grids. Thermochemical energy storage has great potential to reduce this cost through the use of a reversible redox reaction pair that has a high enthalpy of reaction. The chemical nature...
