Effect of Shape on Nanoparticle Sintering: A Molecular Dynamics Study

Creator:: Mirkoohi, Elham
Abstract:: Sintering of nanoparticles to create films and patterns of functional materials is emerging as a key manufacturing process in applications like flexible electronics, solar cells and thin-film devices. Further, there is the emerging potential to use nanoparticle sintering to perform additive manufacturing as well. While the effect of nanoparticle size...

Integrated Evaluation of Drinking Water Purification: A Mixed-Method Laboratory and Field Assessment of a Biomass-Powered Water Treatment Technology

Creator:: Burleson, Grace Ellen
Abstract:: The global water crisis is defined as one of the major threats facing humankind over the next decade with over 1 in 10 people lacking access to clean drinking water worldwide. An estimated 1.2 million people pasteurize their drinking water by using boiling as an indicator. Pasteurization is the process...

A Field Study on Marching Band Members' Workload Assessment

Creator:: Wells, Robyn R.
Abstract:: Marching band activities consist of both physically and cognitively demanding tasks. The demands that this activity has on players has largely been unstudied. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of players’ experience level, role, and gender on the workload of marching band players via a field...

Multiple cooling tower plumes, a field study and analytical model

Creator:: Macduff, Robert Bruce
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Quantitative comparison of full field strains experimentally measured and analytically predicted for aluminum foams

Creator:: Rutschman, Scott A.
Abstract:: Metallic foams have become widely available and have unique properties that make them attractive for use in a variety of engineering applications. Due to their complex structure, the behavior of foams under complex loading conditions is a subject of continued research. Digital volume correlation is a technique wherein full-field strains...

Characterization of the near-field flow structure of an acoustically self-excited jet in a large enclosure using particle image velocimetry (PIV)

Creator:: Tobias, Jason A.
Abstract:: An experimental study of the near-field flow structure produced by an incompressible turbulent Acoustically Self-Excited Jet (ASEJ) in a large enclosure using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is presented. The salient feature of this jet is that it provides an increase in near-field mixing and turbulence without additional external power input....

Autonomous Decision Making Facing Uncertainty, Risk, and Complexity

Creator:: Short, Ada-Rhodes
Abstract:: The creation of autonomous decision makers to handle potentially hazardous or logistically complicated tasks is desirable for the purpose of reducing human labor and exposure to risk, and for increasing the general performance of autonomous systems in a wide variety of environments. However, traditional autonomous decision makers perform poorly when...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: the field has grown to encompass a wide variety of theories about how to make decisions. While human

Wind tunnel simulation and field measurements of flow over a coastal headland

Creator:: Brownlow, Roger West
Abstract:: An experimental study was made of the average and turbulent wind characteristics of the flow over a model of a coastal headland. The scale of the model was 300:1, corresponding to a prototype size of 500 m. The data for validation of the model study was obtained from instruments mounted...
