Adhesive Properties Subject to Variation in Temperature, Thickness, and Working Time

Creator:: Aerne, Nicholas, S. J.
Abstract:: Adhesive use is becoming increasingly common in manufacturing processes. The advantage of adhesives are light weight components, non-destructive fastening techniques and distribution of loads over the applied bond region. Modeling the behavior of adhesive bond lines in fastening joints can help in the design process to make an optimized joint,...

Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

Creator:: Miska, John
Abstract:: Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...

The experimental characterization of membrane behavior in two-phase gas extraction

Creator:: Cappello, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: Understanding the behavior of hydrophobic membranes is important for applications where separating a gas from a liquid-gas mixture is beneficial. For example, in-situ vapor extraction can be used in microscale heat sinks to improve heat transfer and flow stability. In this study, gas is experimentally evaluated flowing through flexible polytetrafluoroethylene...

Development and Trial of a Usability Testing Protocol for Biomass Cookstoves : An Interdisciplinary Approach

Creator:: Moses, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Improved cookstoves have been designed and disseminated for several decades in an effort to address the human health and environmental issues caused by the inefficient, traditional biomass cooking and heating methods used by 40% of the world’s people. Engineers and designers working on these improved stoves have tended to focus...

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...

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...

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...

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...
