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,...

Ground Gen Airborne Wind Energy Conversion Systems: Tools for Conceptual Design and Rapid Prototyping

Creator:: Muschler, Alexander
Abstract:: Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) are quickly coming to fruition, with increased energy production while reducing the cost of implementation and materials. This thesis develops a new computational model for a tethered AWES and characterizes a new rapid prototyping method with the objective of supporting the design and rapid prototyping...

Time-Dependent Crack Growth Mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in Air

Creator:: Addison, Dylan, A.
Abstract:: Time-dependent crack growth mechanisms in Alloy 617 at 800°C in air were studied using compact tension samples machined in the L-T direction, cracked at temperature using an induction furnace and servo-hydraulic load frame. The application of different loading waveforms, including triangular, hold time, and sustained loading, were studied with relation...

Use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance image processing for evaluation of supraspinatus and biceps tendon pathology in dogs

Creator:: Sheikh, Omar
Abstract:: Shoulder injuries, especially those caused by rotator cuff tears, are a pervasive problem in human and canine patients. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose rotator cuff tears is important for early and targeted treatment. Prior clinical work has demonstrated that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging effectively diagnose these tears....

Developing a Methodology to Study the Effects of Adhesive Flow Penetration on Wood Adhesive Bond Performance by using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC)

Creator:: Ching, Daniel Jackson
Abstract:: Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...

Advancing the understanding of bulk metallic glasses as structural materials through exploration of mechanical properties

Creator:: Naleway, Steven E.
Abstract:: Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) offer a great deal of potential through their near-theoretical strength, potentially high toughness and unique forming and molding traits. However, there are still a number of outstanding issues that bar their widespread use. This thesis describes the investigation of three research questions each designed to further...

Development and validation of a fatigue reliability method for bridging materials

Creator:: Gallops, Sarah
Abstract:: Toughened ceramics, or bridging ceramics, are being developed in an attempt to widen the application base of traditional ceramics, which are brittle and have low resistance to crack extension. The crack growth resistance of these extrinsically toughened ceramics has been shown to increase with crack length, and unlike traditional ceramics,...

Effects of the aging-related loss in lower extremity strength on the feasible region for balance recovery

Creator:: Kadono, Norio
Abstract:: A backward fall is a major cause of hip fractures. Hip fractures have the potential to increase the mortality rate of older adults. Thus, the prevention of backward falls by older adults is a critical subject to be studied. Specifically, it remains unknown what effect aging-related losses in muscle strength...

Mechanical linkage design for haptic rehabilitation and development of fine motor skills

Creator:: Streng, B. Taylor
Abstract:: Thousands of children and adults suffer from fine motor skill deficits due to developmental disabilities or brain trauma. In order to acquire or reclaim these precision motor movements, occupational therapists work closely with each patient to develop the muscle memory required for completing tasks such as handwriting or drawing. Although...

Fatigue reliability predictions in silicon nitride ceramics based on fatigue behavior, bridging stresses and fracture data

Creator:: Greene, Rawley Brandon
Abstract:: Because of its attractive material properties like high hardness, high toughness, and excellent high temperature strength, materials like silicon nitride are becoming more common for use in high performance applications. However, there have been limited studies of the fatigue behavior of small cracks in silicon nitride and other materials toughened...
