Pankratz, Stan, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Zhang, Xiaolei, Kumar, Amit
Large resources are being invested globally in algae research in the anticipation that these microorganisms will become the “silver bullets” that lead to economic bio-renewable fuels, new food sources, and a host of high value products and simultaneously mitigate rising atmospheric CO2 levels. A...

Amirian, B., Li, H.Y., Hogan, James D.
In this paper, a microstructure-based finite element model for nano-grained (!+↵2)-TiAl/Al2O3 cermets is proposed based on a modified variational formulation of the Gurson model for an elastic-plastic porous material. In the modeling approach, the high volume fraction of alumina, variability in...

Major, Paul, Carey, Jason, Russett, Shawn, Toogood, Roger, Boulanger, Pierre
Reproduction of anatomical structures by rapid prototyping has proven to be a valid adjunct for craniofacial surgery, providing alternative methods to produce prostheses and development of surgical guides. The aim of this study was to introduce a methodology to fabricate asymmetric human...

Jarauta, A., Ryzhakov, P., Pons-Prats, J., Secanell, M.
A Lagrangian incompressible fluid flow model is extended by including an implicit surface tension term in order to analyze droplet dynamics. The Lagrangian framework is adopted to model the fluid and track its boundary, and the implicit surface tension term is used to introduce the appropriate...

An investigation into the mechanical characteristics of select self-ligated brackets at a series of clinically relevant maximum torquing angles: Loading and unloading curves and bracket deformation
Download2011
Nobes, David S., Major, Paul W., Melenka, Garrett W., Major, Thomas, Carey, Jason P.
Edgewise orthodontic treatment utilizes a force couple in order to achieve labial–lingual tooth angulation. Two self-ligating brackets (Damon Q and Speed) were examined across a range of clinically relevant torques in order to assess the loading and unloading curves and bracket deformation. A...

Petel, Oren E., Hogan, James D.
In the present study, ejecta dynamics techniques are used to investigate the ballistic response of shear thickening particle suspensions as a means of assessing the particle hardness and the role of interparticle friction during penetration. Through particle material variations, the role of...

An optimized process design for oxymethylene ethers production from woody-biomass-derived syngas
Download2016-01-01
Zhang, Xiaolei, Oyedun, Adetoyese Olajire, Kumar, Amit, Oestreich, Dorian, Arnold, Ulrich, Sauer, Jorg
The conversion of biomass for the production of liquid fuels can help reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are predominantly generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. Oxymethylene ethers (OMEs) are a series of liquid fuel additives that can be obtained from syngas, which is produced...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Hogan, James D., McCauley, James W., Ramesh, Kaliat T.
Effects of microstructure and material properties on the mechanical behavior of hot-pressed boron carbide are presented. The microstructure and intrinsic microstructural inhomogeneities have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy characterization techniques (SEM/EDS/EBSD). In-situ...

Verma, Aman, Raj, Ratan, Kumar, Mayank, Ghandehariun, Samane, Kumar, Amit
Electric vehicle charging by renewable energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a data-intensive techno-economic model to estimate the cost of charging an electric vehicle with a battery capacity of 16 kWh for an average travel distance of 65 km from small-scale...

Alberta’s food processing industry is the second largest food waste producer after the household sector. Most of the waste currently produced from the food processing industry is landfilled. Decomposing landfill waste, moreover, emits greenhouse gases (GHG), which contribute to global warming. In...
