Design of micro- and macro-scale polymeric metamaterial solutions for passive and active thermal camouflaging applications
Download2023-04-01
Pisavadia, Harshil, Asad, Asad, Sameoto, Dan, Dolez, Patricia, Hogan, James D.
This work utilizes predictive modeling techniques to guide and inform metamaterial design for heat management solutions and thermal radiation control. Specifically, micro- and macro-scale polyethylene-based solutions are proposed for passive and active thermal camouflage. A micro-scale post...

Development of Multi-Functional Add-On Hybrid Armor Models and Designs used for Vehicle Protection
DownloadFall 2022
In the first part of this thesis, a validated polyurethane adhesive model is implemented into a system-scale ceramic/armor model for ballistic impact simulations. Here, the trilinear cohesive zone (TCZM) technique is used to simulate the dynamic failure of SikaForceTM6 7752-L60 polyurethane...
