Spring 2023
Bio-based composites made from bio-renewable and biodegradable constituents have been proposed as alternatives to petroleum-based composites for a variety of applications. However, studies have shown that in many cases, these bio-based composites are hydrophilic, and their viscoelasticity can be...

Fall 2022
This thesis discusses the deformation behavior of compliant tubing consisting of one of two silicone elastomeric bases and a reinforcing knitted fabric jacket. The primary application of this tubing is the ex vivo heart perfusion (EVHP) device, a medical implement that keeps a donated heart alive...

Gkouti, Elli, Czekanski, Aleksander, Yenigun, Burak
Abstract—Viscoelastic materials are commonly used for engineering applications due to their unique and useful properties. Namely, when rubbers are subjected to deformation, then the stress response is not linear but increases or decreases similar to a hyperelastic material. Moreover, the...
