Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Use of Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors for Evaluating the Adhesion of SU-8 Thin Films
DownloadFall 2015
This research investigates the use of a SU-8/AlN/Si SAW sensor for evaluating the adhesion of SU-8 thin films. A theoretical model is developed to plot the wave dispersion profile for the SU-8/AlN/Si configuration. A spring interface model is utilized to represent the SU-8/AlN interface using a...

Fall 2011
This thesis presents a method to determine the thermal diffusivity of both single-layered and two-layered coated samples. The flame spraying, air plasma spraying, and cold spraying techniques were used to fabricate the two-layered samples. Mathematical models were developed for single-layered and...

Thermally Sprayed Coatings as Resistive Heating Systems for Wind Turbine Blades and Airfoils
DownloadSpring 2023
Accumulation of ice on the surface of wind turbine blades and aircraft wings in cold environments causes serious issues such as decrease in performance and efficiency. Ice accretion alters the geometrical profile and aerodynamic performance of the surface and increases the weight of the original...
