The Essential Work of Fracture Method Applied to Mode II Interlaminar Fracture in Fiber Reinforced Polymers
DownloadSpring 2013
This thesis presents a new method for determining mode II interlaminar fracture toughness in fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) using the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. Fracture tests were performed on a tabbed double edge notched shear (DENS) specimen, made from a unidirectional...

The Evaluation of Using in-Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors Within a Periodontal Ligament Space for Strain Measurement
DownloadSpring 2021
The Periodontal Ligament (PDL) is a soft connective tissue that anchors the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone, forming a tooth-PDL-bone complex (TPBC). The PDL demonstrates nonlinear, viscoelastic, anisotropic, and heterogeneous mechanical material properties that facilitate in protection...

Fall 2010
The effect of chamber length and Reynolds number on the stability and behavior of the flow field generated by a precessing jet nozzle was studied using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (StereoPIV). An algorithm was developed to determine the mode of the flow based on the distribution of...

Fall 2012
The ability to control large vortices in the wake of an unsteady body is studied experimentally. A single airfoil in a uniform flow is forced to oscillate sinusoidally about its aerodynamic center and the resulting wake is expected to be dominated by large coherent vortices The wakes for several...

The Further Development of Fringe Electric Field Theory for the Design of a Vertical Comb Drive to be used as a Force-Compensation Mechanism in an Interfacial Force Microscope
DownloadSpring 2015
The overall objective of the research presented here is to begin the design of a comb drive that is to be used as a force-compensation mechanism in an interfacial force microscope. More specifically, the objective of this research is to choose the type of comb drive that has the most potential...

Fall 2020
Ex Vivo Heart Perfusion (EVHP) preserves a donor heart’s natural beating function outside of the body. The purpose of this work was to study the influence of mock aorta properties on pump performance in a mechanical EVHP system. Previous work has shown potential benefits on pump workload by...
