Development of a Large-scale Continuous Carbon Fiber Composite Additive Manufacturing System Based on Fused Granular Fabrication
DownloadSpring 2024
The thesis details the design and development of a method to additively manufacture continuous carbon fiber in a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) polymer matrix at a large scale. The majority of the additive manufacturing techniques are limited by size and printing time. Furthermore, the mechanical...

Differential Modulation of Trunk Muscle Activation using Thoracic Epidural Spinal Stimulation
DownloadFall 2024
Trunk stability and control in a world of gravitational forces and perturbations requires coordinated trunk muscle activation through involvement of control mechanisms within the neuromuscular system. Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often suffer under impaired trunk control and posture,...

In-field assessment of athletic performance and fatigue onset detection during ice skating using wearable sensors
DownloadFall 2024
Ice skating requires high aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels, well-coordinated body motion, and efficient neuromuscular systems functioning, requiring continuous performance assessment. Inertial measurement units (IMUs), widely used in tracking human motion for medical diagnostics and clinical...
