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...

The Implications of Coarctation and Indentation of the Aorta on Blood Flow Characteristics in Pediatric Patients
DownloadFall 2020
Aorta coarctation is one of the most common geometrical anomalies observed in children that requires intervention in an early stage. Another equally important, but less common, anomaly of the aorta involves the indentation of the aortic arc. This study examines the blood flow characteristics in...
