Changing Landscape Coatings for Bioactive Bone Fixation Implants via Flame Spray Deposition
DownloadFall 2013
Owing to the bio-inert nature of load-bearing alloys and the brittle nature of bioactive materials there is a need to develop a composite bioactive material suitable for load-bearing applications. To fulfill this need, a new composite coating of a load-bearing alloy and a resorbable bioactive...

Severe localized corrosion was found throughout an aeration tank of a modular wastewater treatment plant. Specifically, pitting, crevice corrosion, galvanic corrosion, and intergranular corrosion (IGC) were observed on the 5000 and 6000 series aluminum alloys used in the tank’s construction. One...

Bone defects are treated with bone grafts, replacing damaged or diseased bone tissue with either natural bone or bone substitutes. Synthetic graft materials, particularly bioactive glasses, have been developed to overcome the immunological and structural limitations of natural bone grafts....

Hand injuries, due to impact, are common workplace injuries. Many work gloves afford impact protection through design of add-on components known as bumpers. Glove design criteria are complex (e.g., limitations from human factors, dexterity, use case, hand size variability) and commercial bumpers...

Due to the natural heterogeneity of rock there exists a large variance between samples in geomechanical engineering testing. Additionally, the number of samples available for testing that meet the screening requirements for grain size, mineralogy, bedding orientation and moisture content can...

Mathematical models of cryopreservation processes are an important tool in the development of cryopreservation protocols that successfully avoid cryoinjury. Theoretical models of solution thermodynamic behaviour, known as solution theories, lie at the core of many cryopreservation models,...

Wetness perceptions in socks are an aspect of comfort. A bench scale measurement technique -- Algorithmic Image Analysis (AIA) -- to assess the liquid moisture distribution in sock fabrics, and relate them to wetness perceptions, is developed in this thesis. In AIA, the measurement of spread...

This thesis explores the development and preliminary operation of a new test method for roller and roller path arrangements on ultra-class mining shovels. The lack of existing lab-scale test methods discourage significant change, and restrict the development of the roller and roller path to minor...
