A Fully 3D Printed Waveguide and its Application as Microfluidically Controlled Waveguide Switch
DownloadFall 2016
Hollow rectangular waveguides are employed extensively in microwave and millimeter wave devices owing to their relatively high power handling capabilities and low losses, particularly at higher frequencies, compared to transmission lines. However, the fabrication of such metal waveguides suffer...

A study on the effect of print parameters on mechanical properties of parts manufactured using additive manufacturing
DownloadFall 2017
This thesis presents an investigation on material-process interaction of vat-photopolymerization processes. The effect of different printing factors on tensile properties is studied. Two vat-photopolymerization processes are considered: Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Stereolithography (SLA)....

Application of Thermally-Sprayed Coatings as Heat Tracers for Carbon Steel Pipes to Mitigate the Effect of Ice Accumulation and Freezing Damage
DownloadSpring 2020
The bursting of pipes due to freezing of contained liquid is considerably costly in industrial applications, resulting in over $4 billion in damage over the last decade alone in the United States. This doctoral research program attempted to study the root cause of the failure of pipes due to...
