Fall 2024
Flow through an individual rock fracture is of fundamental importance in both experimental and numerical studies aimed at describing the hydraulic behavior of fracture networks or rock masses. A single fracture can exert dominance over fluid pathways, and the results obtained from individual...

Fall 2024
Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) exhibit responsiveness to stimuli, characterized by the Shape Memory Effect (SME) which enables them to temporarily store a shape and return to their permanent/original form upon the application of a stimulus. However, SMPs face challenges in being applied to...

Cartagena Perez, Daniel Felipe
This thesis looks for modelling physically the cyclic solvent injection as enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technique used in unconsolidated heavy oil reservoirs, particularly those subjected to Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sands (CHOPS) methods. CHOPS reservoirs are characterized by their low...

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...

Manufacturing and evaluation of the tensile properties of 3D printed human hair reinforced composites
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis proposes a novel method to 3D print human hair-based polymer composites. Human hair is a biological fiber whose microstructure is well-defined. It possesses high tensile strength, thermal insulation, a unique chemical composition, and elastic recovery, among other qualities. However,...

Nguyen, N., Sanderson, B., Malazadeh, S., Hosseeini, A., Kishawy, S., Rahnamayan, S.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been adopted world- wide for rapid prototyping and small-scale production of complex parts. Despite its widespread adoption, much is still unknown about AM. Many researchers have devoted significant efforts t o studying the importance of AM characteristics such as...
