The Development of a Bottom-up Transportation Model for Assessment of Policies on Energy and Emissions
DownloadFall 2023
The increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have led to the implementation of various mitigation policies in order to limit the adverse impacts of climate change. However, it becomes challenging as the growth in energy demand outbalances the GHG mitigation measures. The...

Development of Microstructure-Informed Computational Models for the Design of Cold-Sprayed Additively Manufactured Metal-Ceramic Composite Materials
DownloadFall 2024
This thesis develops microstructure-based finite element (FE) models of cold-sprayed additively manufactured (CSAM) metal-ceramic composites – Al-Al2O3 in this research – to fill a gap in our understanding of the microscale failure progression in the material in correlation with its macroscale...
