Molecular Dynamics Study of Clay-Polymer Interactions in the Treatment of Mature Fine Tailings
DownloadFall 2021
In this dissertation, all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to study the mechanisms of clay-polymer interactions and the effects of solution chemistry in the treatment of mature fine tailings (MFT). The fine solids in MFT were mainly clay particles such as montmorillonite...

Interaction of a Screw Dislocation with Interfaces and Surfaces in Couple Stress Elasticity Theory
DownloadFall 2017
The fundamental problem of interaction of a screw dislocation with planar surfaces and interfaces is of great theoretical and practical interest from micro/nano mechanical point of view. In the present study, we aim to capture the micro/nano mechanical effects through the continuum based model of...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Use of Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors for Evaluating the Adhesion of SU-8 Thin Films
DownloadFall 2015
This research investigates the use of a SU-8/AlN/Si SAW sensor for evaluating the adhesion of SU-8 thin films. A theoretical model is developed to plot the wave dispersion profile for the SU-8/AlN/Si configuration. A spring interface model is utilized to represent the SU-8/AlN interface using a...
