This research targets to develop condition based maintenance models for better maintenance decisions. We address a condition and age based replacement decision problem using the complete history of measured condition observations to minimize long-run average cost or maximize long-run average...

Lipid membranes represent a critically important interface in biological cells and cellular organelles and mediate all interactions between cells and their surrounding environment. Although quite fragile and negligibly thin, they can be homogeneous down to molecular dimension. Consequently, their...

Development and Integration of Tactors onto a Prosthetic Socket for Tactile Sensory Feedback in Upper Limb Amputees
DownloadSpring 2016
Myoelectric prostheses have recently undergone extensive developments in their complexity and movement patterns, yet controlling these devices can be difficult as they lack the sensory feedback provided by traditional body powered prostheses. With targeted sensory reinnervation surgery, sensory...

In network reliability context, it is often assumed that both the components and the systems can take two possible states, completely working or totally failed. However, in many real-world network systems, the component states and the system state can take more than two values. This multi-state...

Evaluation and Analysis of the Erosion Performance of Flame Spray-Coated Polyurethane Liners
DownloadFall 2016
Polyurethane has excellent wear resistance and is an effective protective liner against erosion caused by the impact of solid particles. However, similar to most polymeric materials, polyurethane has low thermal and electrical conductivity, and this limits its applicability for use in...

Evaluation of the Interface Mechanical Properties of Craniofacial Implants and Natural Teeth Through Development of the Advanced System for Implant Stability Testing (ASIST)
DownloadFall 2016
Clinical evaluation of the integrity of the bone-implant interface of percutaneous implants is important to prescribe loading, to identify the risk of failure, and to monitor the long-term health of the implant. The same concept of interface integrity can be applied in dentistry where the...

The success of commercial applicability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) depends on the cost competitiveness with respect to current energy sources. A major fraction of the system cost can be mitigated by reducing the amount of platinum (Pt) catalyst in the electrodes and by improving...
