Currently, the building information modeling (BIM) has been widely applied as a powerful tool to model and manage buildings and infrastructure. However, the BIM system only provides engineers with an overall architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) view of the building and the information...

Advanced ceramics such as alumina serve a critical role as a structural material in many applications (e.g., light-weight turbine blades, ultrasonic cutting, and body armor). To improve their performance in these applications, it is important to understand how microstructural features affect the...

Heterogeneous materials have been used extensively due to their desirable properties achieved by combining various constituents and tailored local structures. More recently, the metamaterials have attracted extensive attention because of their exotic dynamic properties, which are caused by either...

A thorough understanding and precise characterization of powdered excipients and drugs are of great importance to enhance the quality of the final product. Powder compression is a common method to evaluate their properties and behavior. It is essential to understand the elastic, viscoelastic and...

This work aims to enhance the performance of a MEMS-based 3D piezoresistive sensor, which has the capability of extracting the six temperature-compensated stress components. That sensor is made of an n-type piezoresistive element that has low pressure/out-of-plane piezoresistive (PR) coefficient,...
