A Spiritual Director’s Embodiment of Dynamic Trinitarian Flow in the Art of Spiritual Accompaniment
Download2023
This autoethnographic study explores my embodied experience of Trinity which occurred during a day of spiritual accompaniment (direction) sessions. It addresses the lack of detailed accounts in the literature of personal encounters with Trinity during spiritual accompaniment (direction). ...

Characterization of the Microstructure and Mechanical Behavior of Intact and Damaged Alumina
DownloadFall 2020
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...

An analytical model is presented to study dynamic behaviors of rigid sphere-reinforced random metacomposites. The model is based on the concept that the deviation of the displacement field of embedded rigid spheres from the displacement field of the composite is responsible for novel dynamic...

This thesis is concerned with the experimental mechanics of brittle failure in advanced ceramics. It seeks to bridge global damage accumulation to local failure phenomena. Alumina serves as the primary model material. Other advanced ceramics (silicon carbide and boron carbide) and cermets are...
