Real-time simulation of biomechanical models has provided exciting potential for improving the outcomes of some medical interventions by allowing clinicians to visualize the displacements and strains of biomechanical tissues in real-time during the intervention. Through real-time visualization,...

Intra-logistics plays an important role in industry and service activities. However, current intra-logistics systems have several shortcomings for which mobile robots are the most suitable candidate to solve them. Nevertheless, the use of mobile robots should rstly overcome several challenges...

Construction projects have temporary fragmented supply chains that face many challenges, such as lack of trust, inadequate knowledge management, and poor communication. These challenges led to poor performance in terms of low productivity, high cost, schedule delay, and poor quality. Construction...

Surgical sutures are used for wound closure in surgeries and injuries by bringing the edges of an open wound together. Conventional way of applying surgical sutures is to secure the wound with surgical knots and tight stitches. Compared to conventional ones, braided sutures have advantages in...

In this thesis, the challenges involved with large-scale Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3-dimensional (3D) printing is explored through an industrial application in which a cantilever chair is produced as a case study. The chair is designed in SOLIDWORKS® in which easy variability and complex...

Steel has traditionally been used as the material of choice for concrete reinforcement, due in part to its combination of high strength, stiffness, and ductility. However, steel rebar is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to moisture and salts, which can lead to delamination between the steel...

There are numerous examples of dispersed turbulent two-phase flows in engineering and environmental processes. In particular, dispersed solid-liquid flows, also known as slurry flows, have many industrial applications such as transportation of coal, ore, and oil sands. Slurry transportation...

Design and engineering design process are necessary components of engineering education. They teach early stage engineering undergraduates about the temporal and organizational nature of the design process and give them the first exposure to the nature of engineering design and its different...

We examine the transient evolution of a negatively buoyant, laminar plume in an emptying filling box containing a uniform porous medium. In the long time limit, τ→∞, the box is partitioned into two uniform layers of different densities. However, the approach towards steady state is characterized...

Most current models for the deposition of aerosol particles in the human lung are based on a Lagrangian reference frame, which is ill-suited for modeling transient eects. Deposition models based on an Eulerian reference frame are much better at capturing instantaneous time-dependent eects, though...
