The Evaluation of Using in-Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors Within a Periodontal Ligament Space for Strain Measurement
DownloadSpring 2021
The Periodontal Ligament (PDL) is a soft connective tissue that anchors the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone, forming a tooth-PDL-bone complex (TPBC). The PDL demonstrates nonlinear, viscoelastic, anisotropic, and heterogeneous mechanical material properties that facilitate in protection...

The effect of chamber length and Reynolds number on the stability and behavior of the flow field generated by a precessing jet nozzle was studied using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (StereoPIV). An algorithm was developed to determine the mode of the flow based on the distribution of...

The ability to control large vortices in the wake of an unsteady body is studied experimentally. A single airfoil in a uniform flow is forced to oscillate sinusoidally about its aerodynamic center and the resulting wake is expected to be dominated by large coherent vortices The wakes for several...

The Further Development of Fringe Electric Field Theory for the Design of a Vertical Comb Drive to be used as a Force-Compensation Mechanism in an Interfacial Force Microscope
DownloadSpring 2015
The overall objective of the research presented here is to begin the design of a comb drive that is to be used as a force-compensation mechanism in an interfacial force microscope. More specifically, the objective of this research is to choose the type of comb drive that has the most potential...

The Implications of Coarctation and Indentation of the Aorta on Blood Flow Characteristics in Pediatric Patients
DownloadFall 2020
Aorta coarctation is one of the most common geometrical anomalies observed in children that requires intervention in an early stage. Another equally important, but less common, anomaly of the aorta involves the indentation of the aortic arc. This study examines the blood flow characteristics in...

A laboratory vortex generator was designed and fabricated to reproduce the behavior of this complex swirling flow. The vortex generator design was based on the results of computational fluid dynamics to optimize the performance, to reduce the cost, and to ensure kinematic similarity with...
