Design and development of a two dimensional scanning molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV) system
DownloadFall 2011
The design and development of a MTV approach, based on photobleaching, is discussed. The MTV techniques developed so far for microfluidic application provide either only a one dimensional flow measurement or use a grid and a structured mask for macro-scale and micro-scale flows respectively. The...

Fall 2014
Directionality or anisotropy is one of the benchmark properties of gecko adhesion, allowing geckos to adhere strongly to a surface and detach easily with little effort. Geckos achieve anisotropy by means of intricate micro-nano hierarchical structures on its feet, which is very difficult to mimic...

Design and Use of Servo-Driven Actuators for Spanwise-Varying Control of a Backward-Facing Step Flow
DownloadSpring 2012
An experimental study was conducted of a forced backward-facing step water flow, and the design of 16 actuators for creating the perturbations used to force the flow. The 16 actuators allowed for variant forcing in the spanwise direction with a resolution of 0.5 times the step height h. They are...

Design for Polymer Additive Manufacturing Processes with Coupled Process Responses Using Novel Numerical and Empirical Based Modelling and Optimization Tools
DownloadFall 2022
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data by successive layer by layer material addition. AM has triggered a paradigm shift towards parts and assemblies design methodologies, materials development and utilization, and additional part...
