Development Towards a Three-Component Three-Dimensional Micro Velocity Measurement Technique
DownloadFall 2012
An investigation towards determining the sources of uncertainty of a three-component three dimensional (3C3D) velocity measurement technique has been performed. The concept of the technique is velocity vector calculation based on 3D cross correlation of the intensity volume of positions of...

Fall 2011
AC Dielectrophoresis, the motion of dielectric colloidal particles in the presence of an inhomogeneous AC electric field, has been utilized in this work as a mechanism for preventing channel wall fouling due to particle deposition for a multi-component colloidal system. Both attractive and...

Differential Modulation of Trunk Muscle Activation using Thoracic Epidural Spinal Stimulation
DownloadFall 2024
Trunk stability and control in a world of gravitational forces and perturbations requires coordinated trunk muscle activation through involvement of control mechanisms within the neuromuscular system. Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) often suffer under impaired trunk control and posture,...

Dimensional assessment and process optimization of additively manufactured structured 3D porosity via primitive triply periodic minimal surface lattice structure and laser powder bed fusion technique
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis reports the challenges that need to be addressed before any heat transfer analysis of a proposed novel cellular-walled pipe heat sink system manufactured by LPBF technique. The proper cellular structure type selection for enhanced heat transfer performance, as well as providing a...
