Macro-Scale Lithium-Ion Battery Simulation by Means of the Finite Element Method and Concentrated Solution Theory
DownloadFall 2023
Lithium-ion batteries are the leading contender for high density energy storage for applications such as electric vehicles and personal electronic devices. While they promise well over 4 V of potential per cell, actually realizing such high voltages is quite difficult, given the many modes of...

Magnetically targeted deposition and retention of particles in the airways for drug delivery
Spring 2010
This thesis examines the mechanisms of magnetic particle deposition and retention in human airways for magnetically targeted drug delivery. As this is a novel application, fundamental studies were performed to establish the necessary background knowledge for further development. Magnetic particle...

Mass-Mobility Measurements of Aircraft Particulate Matter Using a Novel Measurement Method: A Centrifugal Particle Mass Analyzer and Differential Mobility Spectrometer System
DownloadFall 2013
Mass-mobility measurements using a centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and differential mobility spectrometer (DMS) are demonstrated. The CPMA, which classifies an aerosol by mass-to-charge ratio, is used upstream of a DMS, which measures the mobility size distribution of the...

Mathematical and Experimental Modelling of the Dynamic Response of the Transfemoral Bone Implant System and Bone Anchored Hearing Aids and its Potential Application to the Non-invasive Evaluation of Implant Stability
DownloadFall 2023
Osseointegrated implants rely on the direct structural and functional attachment of an implant to the surrounding bone tissues. These implants are used in various fields including dentistry, bone conduction hearing and lower-limb amputations. Determining the quality of the bond between the...
