The time evolution of a two dimensional incompressible, density stratified, Boussinesq flow in a rectangular cavity is numerically simulated for a range of parameters. Boundary control is then implemented along the upper boundary by adjusting the fluid density. More specifically, the top boundary...

Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising method for combustion engines to provide a substantial reduction in fuel consumption and formation of both nitrogen oxides and soot pollutants in automotive and stationary engines. Control of HCCI combustion timing is essential for the...

Modeling and Simulation of the Dynamic Behavior of Multilayered Piezoelectric Fibers in Smart Structures
DownloadFall 2018
The concept of using piezoelectric actuators and sensors to identify damages in advanced structural systems has drawn considerable interest among the research community due to its importance in preventing catastrophic failures. Recent progress in piezoelectric technologies and manufacturing has...

Recently there has been great research interest in small soft particles because of their significance in both biology and industry. The term ‘particle’ here is defined as a deformable object with size in the range of nano- to micrometers. Many experimental efforts have been spent on investigating...

Modeling the Midpalatal Suture during Maxillary Expansion Treatment and its Implication towards Appliance Design
DownloadFall 2014
Widening the maxilla, or upper jaw, is a common treatment in orthodontics used to generate additional room in the correction of tooth misalignments. Expansion is achieved through activation of an appliance inserted in the patients’ upper jaw. Currently, appliances utilizing expansion screws,...
