Modeling the Viscoelastic Material Behavior of the Midpalatal Suture in Finite Element Simulations for the Purpose of Better Understanding the Role of Soft Tissue Sutures in Orthodontic Maxillary Expansion Procedures
DownloadFall 2016
Finite element analysis can help increase understanding of how the material behavior of the midpalatal suture affects maxillary expansion in adolescents with unfused sutures. Mathematical material models describing the non linear viscoelastic behavior of the midpalatal suture were previously...

Modelling and Analysis of Lipid membranes subject to intra-membrane viscous flows and membrane-substrate interactions
DownloadFall 2020
The mechanical responses of the lipid membranes and their mechanisms are of importance in the understanding of essential cellular functions such as budding, fission and vesicle formations. Inside the lipid bilayers, viscous flows play vital roles since they can influence the transportations of...

Modelling of PEMFC Catalyst Layer Mass Transport and Electro-Chemical Reactions Using Multi-scale Simulations
DownloadFall 2014
The focus of this work is on improving understanding of mass transport limiting phenomena occurring within the micro-structure of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) Catalyst Layers (CL). Micro-scale models, namely agglomerates, are employed within multi-scale CL framework, to examine many...

Modelling the Integration of Standardized Systems for Healthcare Worker Satisfaction and Privacy in an IoT-based Service
DownloadFall 2022
Hand hygiene (HH) is critical to decreasing hospital-acquired infections. For this reason, healthcare organizations monitor their staff’s HH compliance. IoT-based hand hygiene monitoring technologies (HHMTs) are a tool for tracking such compliance. This research investigates the integration of...

Modifications to Reduce the Minimum Thermal Source Temperature of the ST05G-CNC Stirling Engine
DownloadSpring 2018
An experimental study has been executed with two main objectives. The applicability of the second order modeling approach for low thermal source temperature Stirling engines was assessed, and modifications to improve the low thermal source temperature performance of an ST05G-CNC Stirling engine...

Molecular dynamics insights into nanovoid behavior in metals: from sparsely-arranged nanovoids to densely-arranged nanopores
DownloadFall 2017
Atomistic-level study of void behavior in metallic materials is a difficult task for continuum-based methods. In contrast, MD method serves as an ideal tool for real-time computer simulation of all kinds of atomistic phenomena. More and more researchers become aware of this and a few have...
