On the Mechanical Properties and Failure of Low-Pressure Cold-Sprayed Tungsten Carbide-Nickel Metal Matrix Composite Coatings
DownloadFall 2019
Tungsten carbide-Nickel (WC-Ni) metal matrix coatings (MMC) were fabricated using a low-pressure cold spray unit. The coatings were designed according to 50, 71, and 92 weight percentages of WC in the feedstock powder. These coatings were subsequently prepared for uni-axial quasi-static tensile...

Discrete-event simulation (DES) is a method of mimicking the behavior of a real system and has the ability to model complex systems and phenomena. In this study a DES model of a real production system was developed. The model provides an accurate representation of the real system and insight into...

Optical Diagnostics of the Motion of Spherical, Cylindrical and Irregularly Shaped Particles within variable Flow Media
DownloadSpring 2023
The shape of non-spherical or irregularly shaped particles have been a challenging factor to include in mathematical models that describe particle motion in a fluid. In many studies in the literature, irregularly shaped particles have been modelled essentially as spheres. This thesis is an...

Optical Measurement of Directional, Regional, and Strain Rate Dependent Mechanical Properties of Human Brain Tissue under Uniaxial Compression
DownloadSpring 2024
The brain is the most important central nervous system component, consisting of a complex network of neurons and glial cells essential for information processing, movement, and behavior control. While computational models have helped advance the development of diagnostic tools and the...

Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...

Optimal Motion Planning in GPS-Denied Environments using Nonlinear Model Predictive Horizon
DownloadSpring 2023
Navigating robotic systems autonomously through unknown, dynamic, and GPS-denied environments is a challenging task. One requirement of this is a path planner which provides safe trajectories under real-world conditions such as nonlinear vehicle dynamics, real-time computation requirements,...
