Analysis of Displacement in an Elastic Solid with a Mode-III Crack in the Presence of Surface Elasticity
DownloadFall 2011
The focus of this work is the study of anti-plane deformations of an elastic solid containing a crack. A more comprehensive model of the mechanism of fracture was found by incorporating surface mechanics on the crack face. Included are comparisons between the refined model and the classical model...

Charged Entities Interacting with Electronically Responsive Structures with Implications for the Modeling of Interactions between Carbon Nanotubes and DNA
DownloadFall 2011
Understanding interactions between charged entities with electronically responsive structures embedded in an electrolytic environment is important because of the diverse range of practical applications. This study was motivated by the technique where single stranded DNA was used to separate...

Fall 2021
The predictive modeling of the mechanics of materials at small scales has attracted increasing attention in the recent literature mainly due to the scientific and technological demand for models which accommodate the influence of both material internal structure and surface effects from micro- to...
