Characterization of Biomechanical Properties of the Bovine Cornea in Tension
Rahimi, Abdolrasol (2014-07-01)Cornea is a soft tissue with the principal function of transmitting and refracting light rays. It is composed of many different layers; epithelium, Bowman's layer, stroma, Decemet's membrane, and endothelium. It is well ... -
Combined Effect of Shear Stress and Secondhand Smoke on Platelet Activation and Aggregation
Sultana, Mst Sarmin (Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)Platelets play important role in hemostasis (physiological), thrombosis and atherosclerosis (pathological). Changes in functional responses of platelets, due to presence of biochemical and biomechanical agonists, can ... -
Determination of the Temperature Rise and Wrinkling Behavior of Webs Transiting Heated Rollers
Oliver, Ryan Talison (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)Many materials are manufactured and processed as webs. Examples of webs include: paper, plastic films, textiles, and metal foils. Due to the thin nature of webs, geometric instabilities can arise during web handling ... -
Development of Computational Analysis of Web Troughs and Wrinkles Due to Crown Rollers
Jensen, Peter Vestergaard (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)A crown roller has a larger radius at the center than at the sides. A web in transit through a manufacturing process must be subjected to tension by driven rollers that also maintain web velocity. If the rollers supporting ... -
Development of Non-interfering Wound-on-tension Measurement Method
Jiang, Wenxing (Oklahoma State University, 2014-05-01)The key element to understand the structure of a wound roll is the pressure inside it. This pressure cannot be too small or too large. If it is too small it may not withhold its structure. If it is too large it may damage ... -
Effects of Collagen Crosslinking on Mechanical Behavior of Corneal Tissue in Compression
Siegmann, Jennifer (2015/12/1)Eyesight is crucial to many daily tasks. Proper eyesight depends on soft tissues that seem simple at the macroscale, but have complicated microstructures necessary for proper function. The cornea is the first thing that ... -
Investigation of the Mechanical Strength of Nanocrystalline Au-si Thin Films
Ford, Kyle Douglas (Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)A study on the effects of deposition rate and Si content on the mechanical and electrical properties of Au-Si films has been performed. Au-Si films were synthesized by electron beam evaporation on (100) Si substrates at ... -
Mechanical and Rheological Characterization of the Cornea
Etebu, Ebitimitula (Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The cornea is a semi-permeable connective tissue with multiple simultaneous functions that include load bearing, hydration regulation via fluid transport, maintaining eye ball shape, and transmitting incident light without ... -
Role of Residual Stresses on Mechanical Properties of Obsidian: Naturally Occurring Glass
Meesala, Raghu V. (Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)Obsidian is a natural glass that is formed by the rapid cooling of viscous lava. Obsidian's mechanical properties in structure mechanics are visible in aspects such as fracture pattern, elastic modulus, hardness and fracture ... -
Spark Plasma Sintering of Magnesium Matrix Composites
Das, Aniruddha (Oklahoma State University, 2012-12-01)Magnesium (Mg) is widely used as a structural material due to its low density (1.74 g/cm3), high specific strength and good machinability. Due to these intrinsic properties, magnesium is being used in aerospace and automobile ... -
Spark Plasma Sintering of Silicon Carbide, Multi-walled Carbon Nanotube and Graphene Reinforced Zirconium Diboride Ceramic Composite
Balaraman Yadhukulakrishnan, Govindaraajan (Oklahoma State University, 2012-07-01)Space vehicles re-entering the earth's atmosphere experience very high temperatures due to aerodynamic heating. Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) with melting point higher than 3200C are promising materials for thermal ... -
Transversely Isotropic Viscoelastic Biphasic Model of Articular Cartilage in Unconfined Compression
Maulik, Romit (2015/7/1)Articular cartilage is a connective tissue found in diarthrodial joints such as the knee, elbow or wrist. It is composed of collagen fibers, chondrocytes, interstitial fluid, and other non-collagenous proteins. During ...
