Effect of micron architectural modifications on the fracture of implant-cement interfaces.
(2015)The majority of cemented hip replacements fail due to implant loosening. One design feature that may affect loosening rates is the fracture performance of implant-cement interface. The goal of the study is to develop an ... -
Integration of silica-based materials within a dye-sensitized solar cell
(2022)Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a potential model to help aid in potential steps in solar energy efficiency and progress. However, measures taken have resulted in costly methods and a lack of supply in various ... -
Investigation of the Mechanical And Microstructural Properties in Coronary Arteries Following Decellularization
(2023-05-12)The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, and like all other tissues, the heart muscle requires a supply of oxygen-rich blood to function properly. This blood is supplied by the coronary arteries ... -
Investigations of the Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of the Atrioventricular Heart Valve Leaflets and Chordae Tendineae
(2020-05)The unidirectional blood flow through the heart is facilitated by the atrioventricular heart valves – namely the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve. The two atrioventricular heart valves (AHVs) are composed of soft tissue ... -
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HUMAN INCUDOSTAPEDIAL JOINT AND TYMPANIC MEMBRANE IN NORMAL AND BLAST-DAMAGED EARS
(2018-05-11)The human ear consists of outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. The mechanical properties of the incudostapedial joint (ISJ) and tympanic membrane (TM) are critical to the sound transmission function of the ear because the ... -
The relationship between on-ice aerobic capacity and on-ice power output
(2015)There is debate if a high aerobic capacity will improve recovery from repeated bouts of sprinting, which primarily taxes the anaerobic energy systems. The relationship between aerobic capacity and repeat sprint ability in ... -
The tricuspid valve: mechanics, microstructure, modeling, and simulation
(2022-08)The objectives of this research include: (1) experimentally characterizing the multi-scale properties of the tricuspid valve (TV) leaflets, (2) linking the mechanical and microstructural properties of the TV leaflets to ...
