Optimal Spatiotemporal Reduced Order Modeling for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
(2012)
Proposed in this dissertation is a novel reduced order modeling (ROM) framework called optimal spatiotemporal reduced order modeling (OPSTROM) for nonlinear dynamical systems. The OPSTROM approach is a data-driven methodology ...
MULTIPHYSICS ANALYSIS OF HIGH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ELECTROZIPPER PERISTALTIC MICROPUMP
(2012)
The problem investigated in this dissertation is that of designing and developing a micropump for on-chip applications that have requirements for simultaneous high differential pressures and high flow rates, particularly ...
Non-Fickian Three-Dimensional Moisture Absorption in Polymeric Composites: Development and Validation of Hindered Diffusion Model
(2012)
The importance of environmental damage consideration in the design of polymeric composite structures is discussed, with emphasis on the relationship between absorbed moisture content and material property degradation. A ...
A GRAMMATICAL APPROACH TO CUSTOMIZATION OF SHAPE AND COMPOSITE MATERIALS
(2012)
With the increasing use of composite materials in Mechanical and Aerospace industries, an approach is required to facilitate designing of components using composite materials, while ensuring customization of the shape such ...
MULTIPHYSICS ANALYSIS OF HIGH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ELECTROZIPPER PERISTALTIC MICROPUMP
(2012)
The problem investigated in this dissertation is that of designing and developing a micropump for on-chip applications that have requirements for simultaneous high differential pressures and high flow rates, particularly ...
Development and Characterization of a Layer By Layer Ultrasound Assisted Spray Deposition Process for Thin Polymer Films
(2012)
An Ultrasound assisted Atomization (UA) system has been developed and investigated to synthesize ~20µm polyurethane thin films with uniform, repeatable thickness and microstructure. The UA system comprised a 20 kHz atomizer ...
EHD-INDUCED FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER ENHANCEMENT IN A SQUARE CHANNEL WITH TWO-STAGE ELECTRODES
(2012)
The generation of a fluid flow and consequent effects on heat transfer enhancement within a square channel by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) gas pump are examined using both experimental and numerical methods. Experiments are ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MICROSCALE CARBON FIBER AND CARBON-NANOTUBES GRAFTED FIBER WITH THE AID OF DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYZER
(2012)
Effects of surface modification on tensile and interfacial properties of PAN-based carbon fibers have been investigated. Four different types of commercially available PAN-based carbon fibers namely AS4, AS7, IM10 and T650 ...
