Additive Manufacturing of HDPE Using Selective Laser Sintering
Hoelzel, Benjamin (2019-05-10)Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that bonds solid powder particles into complex 3-Dimensional (3D) shapes. These objects are constructed by repeatedly sintering or fusing layers of ... -
Blowoff characteristics of partially premixed flames of prevaporized blends of biofuels and petroleum fuels
Maleta, Tonci (2017-12-15)The laminar partially premixed flames of prevaporized Jet A, canola methyl ester (CME), palm methyl ester (PME), soy methyl ester (SME), and blend flames of Jet A and CME-PME-SME were studied over a range of equivalence ... -
Characterization of Hydrophobic Nanoporous Particle Liquids for Energy Absorption
Hsu, Yi (2016-12)Recently, the development of hydrophobic nanoporous technologies has drawn increased attention, especially for the applications of energy absorption and impact protection. Although significant amount of research has been ... -
Design and development of a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printer for potential biomedical engineering applications.
Hering, Jacob (2023-05)An additive manufacturing method called Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) involves heating material particles to bond them together. Each two-dimensional layer is selectively sintered in the fabrication piston until the part ... -

Design, Development, and Characterization of a Low Velocity Impact System
Collum, Cameron (2023-05-12)This paper introduces low-velocity impacts (LVI), presents a concept for evaluating them, tests various materials for proof-of-concept, and discusses how the machine could be used in future university projects as well as ... -
Development and characterization of advanced nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties
Taylor, Lane (2023-05-12)The mechanical and thermal properties of composites made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), glass micro-balloons (GmBs), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated in this thesis. The objective of this study was to determine ... -
Effect of Alignment on Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Polyethylene/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composite Materials
Saeidi-Javash, Mortaza (2017-05)Polymers offer several advantages such as low cost, light weight, corrosion resistance and ease of processing, however, they have much lower intrinsic thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) compared to metals (> 20 W/mK) which ... -
EFFECT OF ALIGNMENT ON THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYETHYLENE-GRAPHENE COMPOSITES AND COMPARISON WITH EFFECTIVE MEDIUM THEORY
Tarannum, Fatema (2019-08-01)Polymers show low thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) in comparison to metals (>20 W/mK). Increased thermal conductivity of polymers can lead to useful applications in industry. The main objective of this research is to analyze ... -
Effect of Oxygen Content on Soot Formation in a Co-Flow Diffusion Flame Fueled with Canola Methyl Ester and Diesel
Prado Carbonell, Stephanie (2021-05-14)The release of carbon particles (or soot; nanoscale sized carbon spheres) during a combustion process is the sign of hydrocarbon fuel not burning completely. The physical property (nano scaled) and chemical compounds ... -
Efficient Computational Approaches for Treatment of Transformed Path Integrals
Von Gonten, Matthew (2018-12-14)In this thesis, efficient computational approaches for treatment of transformed path integrals (TPIs) are proposed. The TPI-based method allows us to calculate the time evolution probability density functions (PDFs) using ... -
The Feasibility of Using X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography for Non-Destructive Testing of Aircraft Structural
Tran, Tiffany (2020-06-15)Aviation safety is a very important aspect of the aviation industry. One of the most important methods for increasing aviation safety is the non-destructive testing method. The non-destructive testing method is considered ... -
Flames as a Unique Pyrolyzing Source for the Formation of Hydrophobic Carbon Films on Solid Substrates
Merchan-Breuer, Duncan (2022)In this work the rapid single-step flame synthesis of hydrophobic carbon layers (C-layers) on the surface of stainless-steel (SS) substrates is explored. A co-flow flame is used to generate a hydrophobic monolayer on the ... -
