Solution Space Exploration in Model-Based Realization of Engineered Systems
(2016-05-13)
With growing interest in the model-based realization of engineered systems there is a need for developing methods to explore the solution space that is defined by models that approximate reality and are typically incomplete, ...
Hot Surface Ignition Properties of Pre-Vaporized Jet-A and Biodiesels
(2017-05)
In the search for more environmentally friendly energy sources, biofuels have emerged as an attractive alternative to traditional petroleum fuels. In addition to being close to carbon-neutral and renewable, biofuels have ...
Improvement and Characterization of Direct-Ink-Write Manufactured Continuous Fiber Reinforced Photopolymer Matrix Composites
(2023-05-12)
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites play a significant and continuously growing role in engineering applications that require high strength, weight optimized structural components. Additive manufacturing (AM) has ...
Investigations of the Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of the Four Heart Valves
(2021-05)
The four heart valves (HVs) regulate the unidirectional flow of blood throughout the four chambers of the heart. The artioventricular heart valves (AHVs) enforce this unidirectional flow between each atrium and the respective ...
Characterization of Gas Permeation in Polymeric Membrane
(2017)
Polymers have been widely used in various industries in recent decades. One of the functions of polymers is to be employed as barriers against gas permeation. In this research, characterization of permeation in polymeric ...
