3D polymeric scaffolds towards biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, the assembly operation requires complicated actuation equipment and the assembled scaffolds are usually tethered on cumbersome elastomeric substrates. (3) For printing, few of scaffolds fabricated by emerging 4D printing technologies are responsive...
Analytical earth-aerocapture guidance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Aerocapture is a technique of employing a single atmospheric pass to inserts a spacecraft from a hyperbolic orbit, approaching from deep space, into an elliptical (captured) orbit around its destination planet. After ...
Design and analysis of origami-inspired structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This work focuses on creating novel structures by combining elements of common origami patterns. Multiple different types of physical and computer models are implemented to represent and analyze the structures. These ...
Numerical and experimental investigations on capillary-driven thin-film evaporation with applications in pumped two-phase loop and loop thermosyphon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
and tubular wick posts. The evaporation mode transition from flooded to thin-film evaporation was detected by the evaporator thermal resistance which is directly related with the liquid level in the monolayer wick base. In Chapter 4, an active flow control...
Using feedback linearization to alter the performance of multiple linear hydraulic-actuators powered by the same pump
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
-actuators with both actuators being powered by the same pump. This research uses two open-centered 4-way valves to control the displacement of the two hydraulic actuators for a wheel loader implement system, based upon an input command from the operator who is modeled...
Programmable elastic metamaterials for wave and vibration control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Emerging from electromagnetic waves and fast extending to acoustics and elastics, metamaterials as artificial structures exhibit extraordinary wave ...
Numerical study of self-assembly of granular and colloidal particles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Self-assembly of granular materials and colloids are studied using several different computational methods such as Discrete Element Method (DEM), Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, finite volume Volume of Fluid ...
Development of acoustic metamaterials for efficient sound control noise mitigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Acoustic metamaterials have been studied intensively recently since they can expose unnatural-born properties, potentially breaking the capacity limits of conventional acoustic materials. Since these interesting properties ...
Topological mechanics and acoustics : theoretical and experimental demonstration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Topological insulators are new phases of matter whose properties are derived from a number of qualitative yet robust topological invariants rather ...
Assessing mechanical properties of the cardiovascular system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
from PWV, and mechanical capacitance in flexible tubes and animal calf aortae. 3) investigated using sensitivity analysis as the analytical technique to determine parameters which. 4) develop a new technique which based on blood pressure diagram...
Evaluation of process-structure-property relationships of carbon nanotube forests using simulation and deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This work is aimed to explore process-structure-property relationships of carbon nanotube (CNT) forests. CNTs have superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties that make them suitable for many applications. Yet, ...
