Mechanical analysis of a growing carbon nanotube forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Carbon nanotube forests are vertically oriented and entangled tubes that grow normal to a given substrate. The excellent thermal, mechanical, and electronic properties of individual carbon nanotubes motivates their study. ... -
A parametric evaluation of carbon nanotube synthesis from alumina particles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a new material which was first discovered in 1991, and they have generate huge activities in most science and engineering areas due to their unprecedented electrical, thermal, and mechanical ... -
Selective area synthesis of 3-D carbon nanotube forest microsctructures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are solid carbon allotropes that feature high strength and high transport capabilities. When large populations of CNTs are ... -
Thermal transport of nanoenergetics in composite materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Nanoenergetic materials such as nanothermites are made up of a mixture of nanoscale fuel and oxidizer particles separated by small distances to promote rapid reaction. When reacted, they can reach an adiabatic flame ... -
Validating the use of machine learning techniques in evaluating additive manufactured elastic materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As additive manufacturing continues to find widespread use in research and industry and the number of materials suitable for use in additive manufacturing, ...
