Research in engineering design and manufacturing domain has enabled significant advances in the last couple of decades. Now, more than ever before, many individual manual tasks are being automated to assist designers and ...

Due to their volatile behavior, natural disasters are challenging problems that often cannot be accurately predicted. An efficient method to gather updated information of the status of a disaster, such as the location of ...

In this study a low-cost method of estimating the linear tire model for a road vehicle is developed, which can be used to make quantitative decisions for tire selection and vehicle modification. As a traditional tire model ...

Embolic coiling is the mainstay endovascular intervention for intracranial aneurysms. To enable better plan treatment, various computational algorithms are developed to simulate coil deployment in patient-specific aneurysms. ...

Hierarchical porous structures are ubiquitously around us (e.g., bamboo, wood, bone, bird wings). They exhibit many exceptional properties such as light weight, large surface area, and multi-functionality. It would be ...

We propose a simple noninvasive technique called Holographic Deflection Imaging (HDI) to measure electric charge on individual aerosol particles. Many flows including atmospheric turbulence and pneumatic transport involve ...

Porous structures have broad applications in different fields, and the fabrication methods have evolved for decades. With the combination of inkjet printing and ice-template technique, the selective freezing three-dimensional ...

Material plays a key role in the product realization process. The shape of the product, material allocation, and its fabrication processes must be simultaneously considered in a concurrent manner for enabling quality product ...

This work investigates the dynamics of liposome vesicles in a static magnetic field. Based on a scaling analysis, a simple governing equation for the magnetic field is derived from the Maxwell equations. An immersed interface ...

This dissertation develops a human-centric mobile framework to qualitatively monitor his/her physiological information and assess the quality of his activity. Human gait analysis is considered as the main domain of interest ...
