3D Freeze Nano Printing for Multiscale, Multifunctional Porous Materials
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
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 ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF EMISSIONS AND NON-HOMOGENEOUS FUEL DECOMPOSITION IN A BATCH RUN TWO-STAGE WOOD-FIRED HYDRONIC HEATER
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
A major challenge often encountered in the domestic wood burning community is the inability to accurately determine real-time/instantaneous emissions and performance characteristics on unsteady batch run systems. These ...
Modeling the Structural Dynamics of Parachutes with Support for Multi-Dimensional Manifold Mesh Refinement
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
We have developed a computational model to study the structural dynamics of parachute deployment using adaptive finite element analysis. The mathematical model uses a large deformation formulation of nonlinear elasticity ...
Consumer Behavior Modeling in System Design for Ease-of-repair and Ease-of-return
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Capturing uncertainties in consumer behavior can lead to better handling of sustainable design, manufacturing, and logistics operations throughout the entire life cycle of products. The sustainability decision-making ...
Characteristics of Turbulent Boundary Layers Along a Hypersonic Vehicle
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The flight conditions of a hypersonic vehicle on an ascent trajectory are computed and Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations of the turbulent boundary layers are performed across a Mach number range of 0.3 up ...
Holographic Deflection Imaging Measurement of Electric Charge on Aerosol Particles
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
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 ...
Geometric Reasoning and Machine Learning: A Set of Design and Manufacturing Problems
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
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 ...
Virtual Coiling for Intracranial Aneurysm Based on Geometric Path Planning using Coil Pre-Shape
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
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. ...
Low-Cost Method of Estimating Vehicle Sideslip and Tire Cornering Stiffness using Global Positioning and Inertial Measurement
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
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 ...
PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL ANALYSIS FOR HOME-BASED ACTIVITY MONITORING
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
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 ...
