Microstructure-based, multiscale modeling for the mechanical behavior of hydrated fiber networks
(2008)
A multiscale formulation is derived for the mechanics of a dilute fiber network microstructure, as occurs in in vitro reconstituted collagen gels, to accommodate the deterministic solution of a uniform-stress condition in ...

Characterisation and tribological evaluation of nitrogen-containing molybdenum-copper PVD metallic nanocomposite films
(2005)
This paper reports on the structural, mechanical and tribological properties of molybdenum-copper nanocomposite films 'doped' with small amounts of nitrogen, which contain either no nitride phase (i.e. the nitrogen is held ...
Fabrication and characterization of nanoscale heating sources ("nanoheaters") for nanomanufacturing
(Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, United StatesAffiliation: Dept. of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Northeastern University, Boston, MA, United StatesAffiliation: Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell, One University Ave., Lowell, MA 0185, United StatesAffiliation: Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Tufts University, Medford, MA, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Jogdand, H.Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, United States, 2008)
Nanoheater systems based on the exothermic reaction between aluminum and nickel were developed. Multilayered and powder-based heterostructures were fabricated and characterized, before and after ignition experiments, for ...
Initial assessment of the thermoelectric properties for the mixed system K2-xRbxBi8Se13
(Affiliation: Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-3118, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Ireland, J.R.Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208-3118, United States, 2002)
In previous studies we have investigated the thermoelectric properties of undoped and doped compositions of β-K2Bi8Se13. The attempt to substitute Rb for K resulted in a different structure type, but with potentially useful ...
Doping and alloying trends in new thermoelectric materials
(Affiliation: Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Loo, S.Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, United States, 2002)
New thermoelectric bulk materials such as CsBi4Te6 have shown superior properties to traditional materials, however, optimal performance requires continuing investigations of doping and alloying trends. A recently modified ...
Ideal physical element representation from reduced bond graphs
(2002)
Previous research has demonstrated that bond graphs are a natural and convenient representation to implement energy-based metrics that evaluate the relative 'value' of energy elements in a dynamic system model. Bond graphs ...
Model reduction of modal representations
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
Dynamic analysis is extensively used to study the behavior of continuous and lumped parameter linear systems. In addition to the physical space, analyses can also be performed in the modal space where useful frequency ...
Upper limb assessment of people with multiple sclerosis with the use of a haptic nine hole peg-board test
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of CyprusCyprus, 2009)
In this work, a nine-hole peg-board test (NHPT) arrangement is implemented in a Virtual Environment with the use of a Haptic Interface that has the form of a small robotic arm. The Haptic NHPT is used as a mean for ...
Transient flow characteristics and properties of semi-solid aluminum alloy A356
(Affiliation: Advance Casting Research Center, Metal Processing Institute, WPI, Worcester, MA 01609, United StatesAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box 20537, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Tonmukayakul, N.Advance Casting Research Center, Metal Processing Institute, WPI, Worcester, MA 01609, United States, 2004)
Development of numerical models to simulate flow characteristics of semi-solid metals in the die cavity requires a good understanding of the transient and equilibrium flow properties of semi-solids and knowledge of the ...
