Dynamical Modelling of an Idealized Hemispherical Skull Model with Fluid Pressure Interactions Using Modal Analysis
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
In this dissertation, a non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring technique is introduced by developing a head dynamic model. The technique is based on modal frequency testing and vibration responses analysis of ...
Application of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Zinc Oxide as a Green Fire-Retardant System in High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Polymeric materials are widely used in diverse applications. However, a major weakness in the majority of the thermoplastic polymers is their lack of ability to resist fire. Most of the chemicals and additives currently ...
Utilization of Cold Spraying Technique to Develop Ni Based Composites Reinforced with Ni3Al Particulates
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was intended to investigate the capability of cold spraying deposition process as a near net shape forming technique to produce MMCs. P/M technique was used to fabricate MMCs in this study for the reason of ...
Survey of Methods for Achieving Low Gasoline Fuel-Permeation in Rotationally-Molded Articles
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The establishment of governmental regulations on the evaporative emission performance of fuel system components has caused molders and their material suppliers to develop innovative materials and processes by which to meet ...
Dynamics of Compound Droplets via 3D Spectral Boundary Elements
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Compound droplets raise great interests due to their applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industry. In spite of the growing demand of theoretical investigation of dynamics of compound droplets from those ...
Breast Cancer Screening in Native American Women at an Urban Minnesota Community Clinic
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The Native American Community Clinic (NACC) in Minneapolis, MN, expressed a need for a breast cancer screening patient education brochure and a policy regarding breast cancer screening, due to the absence of these in their ...
Fluid Mechanics of Micro Cold Spray Direct Write Process
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Cold spray, also known as the gas dynamic spray process, was first discovered in the 1980s while doing high speed two phase wind tunnel experiments. The principle underlying this process is that if a metal particle is ...
Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Polyamide Biocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Biobased fillers in thermoplastics have seen increased usage over the last several years. The increased usage of biobased fillers follows the ever-increasing thrust to reduce petroleum and synthetic petrochemical product ...
Micromechanical Characterization of Brain White Matter with Bi-Directional Orientation of Axonal Fibers
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Axonal injury within the white matter of human brain and spinal cord has led to several diseases in the Central Nervous System (Karami and Shankar, [1]). Diffuse axonal injury, one of the forms of Traumatic Brain Injury ...
Improving Performance Characteristics of Poly (Lactic Acid) (PLA) Based Nanocomposites by Enhanced Dispersion of Modified Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs)
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Poly(lactic acid), (PLA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer which has attracted significant attention as a promising substitute for petroleum-based polymers. To optimize the usage of PLA in a wide range of ...
