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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Best Practices in Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling of Cerebral Aneurysms using ANSYS CFX
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Today many researchers are looking toward computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a tool that
can help doctors understand and predict the severity of aneurysms, but there has yet to be any
conclusive proof of the accuracy ...
The Use of Electrospun Soy Protein Isolate/Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofibers for Controlled Drug Delivery As Well As Investigation Into Mass Production
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
As the global movement progresses towards environmental awareness, industries are attempting to become less dependent on petroleum based materials. This study investigates the incorporation of Soy Protein Isolate (SPI) ...
Computational Biomechanics of Blast-Induced Traumatic Brain Injury: Role of Loading Directionality, Head Protection, and Blast Flow Mechanics
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
In this dissertation, blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) is studied with respect to
the blast wave directionality, mitigation capability of helmet/faceshield, and blast flow
mechanics using finite element (FE) ...
Brain Tissue Mechanical Characterization and Determination of Brain Response under Confined Blasts Explosions
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Mechanical experimental tests including stress relaxation, simple monotonic ramps, and impact loads were performed on porcine brain tissues to investigate the response of the brain under different loading scenarios. Linear ...
Computational Investigation of Low-Pressure Turbine Aerodynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The design of today’s gas turbine engines is heavily reliant on accurate computational fluid flow models. Creating prototype designs is far more expensive than modeling the design on a computer; however, current turbulence ...
Stress-Function Variational Methods for Stress Analysis of Composite Laminates and Adhesively Bonded Composite Joints
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Adhesively bonded composite joints (ABCJs) have been broadly used to connect multimaterials
and show their structural and economic advantages compared to traditional bonding
methods. However, robust methods are still ...
Development of Biobased Composites of Structural Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Highly biobased composites with properties and costs rivaling those consisting of
synthetic constituents are a goal of much current research. The obvious material choices,
vegetable oil based resins and natural fibers, ...
