A Review of Biomechanics of Arterial Stent Implants
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This work looks to provide a review of modern stents by evaluating the need for them as well as providing a detailed engineering analysis of the conditions they are subjected to. It is estimated that over two million of ...
Process Optimization of 3D Printing with Continuous Fiber Reinforced UV Curable Thermoset Resin
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
3D printed polymer components cannot be used as structural components due to the 3D printable material property limitations. To improve mechanical properties, a composite 3D printer is developed and studied. Technical ...
Characterization of a Lab-Scale Polymethylmethacrylate and Gaseous Oxygen Hybrid Rocket
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Hybrid rockets are a type of chemical rocket propulsion where the reactants are in different phases. Historically, hybrid rockets have been underutilized in the aerospace industry. However, due to their simple nature, they ...
A Numerical Study and Optimization of a Morphing and Pitching Boeing Vertol VR-12 Rotorcraft Airfoil
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The helicopter blade has not undergone any major change in design in recent history, only minor adjustments like swept blade tips, variable twist blade, and application of small gurney flap style trailing edge devices. ...
An Investigation on Residual Stress Build-Up in Cold Sprayed Metallic Samples: Effect of Stress Relaxation Heat Treatment
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Residual stress formation during cold spraying process may result in deteriorative effects on the performance of coating materials. The objective of this investigation is to characterize residual stress built-up in some ...
Influences of Seawater Flows on the Degradation of Organic Coatings Applied on Offshore Wind Turbines
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The regular protection methods of offshore wind structures consist of the application of two or three layers of epoxy-based coatings with a polyurethane topcoat. The coating systems of offshore wind turbines are mostly ...
An Experimental Study of Fluid-Structure Interaction in Collapsible Vessels
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The fluid-structure interaction in collapsible thin-walled vessels is an important topic of research to better understand the physical mechanisms behind many physiological processes and diseases. In this work, we established ...
Regolith Based Polymer Matrix Composites for In-Situ Additive Manufacturing for Long Term Extraterrestrial Missions
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The completed study investigated Martian regolith simulant composites’ material properties when there was variation in the type of used Martian regolith simulant. Four types of Martian regolith simulant were mixed at varying ...
