Experimental Studies of Pulsatile Flow Characteristics of Aortic Models under Normal and Diseased Conditions
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. Aorta is extremely important because of its critical function in blood circulation. Abnormal hemodynamics of aortic valve and arch is related to many severe diseases ...
Modal Analysis of the Human Brain Using Dynamic Mode Decomposition
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The human brain is the most important organ of the human body. It controls our thoughts, movements and emotions. For that reason, protecting the brain from harm is of the utmost importance but to protect the brain, one ...
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 ...
A Review of Flow Diagnostic Methods and Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2023)
This work provides an overview of common flow velocimetry and diagnostic techniques, including their working principles and the application of these techniques. Probe velocimetry techniques such as pitot tubes and hot wire ...
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 ...
