Parametric Investigation of a Dielectric Barrier Dishcarge Plasma Actuator
(North Dakota State University, 2010)The dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator is considered an effective flow control device in various aerospace applications such as drag control, lift control, and stall control. The DBD plasma actuator has ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Device Design for In-Situ EIS Measurements of Organic Coatings Under Accelerated Degradation Via Impingement Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2020)This paper demonstrated a holistic approach to the study of corrosion degradation mechanism of organic coatings using impingement flows. A state-of-the-art impingement flow testing device was developed for the experimental ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Literature Review of the Aerodynamics of Flapping Flight in Micro Air Vehicle Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Biological flapping wing flyers achieve flight maneuverability and efficiency in low speed flight environments that has not been replicated by man-made flyers. Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) design goals are to develop flyers ... -
Simulation of a Sudden Expansion Using Axis Symmetric Modeling for Newtonian Blood Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2014)This paper examines the flow of a Newtonian modeled blood through axisymmetric sudden expansion geometry. Reynolds number of 500, 2000, 3500, 5000, and 6500 are examined using laminar, shear stress transport, and base line ... -
Cavitation Inception and Contaminant Effects
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Within a liquid, it is possible to lower the pressure to a point in which the nuclei gas bubbles will cause cavitation inception. During this drop in pressure, at constant temperature, the bubble tension will increase to ...
