Experimental Studies of Pulsatile Flow Passing Side Wall Biological Cavities and Flow Enhancement Using Hydrophobic Surfaces
(2020)
Understanding the hemodynamics of the cardiovascular system and associated diseases is important for mitigating health risks. We applied flow diagnostic techniques to investigate pulsatile flow characteristics past sidewall ...
Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Composites Manufactured by Stereolithography
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The effectiveness of manufacturing short glass fiber composites using stereolithography (SLA) was investigated. Modifications were made to a standard SLA printer to induce a flow field through the resin tank. In this study ...
Experimental Investigation of Shear Thickening Fluid Impregnated Flax Fabric and Flax/Kevlar Hybrid Fabrics
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Shear thickening fluids have the potential to improve the effectiveness of fabric materials in body armor applications as they have shown to increase the puncture and ballistic resistance of Kevlar fabrics. However, the ...
Increasing Cotton Product/Waste Value Through New Use Development
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Cotton products have been used for centuries with relatively low value and their ubiquitous use generating large quantities of waste materials. This research’s goal was to develop new uses for waste cotton fiber and ...
Computational Simulations of Flow Past a Rotating Arrangement of Three Cylinders Using Hybrid Turbulence Models
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Over the past 25 years, advances in the field of turbulence modeling have been made in an effort to resolve more scales, preserving unsteadiness within a flow. In this research two hybrid models, Scale-Adaptive Simulation ...
Atomic Force Microscopy-Based Nanomechanical Characterization of Kenaf Microfiber and Cellulose Nanofibril
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Kenaf fiber is increasingly getting the attention of the industries due to its excellent mechanical properties, feasibility, growth rate, and ease of cultivation. On the other hand, cellulose nanofibril is one of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
