Abstract:

A novel all-polymer flexural plate wave (FPW) sensor from a piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film with poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly- (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes has been fabricated and characterized. PVDF films are made piezoelectric by stretching and poling. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the transition of the PVDF into its piezoelectric β-phase. Inks of PEDOT:PSS, dimethyl sulfoxide and Triton X-100 are deposited on the PVDF films by inkjet printing to produce the IDT patterns. The sensor operates using fun

Abstract:

Long bone fractures are fixed with bone plates to restrain movement of bone fragments. Fracture site must experience some pressure for proper healing. Bone plates are mostly made up of metals having 5 - 10 times higher elastic modulus than bones and most of the load is carried by them, leading to stress shielding and a bony tissue with low mineral density and strength. To avoid these problems, biodegradable polymer-based composite plates were designed and tested in this study.

Abstract:

Currently growth plate fractures account for nearly 18.5% of fractures in children and can lead to stunted bone growth or angular deformation. If the body is unable to heal itself a bony bar forms, preventing normal bone growth. Clinical treatment involves removing the bony bar and replacing it with a filler substance, which causes poor results 60% of the time. Using primarily poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) as the scaffold material, the goal was to develop an implant that would support to the implant site, allow for cell ingrowth, and degrade away over time.

Abstract:

Polymer based flexural plate wave (FPW) chemical sensors are unique among guided acoustic devices in that they are comprised of components with similar elastic moduli. As a result, they can be very sensitive to stiffness and stress variations in an applied sensing layer. This property may be leveraged to detect the presence of an analyte or to interrogate the mechanical properties of the applied polymer. In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based, polyethylene dioxythiophene polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) coated FPW devices are fabricated and tested with the purpose of developi

Abstract:

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) produce electricity with minimum environmental impact. The major hurdles in commercialisation of PEMFCs are the high commissioning and operation costs and the durability of the cell. A bipolar plate (BPP) is a key weight and cost determining component in PEMFC that undertakes significant performance-determining functions in the cell. Currently, stainless steel is used as a BPP in large number of commercial PEMFCs; however, corrosion within the harsh fuel cell operating environment remains a major concern.

Entangled polymeric fluids subjected to shear display a stress plateau through a range of shear rates. The formation of this plateau is often attributed to an entanglement-disentanglement transition in scientific literature. However, to our best knowledge in situ studies recovering the intermediate scattering function of polymer dynamics under shear have until now never been performed.

Abstract:

The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as an alternate to steel has proved to be an effective solution to the corrosion problem. However, FRP bars have low axial and transverse stiffness compared to steel bars which results in a lower shear capacity of FRP reinforced concrete (RC) elements compared to steel-RC elements. Flat plate systems are commonly used to take advantages of the absence of beams. They, however, are susceptible to punching shear failure where the column suddenly punches through the slab. An experimental program was conducted to investigate the punching shear

Aging bridges in the United States demand effective, efficient, and economical strengthening techniques to meet future traffic requirements. One such technique is to bond steel or fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plates to the tension faces of reinforced concrete bridge beams with adhesives to strengthen them in flexure. However, beams that have been flexurally strengthened in this manner often fail prematurely, in particular by plate end peeling. The benefits of flexural strengthening by externally bonded reinforcement can only be fully realized by preventing premature failure modes so as to

Abstract:

Noise and vibration suppression is an important aspect in the design process of structures and machines. Undesirable vibrations can cause fatigue in a structure and are, therefore, a risk to the safety of a structure. One of the most effective and widely used methods of mitigating these unwanted vibrations from a system is passive damping, by using a viscoelastic material. This dissertation will primarily focus on constrained layer passive damping treatments in structures and the investigation of associated complex modes.

Abstract:

This project is aimed at developing and demonstrating highly conductive, lightweight, and low-cost thermoplastic blends to be used as flow field bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. <br><br> The research is focused on designing, prototyping, and testing carbon-filled thermoplastic composites with high electrical conductivity, as well as suitable mechanical and process properties. <br><br> The impact of different types of fillers on the composite blend properties was evaluated, as well as the synergetic effect of mixtures of fill types within a thermoplast
