Cold Metal Transfer-Gas Metal Arc Welding (CMT-GMAW) Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) Process Control Implementation 

Hunko, Wesley (2018-04-13)
While additive manufacturing is comprised of metal and polymer fabrication, current additively manufactured polymer-based products are much further from being put into industrial applications. Metal-based additive ...

Effect of H2O and H2O2 on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Selected Natural and Synthetic Polymer Structures 

Chou, Shih-Feng (2011-11-15)
Modern transportation systems may be subjected to unintentional contamination from infected passengers as well as deliberate contamination from terrorism. Hydrogen peroxide has been used for years as a disinfectant in the ...

The Investigation of Haliotis Rufescens (Red Abalone): Mesolayer Growth & Mechanical Behavior 

Zhang, Anqi (2017-11-30)
Self-assembly is a popular bottom-up process which results in highly-ordered and fine structures in micro- or nano-scale. The special structures produced through the self-assembly are always related to some unique and ...

Investigation of Heat Transfer and Bonding During Material Jetting Additive Manufacturing 

Khanal, Krishna (2018-11-15)
Optimum process parameters are critical to achieve deposits of high metallurgical integrity during material jetting additive manufacturing. The most important process parameters include deposition temperature, substrate ...

Measurement of mineral elastic modulus through nanoindentation 

Deng, Pu (2017-04-21)
Minerals are the main component of Earth’s crust and mantle. For our planet, the data we have on the Earth’s interior are obtained from the measurement of seismic wave velocity. Measurement in laboratory of mineral’s elastic ...

Measurement of Reliable Indentation Elastic Modulus in Brittle Materials from Berkovich Nano Indentation 

Chen, Yan (2016-08-01)
Determining the elastic modulus of brittle materials from unloading segments during standard indentation testing is complicated by surface generations of cracks and other defects form. This work describes a method to ...

Substrate Effect, Pile-Up and Sink-In Factors During Thin Film Nanoindentation 

Schwieker, Kevin (2011-08-19)
Theoretical and experimental models continue to be developed for thin-film nanoindentation that attempt to account for substrate effects in differing film-substrate combinations. While many models have been developed to ...
