Microstructure – Mechanical Property Relationships in Transient Liquid Phase Bonded Nickel-Based Superalloys and Iron-based ODS Alloys
(2008-09-09)
The research work presented here discusses the microstructure-mechanical property relationships in wide gap transient liquid phase (TLP) bonds, between the single crystal nickel-base superalloy CMSX-4 and two polycrystalline ...
Effect of Silver nanoparticles on tomato plants and Development of a Plant Monitoring System (PMS)
(2008-09-09)
Smart Agriculture will determine whether farmers in the US can compete internationally. Engineering plays a significant role in Smart Agriculture through the development of sensor networks, data acquisition, and control ...
Chemical Sensing Employing pH Sensitive Emeraldine Base Thin Film for Carbon Dioxide Detection
(2008-09-09)
Respiration, or CO2 evolution, is a universal indicator for all the biological activities. Among many potential applications, the measurement of CO2 evolution has been found to be a rapid and nondestructive means for ...
Measurements of the thermal expansion and heat capacity of metals by electromagnetic levitation
(2009-02-23)
Electromagnetic levitation is a very useful non-contact melting technique that can be exploited for measurements of thermophysical properties of many reactive metals and alloys. This study focused on thermal expansion and ...
Numerical simulation and mechanical properties of free-standing silver thin films
(2009-02-23)
Membrane deflection test is well studied to investigate the mechanical properties for polycrystalline metal thin films. Numerical simulations by ANSYS software of membranes with different bottom window sizes show the ...
Development and Study of Phage-Coated Magnetoelastic Biosensors for the Detection of Bacillus Anthracis Sterne Spores
(2009-02-23)
Bacillus anthracis spores have long been recognized as biological warfare agents because of their ability to cause mortality in humans and their long life under unfavorable environments. The early detection of Bacillus ...
Development of Bulk-scale and Thin Film Magnetostrictive Sensor
(2008-09-09)
Three key areas were investigated in this research. These are: (1) finite element
modeling using modal analysis to better understand the mechanics of longitudinal
vibration system, (2) thin film material Young’s modulus ...
Novel Sensor for Rapid Detection of Blood Cell Types-Magnetostrictive Microcantilevers
(2008-09-09)
Microcantilevers have been around since the development of atomic force microscopy. The main attraction of cantilevers results from the fact that they can transduce many different signal domains into mechanical signals. ...
Radiative emissivity of metals and oxidized metals at high temperature
(2009-02-23)
Radiative emissivities of metals at high temperatures influence the energy balance and remote sensing in a wide range of manufacturing processes as well as research and development activities and thereby determine performance ...
Novel Nano-Liter Scale Microfluidic Platform for Protein Kinetics
(2009-02-23)
In the mid-1970s, integrated circuits exploited miniaturized transistors to bring a revolution in the field of computation. This marked the foundation of computers and information technology. In this century, we are on the ...
