Development of a one-dimensional moving window atomistic framework to model steady state shock wave propagation

Davis, Alexander (2020-04-10)

We develop a long-time, large-domain moving window atomistic framework using Molecular Dynamics (MD) to model shock wave propagation through a one-dimensional system. We implement ideas of control volume on a MD framework ...

Development of Self-Degrading 3D Printed Polymer Matrix Composites via Moisture Absorption Evaluation

Banjo, Adedotun (2020-07-15)

Polymer degradation is a change in properties such as strength, color, shape, of a polymer or polymer-based material due to the effect of one or more environmental factors. These factors include heat, light or chemicals ...

Investigating the Process-Structure-Property Relationships of Additively Manufactured 17-4 Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel

Dastranjy Nezhadfar, Pooriya (2022-07-28)

The present work aims to investigate the process-structure-property relationships for the additively manufactured 17-4 PH stainless steel to improve its mechanical performance. To this end, a multidisciplinary (i.e., ...

Microcapsule based self-healing for 3D printed polymer composites
