Mechanics Of The Solid-State Bonding Under Severe Thermomechanical Processes, Xue Wang Dec 2020

Mechanics Of The Solid-State Bonding Under Severe Thermomechanical Processes, Xue Wang

Doctoral Dissertations

Friction stir welding (FSW) has found increased applications in automotive and aerospace industries due to its advantages of solid-state bonding, no fusion and melting, and versatility in various working conditions and material combinations. The extent and quality of the solid-state bonding between workpieces in FSW is the ultimate outcome of their industrial applications. However, the relationship among processing parameters, material properties, and bonding extent and fidelity remains largely empirical, primarily because of the lack of the mechanistic understanding of (1) tool-workpiece frictional behavior, and (2) bonding formation and evolution.

In this dissertation, to study the underlying mechanism of tool-workpiece frictional …


Development And Modeling Of A Biosensor Platform Using Algan/Gan Hemt Devices, Fahmida Shaheen Tulip Dec 2014

Development And Modeling Of A Biosensor Platform Using Algan/Gan Hemt Devices, Fahmida Shaheen Tulip

Doctoral Dissertations

The history of biosensors began in 1962 with the invention of enzyme electrodes by Leland C. Clark. Since then, biosensors have come a long way with simultaneous contributions in various fields such as biology, chemistry, material science, electronics, physics and VLSI. With the advancement in science and technology, smaller, more sensitive and dependable biosensors have become a reality. Still the need for cost-effective, sophisticated, reliable, robust biosensors that can be used to detect multiple types of biomolecules remains a technological challenge to be resolved.

The proposed AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) have excellent prospect to become the biosensor platform …
