Adhesively Bonded Multi-Material Single Lap Joints Under Static Tensile Loading, Yesim Kokner
Adhesively Bonded Multi-Material Single Lap Joints Under Static Tensile Loading, Yesim Kokner
Dissertations and Theses
Adhesive joints are widely used in a variety of industrial applications utilizing the improved mechanical properties they provide over traditional mechanical joining methods. [1] The lap joint is a usual test specimen with a view to assessing the strength and properties of joints.
This study deals with the stiffness, strength and fracture behavior of multi-material single-lap joints. It describes the mechanical behavior of a multi-material single lap joints subjected to static tensile loading in the longitudinal direction. First, steel-to-steel and aluminum-to-aluminum joints are tested to establish baseline data. Subsequently, multi-material joints consisting of aluminum-to-steel, aluminum-to-composite, and steel-to-composite joints were tested …
Ternary Flow Simulation Based On The Conservative Phase Field Lattice Boltzmann Method, Chunheng Zhao
Ternary Flow Simulation Based On The Conservative Phase Field Lattice Boltzmann Method, Chunheng Zhao
Dissertations and Theses
In this thesis, we numerically investigated multi-phase fluid dynamics (2 and 3-phase flow) by solving the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the conservative phase field (CPF) equations using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). To effectively simulate the large-scale multi-phase physics, we developed an open-source software, IMEXLBM, which can be easily parallelized on both CPUs and GPUs without significant modifications to the code. We first validated various parts of this software and then used this method to study the interaction of rising bubbles with a static oil droplet as well as the engulfment of the water droplet on solids coated with a …
A Micromechanics Study On Ferroelectrics And Multiferroic Composites, Zhiming Hu
A Micromechanics Study On Ferroelectrics And Multiferroic Composites, Zhiming Hu
Dissertations and Theses
Two kinds of modern composites are studied in this thesis. One is ferroelectric materials, and the other is the multiferroic composites. Based upon the essential properties of these two types materials, several issues need to be considered in order to study their effective properties. For example, the microstructures of the system including the shape, size and the distribution; the phase connectivity; and the loading conditions will impact the results. First, we focus on the investigation of ferroelectrics and its composites. Based on the experimental observations, the nonlinear electromechanical coupling responses of ferroelectrics are strongly depending on the frequency of the …
Wrinkling Of Membrane And Thin Film Under Torsion, Tingting Chen
Wrinkling Of Membrane And Thin Film Under Torsion, Tingting Chen
Dissertations and Theses
Membranes and thin film structures are widely used in modern technologies. Applications include solar sails and sunshields in space missions, biological membranes and flexible circuit boards. Wrinkling of membrane or a stiff film on a soft substrate may occur in either desired or unwanted patterns. This work tries to obtain some understanding on the wrinkling phenomenon and provide guidance in avoiding wrinkling or effectively controlling the wrinkle patterns.
Many works have been published about wrinkling in the thin sheets since the 20th century. However, there is no simple analytical way to systematically characterize the wrinkling in these studies. In …
The Influence Of Size And Progression Of Intra-Cerebral Hematoma On The Lateral Ventricles, Muhammad J. Ashraf
The Influence Of Size And Progression Of Intra-Cerebral Hematoma On The Lateral Ventricles, Muhammad J. Ashraf
Dissertations and Theses
Cerebrovascular diseases like intra cerebral hemorrhage are quite deadly and may disturb functioning of the brain, expanding and resulting in formation of an intra cerebral hematoma(ICH). It is imperative to comprehend how hematoma and its expansion inside the brain endangers human life. One of the influences of an ICH inside brain tissue is on the Lateral Ventricles(LV). When the hemorrhage occurs close enough to the lateral ventricles, filled with cerebrospinal fluid(CSF), it disrupts the balance of fluid in LV. A minor pressure change in LV can negatively influence the production of CSF as well as an increase in intracranial pressure. …
