Development Of A Wireless Telemetry Load And Displacement Sensor For Orthopaedic Applications, William Anderson
Development Of A Wireless Telemetry Load And Displacement Sensor For Orthopaedic Applications, William Anderson
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Due to sensor size and supporting circuitry, in vivo load and deformation measurements are currently restricted to applications within larger orthopaedic implants. The objective of this thesis is to repurpose a commercially available low-power, miniature, wireless, telemetric, tire-pressure sensor (FXTH87) to measure load and deformation for future use in biomechanical applications. The capacitive transducer membrane of the FXTH87 was modified, and a relationship was reported between applied compressive deformation and sensor signal value. The sensor package was embedded within a deformable enclosure to illustrate potential applications of the sensor for monitoring load. Finite element analysis was an effective tool to …
Metallization Process For 3d Printed Electronics: From I3dp Ii To 3d Co-Printing Technology, Junfeng Xiao
Metallization Process For 3d Printed Electronics: From I3dp Ii To 3d Co-Printing Technology, Junfeng Xiao
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
3D printing has emerged as a powerful additive manufacturing technique and becomes as a viable alternative to conventional manufacturing processes in an increasing number of applications. Thus, the development of printable materials also continues to expand, while polymers are still the most utilized materials in 3D printing. There is a great advance for developing polymers with versatile mechanical and chemical properties. However, the end-use products are demanding various functions. It is imperative to develop functional 3D printed polymeric materials to achieve enhanced functionalities.
Usually, one polymer can meet one specific application. This has considerably limited the capability of 3D printing …
Finite Element Analysis Of Assembly For Warped Composite Automotive Components, Theogenes De Oliveira Maia
Finite Element Analysis Of Assembly For Warped Composite Automotive Components, Theogenes De Oliveira Maia
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
One of the most used processes in the automotive industry is the moulding of parts made of thermoplastics filled with glass fibres. This research focused on a specific material: long fibre thermoplastics (LFT). On the one hand, the performance gain, in terms of lightweight and the strength of final components, justifies its wide use. On the other hand, due to the intrinsic characteristics of part manufacturing, warpage is evident and can influence or even compromise subsequent stages of production.
This research has three main objectives: recreate in the most faithfully way, in AbaqusTM environment, the conditions that precede the …
