Moisture Damage Characterization Of Warm-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Based On Laboratory-Field Evaluation, Yong-Rak Kim, Jun Zhang, Hoki Ban Jan 2012

Moisture Damage Characterization Of Warm-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Based On Laboratory-Field Evaluation, Yong-Rak Kim, Jun Zhang, Hoki Ban

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

This study presents laboratory evaluation integrated with field performance to examine two widely used warm-mix asphalt (WMA) approaches—foaming and emulsion technology. For a more realistic evaluation of the WMA approaches, trial pavement sections of the WMA mixtures and their counterpart hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures were implemented in Antelope County, Nebraska. Field-mixed loose mixtures collected at the time of paving were transported to the laboratories to conduct various experimental evaluations of the individual mixtures. Among the laboratory tests, three (two conventional and one newly attempted) were performed to characterize moisture damage potential which is the primary focus of this study. From …


Monitoring The Wall Mechanics During Stent Deployment In A Vessel, Brian Steinert, Shijia Zhao, Linxia Gu Jan 2012

Monitoring The Wall Mechanics During Stent Deployment In A Vessel, Brian Steinert, Shijia Zhao, Linxia Gu

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

Clinical trials have reported different restenosis rates for various stent designs . It is speculated that stentinduced strain concentrations on the arterial wall lead to tissue injury, which initiates restenosis . This hypothesis needs further investigations including better quantifications of non-uniform strain distribution on the artery following stent implantation. A non-contact surface strain measurement method for the stented artery is presented in this work. ARAMIS stereo optical surface strain measurement system uses two optical high speed cameras to capture the motion of each reference point, and resolve three dimensional strains over the deforming surface. As a mesh stent is deployed …


Thickness-Shear And Thickness-Twist Modes In An Oblate Elliptical Ceramic Cylinder And Energy Trapping In Contoured Acoustic Wave Resonators, Huijing He, Jiashi Yang, Yi-Hua Huang Jan 2012

Thickness-Shear And Thickness-Twist Modes In An Oblate Elliptical Ceramic Cylinder And Energy Trapping In Contoured Acoustic Wave Resonators, Huijing He, Jiashi Yang, Yi-Hua Huang

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

We study shear-horizontal motions of a piezoelectric ceramic cylinder with an oblate elliptical cross section and axial poling. Exact thickness-shear and thickness-twist vibration modes are obtained. These modes show energy trapping, i.e., the vibration is mainly confined near the thick, central region and decays to almost nothing near the edges. The results are useful for the understanding and design of contoured piezoelectric resonators for strong energy trapping.

Atherosclerosis is intimately coupled to blood flow by the presence of predilection sites. The coupling is through mechanotransduction of endothelial cells and approximately 2000 gene are associated with this process. This paper describes a new platform to study and identify new signalling pathways in endothelial cells covering an atherosclerotic plaque. The identified networks are synthesized in primary cells to study their reaction to flow. This synthetic approach might lead to new insights and drug targets.


Nanotopographic Cell Culture Substrate: Polymer-Demixed Nanotextured Films Under Cell Culture Conditions, Jung Yul Lim, Christopher A. Siedlecki, Henry J. Donahue Jan 2012

Nanotopographic Cell Culture Substrate: Polymer-Demixed Nanotextured Films Under Cell Culture Conditions, Jung Yul Lim, Christopher A. Siedlecki, Henry J. Donahue

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

Modulating physical cell culture environments via nanoscale substrate topographic modification has recently been of significant interest in regenerative medicine. Many studies have utilized a polymer-demixing technique to produce nanotextured films and showed that cellular adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation could be regulated by the shape and scale of the polymer-demixed nanotopographies. However, little attention has been paid to the topographic fidelity of the polymer-demixed films when exposed to cell culture conditions. In this brief article, two polymer-demixing systems were employed to assess topographic changes in polymer-demixed films after fibronectin (FN) extracellular matrix protein adsorption and after incubation in phosphate-buffered saline at …


Usability Assessment Of Two Different Control Modes For The Master Console Of A Laparoscopic Surgical Robot, Xiaoli Zhang, Carl A. Nelson, Dmitry Oleynikov Jan 2012

Usability Assessment Of Two Different Control Modes For The Master Console Of A Laparoscopic Surgical Robot, Xiaoli Zhang, Carl A. Nelson, Dmitry Oleynikov

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

The objective of this study is to evaluate potential interface control modes for a compact fourdegree- of-freedom (4-DOF) surgical robot. The goal is to improve robot usability by incorporating a sophisticated haptics-capable interface. Two control modes were developed using a commercially available haptic joystick: (1) a virtually point-constrained interface providing an analog for constrained laparoscopic motion (3-DOF rotation and 1-DOF translation), and (2) an unconstrained Cartesian input interface mapping more directly to the surgical tool tip motions. Subjects (n = 5) successfully performed tissue identification and manipulation tasks in an animal model in point-constrained and unconstrained control modes, respectively, with …


Tool Sequence Trends In Minimally Invasive Surgery: Statistical Analysis And Implications For Predictive Control Of Multifunction Instruments, Carl A. Nelson, Evan Luxon, Dmitry Oleynikov Jan 2012

Tool Sequence Trends In Minimally Invasive Surgery: Statistical Analysis And Implications For Predictive Control Of Multifunction Instruments, Carl A. Nelson, Evan Luxon, Dmitry Oleynikov

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

This paper presents an analysis of 67 minimally invasive surgical procedures covering 11 different procedure types to determine patterns of tool use. A new graph-theoretic approach was taken to organize and analyze the data. Through grouping surgeries by type, trends of common tool changes were identified. Using the concept of signal/noise ratio, these trends were found to be statistically strong. The tool-use trends were used to generate tool placement patterns for modular (multi-tool, cartridge-type) surgical tool systems, and the same 67 surgeries were numerically simulated to determine the optimality of these tool arrangements. The results indicate that aggregated tool-use data …


Thickness-Shear And Thickness-Twist Vibrations Of An At-Cut Quartz Mesa Resonator, Huijing He, Jinxi Liu, Jiashi Yang Oct 2011

Thickness-Shear And Thickness-Twist Vibrations Of An At-Cut Quartz Mesa Resonator, Huijing He, Jinxi Liu, Jiashi Yang

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

We study thickness-shear and thickness-twist vibrations of an AT-cut quartz plate mesa resonator with stepped thickness. The equations of anisotropic elasticity are used with the omission of the small elastic constant c56. An analytical solution is obtained using Fourier series from which the resonant frequencies, mode shapes, and energy trapping are calculated and examined. The solution shows that a mesa resonator exhibits strong energy trapping of thickness-shear and thickness-twist modes, and that the trapping is sensitive to some of the structural parameters of the resonator.
