Characterization of evaporation kinetics and wettability using a quartz crystal microbalance
Murray, Brandon (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Evaporation of water is ubiquitous, found in a multitude of natural processes and industrial applications. While scientific studies of water evaporation have been performed for over a century, there exists continued interest ... -
Development of a control volume framework for analyzing cerebrospinal fluid dynamics
Cohen, Benjamin I. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Effects of interfacially-driven flow on the protein expression of Escherichia coli at physiological temperature
Adam, Joe (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)This investigation assessed the effects of interfacially-driven shear flow on the ability of the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) to produce green fluorescent protein (GFP). Shear forces at interfaces have been shown ... -
Lattice defects and dislocation mediated plasticity in cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine : a molecular dynamics study
Mathew, Nithin (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)This thesis presents an investigation into lattice defects and their role in mechanical response of energetic molecular crystal cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine, commonly known as RDX. The investigations are performed using ... -
Modeling of the thermomechanical response of ultrasonically activated soft tissue
Jin, Congran (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)A multi-physics computational model has been developed to investigate the thermomechanical response of the ultrasonically activated soft tissue. In pursuit of better understanding of the extent of deformation of soft tissues ... -
Non-equilibrium molecular simulations of simple fluid transport at fluid-solid interfaces and fluidic behaviors at nanoscale
Yong, Xin (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Numerical modeling and simulations on electro-active polymer flow control
Weddle, Andrew S. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Numerical study of mechanics of phonation
Yu, Feimi (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Human phonation is a highly complex process that involves three-way interactions between fluid dynamics of the glottal flow, acoustic waves in the vocal tract, and structural mechanics of the vocal folds. Due to its complex ... -
Shock tube studies of the autoignition of jet fuels, surrogates and components
Wang, Haowei (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Testing of a combined Savonius-Darrieus wind turbine
Freeman, Janine M. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12)
