In this work we report on an investigation of the effect of the magnetic particles size on the effective macroscopic behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are a class of smart materials known for their tunable deformation. They are composite materials which consist of ... Read More
The impact of surface roughness on the optical transmission of light pipes has been addressed using a geometric optics approximation (GOA); however, there has not been a comparison between the GOA and a wave optics solution to evaluate the relative impact of diffraction effects on the ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is a plasma thruster being researched at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been shown in Figure 1. It involves a helicon source along with an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) chamber. IEC is a fusion ... Read More
Electrospray Deposition (ESD) is a process used in manufacturing that utilizes a charged capillary to disperse a flowing liquid into a spray that deposits onto a grounded target substrate. The build-up of charge on the substrate can begin to deflect further spray, allowing the material ... Read More
Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems (MSBS) are a method of levitating an aerodynamic model in a wind tunnel. An unusual characteristic is that the electromagnet assemblies (outside the wind tunnel) are very large, but the levitated object (a permanent magnet core) is quite small and ... Read More
Rich literature exists on calculation of copper loss in windings of high-frequency transformers and inductors. Most of the work was carried out in a Dowell approximation ignoring the windings aspect ratio and core presence. Calculation of losses at non-sinusoidal currents is made usually ... Read More
Devices which scavenge energy from ambient mechanical sources such as human body movement and ocean waves are undergoing rapid research and development. Both triboelectric and piezoelectric effects have been employed in the design of such devices. In this work, we use the MEMS Module in ... Read More
Terahertz radiation (THz) is defined to have frequencies from 0.1-10 THz (1 THz=1e12 Hz). This radiation lies between microwave and infrared radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum. Metamaterials are designed periodic materials that show exotic properties to light and sound. ... Read More
The coaxial cable is one of the most commonly used bandwidth limited signal transmission line.Dispersion is a signal distortion phenomenon which arises due to frequency dependence of phase velocity of signal components. This phenomenon was explained through time domain approach by ... Read More
Conventional cardiac electrical signal monitoring and measurement techniques such as Electrocardiograph (ECG) are prone to operator error due to multiple lead attachment requirements. These multiple electrode based systems are also not convenient for continuous cardiac health monitoring, ... Read More
