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
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a large group of chemicals that can be found in many products that we use to build and maintain our homes. Some of the VOCs such as benzene, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, etc. can be found in our everyday life in the form of paints, cleaning agents, ... Read More
This paper describes the utilization of COMSOL Multiphysics® package for the finite element modeling of an educational closed-loop water tank. The custom water tank was built to be part of the fluid mechanics lab belonging to the Mechanical Engineering Program of SUNY New Paltz, NY. The ... Read More
Energetic materials that can readily burn are used throughout both private and government industries in manufacturing of, among other things, small arms ammunition and rockets. Collections of that material when ignited can pose a risk of burns for people in the immediate vicinity. The ... Read More
COMSOL® has been used to compare 2D and 3D model results to quantify what simplifications can be made when modeling thermal bridges. Currently there are suggestions put forward as to when it is appropriate to use 2D vs 3D models to capture the effects of thermal bridges. It is known ... 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
Microporous structures have been broadly used for a wide range of applications, such as integrated circuit packages, binders, surface coatings and filtration systems. We have developed microporous non-volatile emulsion thermosets (MiNET), a new class of composite resins made from epoxies ... Read More
As water networks around the world age, leakage and water main breaks are becoming an increasing problem. Leakage rates of 10-30% are typical in North America, and most cities suffer from hundreds (or thousands) of water main breaks every year. Echologics has developed the EchoShore ... Read More
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. In the United States, coronary artery disease accounts for 1 in 7 cardiovascular deaths. Cells in the blood and blood vessels are known to respond to alterations of the mechanical forces of their environment, such as blood ... Read More
The unconventional shale gas reservoirs have a major contribution to hydrocarbon production in recent years. The hydraulic stimulation technique is being used to enhance the productivity of the target reservoirs. The drilled wellbore and existing natural fractures in the host rocks have ... Read More
