Micro-transfer printing (MTP) enables mass-transfer of wafer-level chips having lateral dimensions ranging from 3 x 7 um to 650 x 650 um to a nonnative substrate. This is accomplished with an elastomeric stamp containing micrometer scale posts that have been precisely defined using ... Read More
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills typically experience significant settlement associated with various multi-physical factors such as waste property, placement timing, total height, and environmental conditions such as temperature and saturation throughout the lifetime of the ... Read More
Elastocaloric heating/cooling takes advantage of the structural changes in shape memory alloys (SMAs) that release and absorb heat when a strain is applied over a transition temperature. Heating/cooling cycles that use SMAs offer a potential solution to issues associated with the use of ... Read More
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Devices such as acoustics sensors, finger print sensors, tunable capacitors etc. are widely used in commercial applications. The pressure sensors use membranes which deflect upon applied pressure load. The most important aspect of any pressure sensor is its ... Read More
A significant population of microorganisms (bacteria, archae and fungi) live inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and are collectively known as microbiota [1]. The microbiota contain lifelong information on the health of an individual and can assist in early diagnosis of diseases such ... Read More
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a MEMS-actuated deformable mirror (DM) consisting of a 20 × 20 Lorentz-force actuator array bonded to a flexible mirror. The DM is the critical component of an Adaptive Optics (AO) system targeted for ground-based telescope ... Read More
Introduction: The influence of delamination in a small area of a large composite plate due to drop-weight impact was studied in this work. Layerwise theory was only applied to the delamination area to save computational memory. The vibration analysis coupling composite shell and acoustic ... Read More
The laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process involves a highly localized laser heating, resulting in a large thermal gradient that induces residual thermal stress and deformation in the finished build. The excessive residual deformation in the direction normal to in the process plane could ... Read More
Soft lossy viscoelastic polymers can dissipate significant amounts of energy in the form of heat when subjected to dynamic mechanical stimuli. As a result, structures comprised of such lossy materials may heat up considerably when excited by loads at a frequency that approaches one of ... Read More
Radial fins are widely used in industrial applications to enhance heat transfer. Exact solutions are available for radial fins of simple profiles such as rectangular, concave and convex parabolic, hyperbolic and triangular. However, such solutions may be cumbersome for use in everyday ... Read More
