      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      A CELL-BASED MICROPHYSIOMETER SEBASTIAN J. ELUVATHINGAL Thesis under the direction of Professor Mark A. Stremler A computational model of the cell-based microphysiometer is presented in this thesis. The microphysiometer ...
    • Computational modeling of fluid–structure interaction in biological flying and swimming 
      Dai, Hu (2013-03-06)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Insects and fish in the animal world typically possess superior efficiency in locomotion, and they are capable of maneuvering in complex environments full of unpredictable disturbances. Such locomotion modes have inspired ...
    • Friction Stir Welded magnesium alloy AZ31B in a lap joint configuration 
      Cox, Chase Davison (2010-08-05)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Friction Stir Welding is a solid state joining process that has been shown to successfully join Mg alloys. However the presence of FSW Mg AZ31B in a lap joint configuration in the literature is largely underrepresented ...
    • Interaction of fluids and thin structures: simulation and applications 
      Yin, Bo (2013-03-01)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Interactions between fluids and solid structures of small thickness can be found in many applications, e.g., aerodynamics of the membranous wings of insects, hydrodynamics of fish fins, human heart valves, flags and tree ...
    • Investigation of the Madaras Wind Turbine using Computational Tools 
      Ingram, Philip David (2012-11-15)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Computational modeling of the Madaras wind turbine is presented in this thesis. First, comparative studies were performed based upon literature results to validate the accuracy of the computational model. Then, the Madaras ...
