Title: Distributed Renewable Energy Technologies:Design and Development of Scalable Transmission Systems
Author: Menon, Shruti Mohandas
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Renewable forms of energy are being intensively pursued and investigated in systems connected to the grid as well as in standalone applications. The global energy generation is expected to grow 2.7 times by the year 2035. Today, renewable energy r...

Title: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A TWO-BAR BRIDGE RAIL FOR COMPLIANCE WITH MASH TL-3 CONDITIONS USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Author: Fatoki, Joshua
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Roadside barriers are important safety devices installed on highways to mitigate the severity of injuries caused by crashes of errant vehicles. The two-bar metal bridge rail is a commonly used roadside barrier in North Carolina and is recognized f...

Title: MODELING OF DRUG RELEASE KINETICS FROM POROUS CERAMIC DISKS
Author: Joshi, Apurva
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: The use of biomaterials as drug delivery systems (DDS) eliminates the adverse side effects of systemic drug administration. Silica-based bioceramics have been widely studied as DDS and demonstrated a unique ability for controlled drug release loca...

Title: FINITE ELEMENT STUDIES OF ORTHOGONAL MACHINING OF ALUMINUM ALLOY A2024-T351
Author: Patel, Jaimeen
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Mechanics
Description: In this work, a new machining model using the commercial finite element software ABAQUS is developed. The model regards material separation, chip serration and breakage as ductile fracture processes where energy is required to form new surfaces. T...

Title: FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF VORTEX MACHINING PROBES
Author: Vaidya, Mandar
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Vortex machining is a unique localized material removal process in which footprints of several nanometer in depth are obtained. It employs a resonating quartz tuning fork and a fiber attached on its upper tine. When submerged in a layer of slurry,...

Title: ON THE USE OF SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS TO MODEL ORTHOGONAL MACHINING
Author: Avachat, Chinmay
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering
Description: Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional conditions that exist between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and the pos...
