Bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is known for its giant spiral horns that can sustain impact loading at a speed up to 5.5 m/s during ramming without causing severe damage or head concussion. The bighorn sheep horn is composed of a keratin-based bio...

Description
The coal-fired steam electricity plants are interested in finding efficient ways to manageby-products from the combustion process out of environmental and regulatory considerations. As one of the major solid by-products, the coal fly ash (CFA) is ...
Metamaterials are man-made structures developed to engineer electromagnetic waves, and they have been studied intensely in recent decades. Although there are still debates about the performance of these types of artificial materials, many practica...
Magnetic gearboxes are a developing technology that is being considered as an alternative to mechanical gearboxes for non-contact transmission of torque in numerous applications. While mechanical gearboxes are commonplace in mechanical designs due...
In this thesis, a combined approach based on the Finite Element (FE) and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methods is proposed to model turning operations. The approach exploits the advantages of each method and leads to high-fidelity coupled ...
In the field of optical metrology, there are many existing techniques for measurement of the surface profile or film thickness of a sample of interest. However, many of these common techniques break down when there exists a high level of noise in ...
The generation of electricity from coal-fired power plants continue to be a mainstream approach. It is estimated that about 107 million tons of coal combustion residuals (CCRs) were generated in 2017 in the US (ACAA 2018). This equal amount of CCR...
