Part I: Study of fracture properties of graphene--like two--dimensional materials using molecular dynamics (MD) simulationsGraphene is a monoatomic thick sheet of sp2-hyb[...]

The utilization of interferometric stitching with coherence scanning interferometers has allowed these instruments to measure much larger areas than a single site measure[...]

Roadside safety hardware systems play a vital role in reducing both the number and severity of multi-vehicular collisions by preventing errant vehicles from traversing th[...]

With nonrigid parts, it is most convenient for designers to specify the desired shape in the design condition; that is, the shape is specified with all loads present that[...]

The objective of this research is to investigate the ignition behavior of combustible solid materials in fire. Three key tasks were conducted for it: (1) a new theoretica[...]

This PhD dissertation focuses on three distinct areas of study: Inconel Alloy 740H,polycrystalline graphene, and tetragraphene (TG). These materials each have their uniqu[...]
