Study Of The Capabilities Of Electrowetting On Dielectric Digital Microfluidics (EWOD DMF) Towards The High Efficient Thin-film Evaporative Cooling Platform
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-10-23)
With the current technological advancement, the size of the electronic components is being reduced to smaller and compact sizes. In the meantime, the packaging density and power consumption is ever increasing. To tackle ...
Passive Wireless Antenna Sensors For Crack Detection And Shear/compression Sensing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Despite the fact that engineering components and structures are carefully designed against fatigue failures, 50 to 90% of mechanical failures are due to fatigue crack formation. The severity of the failure depends on both ...

(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Accurate stress-strain constitutive properties are essential for understanding the complex deformation and failure mechanisms for materials with highly anisotropic mechanical properties. Among such materials, glass-fiber- ...
Investigation Of Side Wall Effects On An Inward Scramjet Inlet At Mach Number 8.6
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Experimental and computational studies were conducted to evaluate the performance of a scramjet inlet as the side cowl length is changed. A slender inward turning inlet with a total length of 304.8 mm, a span of 50.8 mm ...
Design, Fabrication And Test Of Surface Tension-driven Microboats And Thermally Oscillatory Bubble-propelled Microsubmarines
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-10-23)
In this work, we develop microboats and microsubmarines, which are capable of moving on and under water, respectively. The microboat is propelled due to the difference between surface tensions around stern and bow. This ...
