Numerical analysis of fluid-rock interactions in hydraulic fracturing
(Thomas Telford (ICE Publishing), 2018-11-08)Hydraulic fracturing is a process of fluid injection into the well. This process creates tensile stresses in the rock in order to overcome the tensile strength of the formation. In this study, a three-phase hydro-mechanical ... -
The mechanics of decompressive craniectomy: Personalized simulations
(Elsevier, 2016-08-29)Decompressive craniectomy is a traditional but controversial surgical procedure that removes part of the skull to allow an injured and swollen brain to expand outward. Recent studies suggest that mechanical strain is ... -
Screening of effective electrolyte additives for zinc-based redox flow battery systems
(Elsevier, 2018)The purpose of this work is to assess the suitability of potential electrolyte additives for zinc morphology control and improved electrochemical performance of the zinc electrode for application in zinc based redox flow ... -
Methods for evaluating particle coalescence and their implications in laser sintering
(Elsevier, 2018-10-27)An experimental study on the melt and coalescence of different Poly(aryl ether ketones) (PAEK) powders was carried out. The study consisted of evaluating individual particles and neck growth using a hot stage platform. ... -
An electromechanical model of ferroelectret for energy harvesting
(IOP Publishing, 2016-03-14)A ferroelectret is a cellular polymer foam that is able to convert compressive and bending forces into electrical signals, which can be used for both sensing and energy harvesting. In the past several research groups have ... -
