I'm now working on the preparation and characterization of self-healing polymers, a promising branch in materials science. The following is a general conception of this kind of materials system. (Pasted from our group website http://www.autonomic.uiuc.edu.) I may introduce some of my current work later.
I am interested in using the Boundary Element Method for the hyperelastic materials. The objective of this work is to simulate the behaviour of elastomeric or rubber-like materials parts. I am now in the derivation stage, and I intened to use Ogden constitutive model with this derivation.
The Department of Aerospace Engineering at Ryerson University has a strong and vibrant research programme involving the development of pico- and femto-satellites (weighing less than 1 kilogram) under Dr.
This blog focuses on the micromechanics modeling of composite materials.
First of all, I am hardly a writer and to be honest, this tiny entry will probably have taken me a couple hours. Between watching tv, procrastinating, surfing the web, dealing with my recent concussion and the dizziness that has been associated with it, I've been having a bit of a tough time this semester. I think some of that may just be due to the fact that I'll be graduating (hopefully) soon.
I found very interesting web site (at least for me). That is World Universities’ ranking on the Web (WR).
Our current ability to accurately measure ventricular global contractile behavior remains unsatisfactory due to the lack of quantitative diagnostic indexes that can assess the mechanical properties of myocardial tissue.
Elastomers, or rubber like materials, have many engineering applications due to their wide availability and low cost. They are also used because of their excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, flexibility, resiliency, long service life, ability to seal against moisture, heat, and pressure, and non-toxic. It can be easily molded into almost any shape. Applications of elastomers include solid propellant, biomechanics and medical/dental, tires, gaskets, and engine mounts.
My name is David Schanuel and I am enrolled in the flexible macroelectronics course taught by professor Teng Li at the University of Maryland College Park. I am enrolled in this class for a couple of reasons, first being the interest in a new field of science and the second being a course that fufills a graduation requirement.
I was working on the problem set for and on question 16 and 17 refers to a paper by Charalmbides, Lund, Evans and McMeeking entitled
