Modeling Viscoelastomers With Nonlinear Viscosity
(CSME-SCGM, Jun-18)Consisting of highly mobile and flexible polymer chains, elastomers are known to exhibit viscoelastic behavior. Adopting concepts from the theory of polymer dynamics and finite-deformation viscoelasticity, this work presents ... -
Review Paper On Digital Manufacturing & Design
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)The transformation is happening through digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) – a shift from paper-based processes to digital processes in the manufacturing industry.as technology is having a huge impact on the ways ... -
Development Of A Dynamic, Reconfigurable Finger-Hand Skeletal Structure
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)A finger or hand brace may be required to be worn for people who require physical support or ‘controlled motion’ support. Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) patients have connective tissue disorders, and wear braces to support ... -
Multi-Objective Optimization During Machining Ti-6Al-4V Using Nano-Fluids
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)Several properties make titanium and its alloy the primary candidate to attain weight and functional advantages because of its promising properties such as high strength to weight ratio, high corrosion resistivity, and ... -
A Hybrid Manufacturing Approach For Low Volume High Temperature Thermoplastic / Thermoset Material Molds
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)The mold costs for low volume production molds can be expensive due to the mold material, the process planning time, and the fabrication costs. The focus of this research is to develop a methodology to fabricate molds for ... -
Investigation Of Short-Side-Chain Ionomer And Membrane For Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have been progressively designed to become suitable for high-temperature operation to achieve further performance improvements. However, the current state-of-the-art fuel cell ... -
A Higher Order Theory Of Beams And Its Application To The Mems/Nems Analysis And Simulations
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)A higher order theory for beams based on expansion of the two dimensional (2-D) equations of elasticity into Legendre’s polynomials series has been developed. The 2-D equations of elasticity have been expanded into Legendre’s ... -
Effects Of A Channel Inclination On Displacements Of Viscoplastic Fluids
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)The miscible displacement flow of a viscoplastic fluid by a Newtonian fluid is studied numerically and analytically in a near-horizontal 2D channel. We focus on a density-unstable flow configuration where the displacing ... -
Gradient Elasticity Modelling For The Analysis Of Fiber Composites With Fiber Resistant To Flexure
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)A model for the deformation of an elastic solid reinforced by embedded fibers is presented in which elastic resistance of the fibers to bending is incorporated. We developed the equilibrium equations and necessary boundary ... -
A Comparison Between Cyclone Separator Efficiency Enhancement Using Ferrous Powder And Additional Tangential Chamber
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)This paper provides a comparison between the separation efficiency in cyclones separators using two optimization techniques. separation optimizations using ferrous powder, and additional tangential chamber were investigated. ... -
Towards A Conceptual Model Of Design Team Learning In Mechanical Engineering Education
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)Design education is the backbone of the undergraduate Mechanical Engineering (ME) curriculum at Lassonde School of Engineering (LSE). ME students take project-based design courses every year of their program. Students in ... -
Generating Reuse Possibilities For Retired Wind-Turbine Blades
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)This work examines identifying reuses for wind-turbine blades that are retired when they reach the end of their technical life. Wind-turbine blades are made from fibercomposite materials, for which effective material-based ... -
Influence Of Porosity And Alloy Addition On The Wear Behaviour Of A Sinter-Forged C45 Steel Using Taguchi Method
(CSME-SCGM, May-18)Elemental powders of Atomized Iron (Fe), Carbon (C) and Molybdenum (Mo) were weighed and mixed in a pot mill to yield the composition of C45, C45-1%Mo and C45-2%Mo Steels, then compacted and sintered. The Sintered preforms ... -
