Optimal design of piezoelectric microstructures
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-04)
Application of piezoelectric materials requires an improvement in their performance characteristics which can be obtained by designing new topologies of microstructures (or unit cells) for these materials. The topology of ...
Gadolinium‐Doped Iron Oxide Nanoprobe as Multifunctional Bioimaging Agent and Drug Delivery System
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2015-10)
Fuel Cell Membrane Electrode Assemblies Fabricated by Layer-by-Layer Electrostatic Self-Assembly Techniques We acknowledge the UM OVPR office for a faculty seed grant awarded to the first author. We also thank Professor Phillip Savage for generous use of lab space and equipment.
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-10-09)
High activity, carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts were synthesized using a supercritical fluid method and a selective heterogeneous nucleation reaction to disperse Pt onto single walled carbon nanotube and carbon fiber ...
Finding building shapes that minimize mean trip times
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
The paper provides a computer-aided means of ensuring that a proposed multiple-floor building is shaped so that the time that people need to move around inside the building is minimized. The metric that captures this is ...
Thermal and Electrical Transport in Ultralow Density Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotube Networks
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag, 2013-06-04)
A practical method for limit torsion problems
(Elsevier, 1979-06)
The sand hill analogy should have closed the chapter of the limit plastic torsion problem except that there exists no convenient method to evaluate the volume of a general sand hill which gives the limiting torque. ...
Interactions of a liquid crystalline polymer with polycarbonate and poly(ethylene terephthalate)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
Thermal behaviour of blends of a liquid crystalline copoly(ester amide) (Vectra B950) with two isotropic polymers has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry. One of the isotropic polymers is an amorphous polymer ...
A small-specimen investigation of the fracture toughness of Ti 5 Si 3
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman & Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1995-01)
The fracture toughness of the refractory hardmetal Ti 5 Si 3 , with a grain size between 5 and 6 μm, was measured using the controlled-flaw method in conjunction with the miniaturized disc-bend test. The specimens used in ...
Architected Origami Materials: How Folding Creates Sophisticated Mechanical Properties
(Tuttle PublishingWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2019-02)
Origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, is not only an inspiring technique to create sophisticated shapes, but also a surprisingly powerful method to induce nonlinear mechanical properties. Over the last decade, ...
