The development of the peninsula blister fracture test for adhesively bonded joints
… the development and application of the peninsula blister test to quantitatively measure the adhesion of various adhesively bonded joints. Analytical results reveal that this peninsula-like geometry benefits from both a constant strain energy release rate over the major portion of the debond length …

Manufacturing of Lab-On-a-Chip devices : variation analysis of liquid delivery using blister packs
… technology. One such system uses a 'blister pack' that is pushed by an actuator. Over the course of product development, Daktari Diagnostics had completed nominal design of a blister pack for their flow rate requirements. This work involved performing a thorough variation analysis of …

The Effect of Work of Adhesion on Contact of a Pressurized Blister With a Flat Surface
… of solids, a modification to the constrained blister test is proposed. Most of the previous work on constrained blisters has examined the debonding of the blister from the surface underneath as pressure is applied from below. In this thesis, the contact of the constrained blister with the flat …

Measuring Material Properties of Proton Exchange Membranes using Pressure Loaded Blister Testing and Digital Image Correlation
… has become an important topic. The use of the blister test geometry, along with digital image correlation of the deformed shape, creates a self-contained analysis tool useful for measuring the biaxial strength of membranes. In this work, blister tests are used to measure biaxial stress and …

Modeling Blister Rust Incidence in Whitebark Pine at Northern Rocky Mountain Alpine Treelines: A Geospatial Approach
… (Cronartium ribicola) that causes white pine blister rust in five-needled pines. Originally thought to be limited to moderate environments, the disease is now found extensively throughout colder and dryer regions east of the Continental Divide, including alpine treeline. My research objective …

Analysis and Modeling of the Mechanical Durability of Proton Exchange Membranes Using Pressure-Loaded Blister Tests
… cell durability. In this thesis, pressure loaded blister tests are used to study the mechanical durability of Gore-Select® series 57 over a range of times, temperatures, and loading histories. Ramped pressure tests are used with a linear viscoelastic analog to Hencky's classical solution for a …
