Nanoscale interface mechanics with application to magnetic storage
The study of the mechanics and dynamics of nanoscale interfaces is of great interest, particularly for cutting-edge applications such as magnetic storage, which arguably constitutes the most successful application of nanotechnology. The goal in magnetic storage is to increase the recording density …

A Sensor for Three-Dimensional Limb-to-Prosthesis Interface Motion and Physiological Adaptations from Lower Extremity Prosthesis Use
… interacts with the prosthesis at the contact interface. The individualized nature of socket fabrication means that a prosthesis can create unique fit conditions, presenting a challenge when observations from various users are compared. Furthermore, it has been known that even within a single …

Bacteria At Oil-Water Interfaces
… in the context of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Bacteria can also become trapped at or near fluid interfaces, impacting bacteria fate and interface mechanics. Here I study bacteria near hexadecane-water interfaces. I investigate films formed by Pseudomonas sp. P62 at initially pristine …

Crack Path Selection in Adhesively Bonded Joints
… techniques can prevent failure at the interface. Through mechanically stretching the DCB specimens uniaxially until the adherends are plastically deformed, various levels of T-stress are achieved in the specimens. Test results of the specimens with various T-stresses demonstrate that …

Complex fluid lubrication mechanics of polyacrylamide surfaces
… used to mimic the slippery nature of biological interfaces. They provide a controlled material property, which helps to connect the properties to lubricating ability. While most hydrogel lubrication studies assume a steady state of sliding, a recent study discovered that under constant sliding, …
