Computational and Experimental Nano Mechanics
The many advances of nano technology extensively revolutionize mechanics. A tremendous need is growing to further bridge the gap between the classical mechanics and the nano scale for many applications at different engineering fields. For instance, the themes of interdisciplinary and …

Nano-Mechanics of Cartilage Glycosaminoglycans Using Molecular Dynamics Methods
Articular Cartilage (AC) is the main load carrying material in synovial joints {Hamerman, 1962} and degeneration of AC can cause pain in the form of arthritis. Current work is centered on the method of replacing damaged cartilage inside the body (in vivo) with tissue engineered outside the body (ex …

Micro and nano mechanics of materials response during instrumented frictional sliding
… many computational studies have explored the mechanics of instrumented normal indentation. In contrast, very few studies have investigated quantitative aspects of frictional sliding contact in the elasto-plastic regime. In this thesis, a new framework was developed to establish relationships …

Strengthening of metals using a graphene monolayer
… and their mechanical properties probed from the nano- to the microscales. To this end, a model system of ultrathin metal films coated with graphene monolayer via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is designed and used to study as-grown graphene’s contributions in graphene-metal composite thin films. …

Microfluidic assembly of zein microcapsules
… using microfluidic approach. First, zein nanoparticles were used as building blocks to stabilize emulsions. By tuning the wettability of the zein nanoparticles with sodium caseinate, the emulsion stability was further improved. An optimal zein: caseinate ratio of 10:3 increased the …
