Characterizing the Thermal Behavior of Pyrolytic Graphite Sheets (PGS) at Low Interface Pressures
… has led the Navy to pursue the design of a dry interface liquid cooling system to cool the iPEBB. This means that no liquid can cross the boundary of the iPEBB and thus the cooling system must be separate. In this thesis, an integral portion of the dry interface cooling solution, the thermal …

The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees
… are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studies have failed to adequately describe the effects that components with such compliances have on amputee …

Ambulatory Sub-Bandage Pressure Assessment: Background and implementation
… and monitoring of ambulatory sub-bandage interface pressures, on healthy volunteers and patients, as the basis for more in-depth future studies.<br/><br/>The projected study required a literature review concerning the socio-economic aspects, aetiology and healing methods (focusing on …

Advanced prototyping of variable impedance prosthetic sockets for trans-tibial amputees : polyjet matrix 3D printing of comfortable prosthetic sockets using digital anatomical data
… into a 3D printed socket to achieve lower interface peak pressures over bony protuberances by using anthropomorphic data acquired through surface scanning and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. An inverse linear mathematical transformation spatially maps quantitative measurements (bone …

An integrated human factors approach to design and evaluation of the driver workspace and interface: Driver perceptions, behaviors, and objective measures
An ergonomic driver workspace and interface design is essential to ensure a healthier and comfortable driving experience in terms of driver perceptions, postures, and interface pressures. Developing more effective methods for driver-side interior design and evaluation, hence, requires thorough …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) have atrophied muscle, leading to increased risk of developing pressure ulcers (PU). Even so, some persons with SCI are more susceptible to PUs. The thesis presents several measurements of tissue health to better understand individual differences.The gluteus …
