An investigtion into the ability of a kinetic particle-based solver for study of gas flows in micro-scale structures
… understanding of the flow physics encountered in micro- and nano-scales. The prominence of this line of enquiryis due to its recurring influence in the fields of MEMS and porous media. These flows occur in pathways whose width is comparable to the mean free path and thus, are classified as …

Microassembly via polymeric stamp-based transfer printing
This thesis aims to study microassembly of micro-scale objects involving transfer printing and its applications. Conventional top-down monolithic microfabrication schemes puts many limitations on fabricating structures with complex device architectures or packaging schemes. As such, engineering …

Cell migration and alignment on mechanically controlled environment
… look at the cell development behavior on various micro scale structures. Tubule etching structures, ribbon-like 3D structures, and table structures are explored to observe the cell growth, migration, alignment, and even the effect of cells on those structures. Studying the mechanically controlled …

Structure and dynamics of mangetorheological fluids confined in microfluidic devices
Microfluidic devices and magnetorheological (MR) fluids have been two areas of intense research for several years. Traditionally, these two fields have remained separated from one another by scale. MR fluids are best known for their use in large-scale applications such as seismic dampers for the …

Steady and Unsteady Thermo-Strucural Simulation of Thermally Actuated Micro- and Nano-Structures
… provides a thermo-structural simulation for nano-scale and micro-scale structures with pinned and fixed boundary conditions which are either thermally positioned, buckled, or actuated. The study begins with simulating a pinned-pinned beam in micro-scale and nano-scale. The steady state …

Interfacial and Physical Confinement Effects on the Structure and Properties of Aligned Carbon Nanotube Architectures
The advantaged mass-specific, intrinsic, and scale-dependent properties of aligned nanofibers, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their ability to be densified into high volume fraction (commonly, vol%) 3D architectures motivates their use as shape-engineerable materials and composite …
