• The role of molecular length scale on the viscoplastic response of amorphous polymer nanofibers in the glassy state 

  Kolluru, Pavan (2015-01-21)

  Polymeric nanostructures are quite distinct because of the large ratio of surface-to-volume macromolecules which result in very different physical and mechanical behavior compared to bulk. Of special interest are nanostructures ...

• Interaction between a conical shock wave and a plane compressible turbulent boundary layer at Mach 2.05 

  Hale, Jason (2015-01-21)

  The interaction between an impinging conical shock wave with a plane compressible turbulent boundary layer has been studied at Mach 2.05. Surface oil flow and pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) data were obtained beneath the ...

• Effects of micro- and nano-structure on the deformation response of a Ag60Cu40 lamellar and rod-in-matrix eutectic alloy 

  Kingstedt, Owen (2015-01-21)

  The presented work investigates the mechanical response of the silver-copper eutectic system (Ag60Cu40, subscripts indicating atomic percent) linking material deformation to microstructural properties. The Ag60Cu40 material ...
