PEM fuel cell with high-performance bipolar plates
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
The consumption of electricity has drastically increased over the last decade and the need for cheap energy efficient sources has augmented. Fuel cells have been proposed as possible power sources to address issues that ...
CFD analysis of blood flow through stenosed arteries
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
The pathological complications of atherosclerosis, namely heart disease and stroke, remain the leading cause of mortality in the world. Cardiovascular illness is highly prevalent among the American population. One manifesto ...
Correlation between analytical result and experimental results of mode shapes
(Northern Illinois University, 1999)
Typically, even though natural frequencies obtained by analytical and experimental methods are compared quantitatively, mode shapes are compared only qualitatively. In this thesis, mode shapes are also correlated quantitatively ...
Data analytics for machinery vibration
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
Production and manufacturing technologies related companies are more and more opting for condition based maintenance of their machines. The condition based maintenance requires a monitoring system which collects the data ...
A computational model for switch surfaces
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
Computation of contact points between the wheel and rail is a fundamental problem in dynamic simulation of trains. For this purpose, an accurate model of a switch surface is needed. The objective of this study is to develop ...
Tremor control
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
Essential Tremor is caused by the contraction of the antagonist muscles in human beings and is generally defined as an involuntary, rhythmic and roughly sinusoidal. Although tremor is not life threatening, it causes social ...
Numerical and experimental study of Bauschinger effect on AA5182 sheets
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
For stamping process, most of the sheet metal elements undergo a complicated deformation process that may comprise a sequence of stretching, bending, unbending and reverse bending processes. For this kind of deformation, ...
Effect of material on acoustic and structural response of a frustum subjected to fluid flow
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
The objective of this study to decrease the sound at outside of a bowl shaped solid, Point source is being used for generate the sound. Poro-acoustics and Acoustic structure interaction modules have been used for simulation, ...
Thermo-electrical field analysis for the treatment of tumors in the liver
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
Hepatic tumors occur in liver tissue due to the growth of malignant cells. Low Frequency Joule Heating (LFJH) is one of the cancer treatment methods that show tremendous potential to treat hepatic cancer without causing ...
The analysis and study of stress distribution over the whole human body and some joints by using FEM method
(Northern Illinois University, 2015)
The biomechanics, on contrast with other areas, has a fast development in the past few years, but many of the researches are just focused on one or two parts of human body, like the knee joints or the lumbar vertebra as ...
