    • Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms

    • Winder, Brian Geoffrey 1979-

    • Designing mechanical products in a competitive environment can present unique challenges, and designers constantly search for innovative ways to increase efficiency. One way to save space and reduce cost is to use ortho-planar compliant mechanisms...



    • All Hexahedral Meshing of Multiple Source, Multiple Target, Multiple Axis Geometries Via Automatic Grafting and Sweeping

    • Earp, Matthew N 1978-

    • The development of algorithms for the automatic creation of finite element meshes composed entirely of hexahedra (all-hex) is an active area of research. All-hex meshes are desirable for their characteristic of high accuracy with a low node...



    • Analysis and Comparison of Three Acoustic Energy Density Probes

    • Locey, Lance Lester 1977-

    • Traditional methods for the investigation of sound fields generally rely on a microphone to convert sound pressure into an electrical signal which can be recorded, displayed, and so forth. The squared sound pressure is directly related to...




    • Analysis of Viscous Drag Reduction and Thermal Transport Effects for Microengineered Ultrahydrophobic Surfaces

    • Davies, Jason W 1979-

    • One approach recently proposed for reducing the frictional resistance to liquid flow in microchannels is the patterning of micro-ribs and cavities on the channel walls. When treated with a hydrophobic coating, the liquid flowing in the...



    • Automated Manipulation for the Lotus Filament Winding Process

    • Anderson, Jeffrey V 1977-

    • The filament-winding process produces quality consistent composite parts for many industries. Filament winding allows for consistent quality parts by automating the winding process. A recent development of filament winding is the Lotus process. ...



    • Compliant Mechanisms to Perform Bearing and Spring Function in High Precision Applications

    • Cannon, Jesse R 1978-

    • An increasing number of mechanical systems are being designed on the micro and meso scales. Assembly and maintenance become increasingly difficult as the size of mechanisms decrease, and the minimum size of traditional elements such as bearings...




    • Development of a Five-Axis Machining Algorithm in Flat End Mill Roughing

    • Thompson, Michael Blaine 1976-

    • To further the research done in machining complex surfaces, Jensen [1993] developed an algorithm that matches the normal curvature at a point along the surface with the resultant radius formed by tilting a standard flat end mill. The algorithm...



    • Direct Observation of Laser Filamentation in High-Order Harmonic Generation

    • Painter, John Charles 1977-

    • We investigate the spatial evolution of an intense laser pulse as it generates high-order harmonics in a long gas cell, filled with 80 torr of helium. A thin foil separates the gas-filled region of the cell from a subsequent evacuated region. The...



    • Evaluation and Development of Actuators for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms with Emphasis on Flat Solenoids

    • Black, Justin Durant

    • Lamina emergent mechanisms (LEMs) can provide a way to meet the demand for more compact and inexpensive mechanisms. Previous research has developed LEM designs and identified applications for them, but many applications would benefit from suitable...



    • Fast Registration of Tabular Document Images Using the Fourier-Mellin Transform

    • Hutchison, Luke Alexander Daysh 1976-

    • Image registration, the process of finding the transformation that best maps one image to another, is an important tool in document image processing. Having properly-aligned microfilm images can help in manual and automated content extraction,...



    • Geologic Map and Structural Analysis of the Twin Rocks 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, Wayne County, Utah

    • Sorber, Samuel C 1980-

    • A new geologic map of the Twin Rocks 7.5 minute quadrangle primarily located within Capitol Reef National Park, south-central Utah, provides stratigraphic and structural detail not previously available. This map has also been instrumental in...



    • Geologic Map of the Golden Throne Quadrangle, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah

    • Martin, Daniel H 1977-

    • The Golden Throne Quadrangle is located within Capitol Reef National Park, south-central Utah. Geologic mapping of this 1:24,000 scale 7.5 minute quadrangle began in 2003 as the National Parks Service desired to have geologic maps at this scale...



    • Low Loss Hybrid Waveguide Electric Field Sensor Based on Optical D-fiber

    • Johnson, Eric K 1980-

    • This thesis presents the fabrication of a low loss hybrid waveguide electric field(E-field) sensor based on optical D-fiber. This novel E-field sensor is formed as part of a contiguous fiber resulting in a flexible and small cross-section device...



    • Mineral chemistry of basalts recovered from Hotspot Snake River Scientific Drilling Project, Idaho: Source and crystallization characteristics

    • Bradshaw, Richard W.

    • Mineral chemistry and petrography of basalts from the Kimama drill core recovered by Hotspot: Snake River Scientific Drilling Project, Idaho establish crystallization conditions of these lavas. Twenty-three basalt samples, from 20 individual lava...



    • Modeling, Design, and Testing of Contact-Aided Compliant Mechanisms in Spinal Arthroplasty

    • Halverson, Peter Andrew 1982-

    • Injury, instrumentation, or surgery may change the functional biomechanics of the spine. Spinal fusion, the current surgical treatment of choice, stabilizes the spine by rigid fixation, reducing spinal mobility at the cost of increased stress at...



    • Ortho-Planar Mechanisms for Microelectromechanical Systems

    • Lusk, Craig P 1973-

    • A method for representing the design space of ortho-planar mechanisms has been developed. The method is based on the Theorem of Equality of Orientation Set Measures (TEOSM) which allows mechanisms to be represented by points in an abstract space....



    • Pluton Zonation Unveiled by Gamma-ray Spectrometry and Magnetic Susceptibility; A Case Study of the Sheeprock Granite, Western, Utah

    • Richardson, Paul D 1976-

    • A radiometric survey of the zoned 21 Ma, A-type Sheeprock granite, western Utah, combined with measurements of magnetic susceptibility and field observations were analyzed using a geographic information system. The intrusion spans 25 square km and...



    • Predicting Drag Polars For Micro Air Vehicles

    • Luke, Mark Elden 1976-

    • Drag polars for three Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) were measured at Reynolds numbers of 70,000, 50,000, 30,000, and 10,000 and compared to predictions generated using the classical approach. The MAVs tested had different configurations and aspect...




    • Role of Wnt5a and Possible Pathway of Action Through Ror2 in Proximodistal Outgrowth of the Limb

    • Dahl, Tiffanie M

    • Despite over 60 years of study, the molecular pathways and mechanisms governing limb outgrowth and patterning remain poorly understood. Fgfs expressed in the AER are known to be necessary and sufficient for proximodistal limb outgrowth and have...



    • Slab-Coupled Optical Fiber Sensors for Electric Field Sensing Applications

    • Gibson, Richard S 1980-

    • This dissertation presents the creation of slab coupled optical sensors (SCOS) for electric field sensing applications. SCOS devices utilize the benefits of an optical fiber system for high bandwidth and low electromagnetic interference. These...
