• Coiled Shape Memory Alloy (CSMA) Actuators and Conductive Filament for the Realization of 3D Printed Robots 

  Potnuru, Akshay (2018-08)

  Soft robots and humanoids need actuators with low profile, lightweight, high strain and relatively high frequency. Coiled shape memory alloy (CSMA) actuators satisfy these requirements, as SMAs are high-energy density ...

• A Theoretical Framework for Generative Modeling of Human Functional Brain Networks 

  Nandy, Shaurabh (2018-08)

  One of the key challenges in the analyses of the human connectome is the development of a systematic framework for representing and evaluating generative models. Network generative models go beyond summary statistics and ...

• Condition Monitoring for Discrete Packaged Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors in Power Converters 

  Ali, Syed Huzaif (2018-08)

  Extensive utilization of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBTs) in the power converters has significantly increased concerns over its reliability. Failure of such critical component eventually cause unexpected shut ...

• Mechanical Characterization and Modeling of Composite Materials During Compression and Actuation 

  Wang, Xuemin (2018-08)

  Composites have a wide range of applications due to their excellent mechanical properties. In order to investigate the mechanisms of the recently developed composites, it is critical to characterize and model the performance ...

• Interactions of Renal Clearable Gold Nanoparticles with the Kidneys in Vitro and in Vivo 

  Xu, Jing (2018-08)

  The emergence of renal clearable inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) offers a great opportunity to address the health concern raised by nonspecific accumulation of conventional inorganic NPs in the macrophage system, mostly in ...
