    • Cutting Force Prediction on Micromilling Magnesium Metal Matrix Composites With Nanoreinforcements 

      Liu, Jian; Li, Juan; Xu, Chengying (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      Due to its light weight, high creep, and wear resistance, magnesium metal matrix composites (MgMMCs) with nanosized reinforcements are promising for various industrial applications, especially those with high volume fractions ...

    • Nanomanufacturing Methods for the Reduction of Noise in Carbon Nanotube Based Piezoresistive Sensor Systems 

      Cullinan, Michael A.; Culpepper, Martin L. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      Carbon nanotube (CNT)based piezoresistive strain sensors have the potential to outperform traditional siliconbased piezoresistors in MEMS devices due to their high strain sensitivity. However, the resolution of CNTbased ...

    • Investigations Into Superhydrophobicity of a Soot Surface Attributed to Nano Asperities 

      Ramachandran, Rahul; Seetharaman, Madhu; Sharma, N. N. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      Superhydrophobicity in nature is the result of multiscale (hierarchical) roughness which consists of nanoasperities superimposed on micrometer scale roughness. A lowcost superhydrophobic surface was prepared by depositing ...

    • Transient Analysis of Laser Ablation Process With Plasma Shielding: One Dimensional Model Using Finite Volume Method 

      Marla, Deepak; Bhandarkar, Upendra V.; Joshi, Suhas S. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      This paper presents a comprehensive transient model of various phenomena that occur during laser ablation of TiC target at subnanosecond timesteps. The model is a 1D numerical simulation using finite volume method (FVM) ...

    • On the Acceleration Limits for Sliding and Detachment Between Contacting Rough Surfaces for Micropart Manipulation in a Dry Environment 

      Rizwan, Mohsin; Shiakolas, Panos S. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      Micropart manipulation is an active research area encompassing a wide array of fields and applications. As the size of the parts to be manipulated by an automated system decreases, the dominant forces are different compared ...

    • Direct Sinter Bonding of Metal Injection Molded Parts to Solid Substrate Through Use of Deformable Surface Microfeatures 

      Martens, Thomas; Mears, M. Laine (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      In the metal injection molding (MIM) process, fine metal powders are mixed with a binder and injected into molds, similar to plastic injection molding. After molding, the binder is removed from the part, and the compact ...

    • Effects of Pulse Duration on Laser Micro Polishing 

      Vadali, Madhu; Ma, Chao; Duffie, Neil A.; Li, Xiaochun; Pfefferkorn, Frank E. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2013)
      Pulsed laser micro polishing (PLخ¼P) has been shown to be an effective method of polishing micro metallic parts whose surface roughness can approach the feature size. Laser pulse duration in the PLخ¼P process is an important ...
