The generation of a spray of small droplets by gas-assisted atomization of a liquid jet is widely used in many applications such as combustion, agriculture, medical therapies, and powder fabrication, among others. The initial stage of liquid jet breakup in...

Parametric resonance is a dynamic phenomenon where one or more parameters of the system (i.e., inertia, stiffness or damping) are periodically modulated in time. Parametric resonators are governed by a 2nd order, linear non-autonomous differential equation. In microelectromechanical systems (MEMS),...

Fluid-structure interactions involving electrokinetic phenomena are increasingly relevant in microfluidics, biomedical systems, and soft robotics. One notable electrokinetic phenomenon is diffusioosmotic flow—the spontaneous movement of fluid along a stationary surface driven by a solute concentration gradient. In electrolyte solutions, diffusioosmotic...

The flow field in the wake of tethered spheres undergoing vortex-induced-vibrations (VIV) is highly complex and depends strongly on the reduced velocity, U*, and mass ratio, m*, amongst others. VIV can have disastrous results but can also be used to...

Robots are a key part of our future; they will need to be able to move and work in various environments and with changing interactions with objects and environment. A big part of today’s research focuses on different aspects of...

Nonlinear dynamics is crucial in understanding the complex behavior of systems across various engineering fields. Unlike linear systems, which exhibit predictable and proportional responses, nonlinear systems can display unexpected and complex behaviors. This complexity is often found in natural and...

Low enthalpy hypersonic wind tunnel testing is limited by a mismatch between the specified Mach number and the Reynolds number of the full-scale (target) vehicle. This is due to both the difference in physical dimensions and the universal reliance on...

Robotic assistance is now common in minimally invasive surgery, but progressing from teleoperation to reliable autonomy requires controllers that adapt to soft-tissue mechanics. We address a core subtask of autonomous suturing: precision needle driving through deformable tissue; where the robot...

I will present a new fabrication method that uses surface tension and boundary elements to drive a volume of liquid polymer into a desired structural element in a simulated zero-gravity environment. This method creates rigid elements with extremely smooth surfaces,...

Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their low energy requirements and volume efficiency. However, photopolymerization generates significant heat, which is difficult to dissipate in...
