Application of mild hypothermia successfully mitigates neural injury in a 3D in-vitro model of traumatic brain injury
(PLOS One, 2020-03-05)Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is an attractive target for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) treatment, yet significant gaps in our mechanistic understanding of TH, especially at the cellular level, remain and need to be ... -
Epifluorescence-based three-dimensional traction force microscopy
(2020)We introduce a novel method to compute three-dimensional (3D) displacements and both in-plane and out-of-plane tractions on nominally planar transparent materials using standard epifluorescence microscopy. Despite the ... -
High-speed, 3D volumetric displacement and strain mapping in soft materials using Light Field Microscopy
(2022-04-14)Background: High strain-rate deformations of soft materials occur in many applications, and thus measurements of at-rate volumetric deformations are needed to understand physical processes relevant to, for example, hydrogel ... -
NSF Workshop: Critical Review and Assessment of International Research and Development in Manufacturing Sensing and Control
(2003-06-03)The Workshop was sponsored by the Division of Design, Manufacture, and Industrial Innovation (DMII) of the National Science Foundation. The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers in the manufacturing ... -
Open Source, In-situ, Intermediate Strain Rate Tensile Impact Device for Soft Materials and Cell Culture Systems
(2022-11-22)Background: Intermediate-strain-rate mechanical testing of soft and biological materials is important when designing, measuring, predicting, or manipulating an object or system’s response to common impact scenarios. Open ... -
SerialTrack: ScalE and Rotation Invariant Augmented Lagrangian Particle Tracking
(2022-03-03)We present a new particle tracking algorithm to accurately resolve large deformation and rotational motion fields, which takes advantage of both local and global particle tracking algorithms. We call this method the ScalE ... -
STIFFNESS ANALYSES FOR THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF A PROSTHETIC FOOT
(2007-08-07)There are 110 million uncleared landmines in 64 countries around the world (OSCE, 1998). There have been over 1 million landmine victims since 1975, and the number is growing at a rate of 26,000 new victims each year ...
