Internal examination of mid-infrared chalcogenide glass optical fiber preforms and fiber using near-infrared imaging (2021)
Journal Article

We report on the internal examination of mid-infrared chalcogenide glasses using near-infrared light to reveal light-scattering defects. The technique is demonstrated on imperfectly made chalcogenide glass rods and fiber. This simple, non-destructive...

Probing cultural differences in product design and consumer evaluation using repertory grid analysis (2021)
Journal Article

Culture plays an essential role in the success of product design, especially in the age of a global economy where there is a high probability of discrepancy between the designer's intention and the consumer's response. However, the role of culture is... Read More about Probing cultural differences in product design and consumer evaluation using repertory grid analysis.

Measurement of Sub-23 nm Particulate Emissions from GDI Engines: A Comparison of Processing Methods (2021)
Journal Article

Engine research has increasingly focused on emission of sub 23 nm particulates in recent years. Likewise, current legislative efforts are being made for particulate number (PN) emission limits to include this previously omitted size range. In Europe,...

The spherical primitive and perlin noise method to recreate realistic aggregate shapes (2021)
Journal Article

Abstract: An algorithm to re-create virtual aggregates with realistic shapes is presented in this paper. The algorithm has been implemented in the Unity 3D platform. The idea is to re-create realistically the virtual coarse and crushed aggregates tha... Read More about The spherical primitive and perlin noise method to recreate realistic aggregate shapes.

Design and validation of a mechanically flexible and ultra-lightweight high-density diffuse optical tomography system for functional neuroimaging of newborns (2021)
Journal Article

Significance: Neonates are a highly vulnerable population. The risk of brain injury is greater during the first days and weeks after birth than at any other time of life. Functional neuroimaging that can be performed longitudinally and at the cot-sid...

Parametric sizing study for the design of a lightweight composite railway axle (2021)
Journal Article

The potential for lightweighting of railway axles was investigated to primarily reduce the unsprung mass of a rail vehicle. The reduction of unsprung mass equates to an overall lighter train which will help to reduce track damage, energy consumption...
