Age-, Sex-, and Diabetes-Determined Changes in the Structure and Mechanics of Human Sartorius Tendon Collagen
(2019-08-29)In an age where men and women are remaining physically active into the geriatric years, age-related changes in soft tissue injuries and healing are becoming more important to clinical care. Differences in structure and ... -
Determining the Influence of Surface Preparation on Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Inconel 718/BNi-2
(2019-10-17)Transient liquid phase bonding is a high-performance brazing process used to join superalloys. Alloys that contain stable oxide layers present on the faying surface require surface preparation in order to be successfully ... -
Determining the Mechanisms Governing Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Nickel-based Superalloys using Boron Containing Filler Metals
(2020-05-05)During TLPB, an initial boron uptake (IBU) phenomena was quantified using DSC and microstructural analysis of a IN625 base metal (BM)/BNi-2 filler metal (FM) joint. A conceptual model was developed to quantify both the ... -
Development of a Novel Boron free Filler Metal for Transient Liquid Phase Bonding of Ni base superalloys
(2019-12-05)Joining of Ni base superalloys by transient liquid phase bonding (TLPB) has found limited application in aerospace due to the formation of brittle borides adjacent to the joint. Filler metals containing ~3 wt% B as a melting ... -
EXAMINING THE MECHANISMS AND KINETICS OF TRANSIENT LIQUID PHASE BONDING OF TITANIUM ALLOYS USING COPPER AND NICKEL FILLER METALS
(2019-11-05)Copper and nickel were examined as potential interlayers in transient liquid phase brazing (TLPB) of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V. Experimental parameters were set such that the braze temperature was ... -
Physiological Remodelling of Mitral Valve Chordae Tendineae In The Maternal Bovine Heart
(2016-08-11)Pregnancy is a cardiac volume-overload state that triggers heart valve remodelling. The bovine mitral valve anterior leaflet increases in area by ~35%, with a striking ~22% increase in the number of chordae tendineae ...
