Design of piezoelectric oscillometry, accuracy in tracking time-varying impedance and implications on the frequency dependence of resistance
(2019-01-15)Oscillometry (OS) is commonly performed by actuators that are heavy and bulky. In this thesis I designed and simulated a new single frequency OS system. This novel design used a piezoelectric bimorph actuator on resonance. ... -
Design, fabrication, and performance of high-frequency phased-array ultrasonic endoscopes
(2020-04-15)With a rapidly aging population, there is an imminent need to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. Minimally invasive surgical procedures have the potential to help facilitate this objective due to shorter ... -
The Development of a 3D Piezoelectric Active Microtissue Model for Airway Smooth Muscle
(2013-04-30)Although asthma is primarily thought to be an inflammatory disease of the airways, it has recently been hypothesized that the altered mechanical environment of an asthmatic airway may contribute to the development of the ...
