Metamaterials are composites of subwavelength structures that can be engineered to affect the propagation of a wave in specific ways as it travels through the material. While metamaterials can be used with any type of wave, they are most commonly found in electromagnetic waves. However, ... En savoir plus
As post-LHC particle accelerators of higher energy become prohibitively expensive, physisicists are turning to precision low-energy measurements of fundamental symmetries as an avenue for the discovery of new physics. A common requirement of many of these experiments is precision ... En savoir plus
Our group developed an experimental millimetric capsule intended to release chemicals or drugs. The delivery mechanism of such device relies on the thermal expansion of carbon-elastomer composites which deform upon irradiation of light supplied by a Laser diode through an optical fiber. ...

In this work we report on an investigation of the effect of the magnetic particles size on the effective macroscopic behavior of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs are a class of smart materials known for their tunable deformation. They are composite materials which consist of ... En savoir plus
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a large group of chemicals that can be found in many products that we use to build and maintain our homes. Some of the VOCs such as benzene, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, etc. can be found in our everyday life in the form of paints, cleaning agents, ... En savoir plus
This paper describes the utilization of COMSOL Multiphysics® package for the finite element modeling of an educational closed-loop water tank. The custom water tank was built to be part of the fluid mechanics lab belonging to the Mechanical Engineering Program of SUNY New Paltz, NY. The ... En savoir plus
Energetic materials that can readily burn are used throughout both private and government industries in manufacturing of, among other things, small arms ammunition and rockets. Collections of that material when ignited can pose a risk of burns for people in the immediate vicinity. The ... En savoir plus
COMSOL® has been used to compare 2D and 3D model results to quantify what simplifications can be made when modeling thermal bridges. Currently there are suggestions put forward as to when it is appropriate to use 2D vs 3D models to capture the effects of thermal bridges. It is known ... En savoir plus
The impact of surface roughness on the optical transmission of light pipes has been addressed using a geometric optics approximation (GOA); however, there has not been a comparison between the GOA and a wave optics solution to evaluate the relative impact of diffraction effects on the ...

Microporous structures have been broadly used for a wide range of applications, such as integrated circuit packages, binders, surface coatings and filtration systems. We have developed microporous non-volatile emulsion thermosets (MiNET), a new class of composite resins made from epoxies ... En savoir plus
