Anomalous Shear Stress Growth During Relaxation of a Soft Glass
Crystal E. Owens
We show experimentally that multiple soft glassy fluids are capable of storing directional rheological signatures from past shear history, evidenced during stress growth and overal…
Computational Rheometry of Yielding and Viscoplastic Flow in Vane-and-Cup Rheometer Fixtures
Emad Chaparian, Crystal E. Owens, Gareth H. McKinley
A planar two-dimensional computational analysis is presented to qualify traditional and fractal vane-in-cup geometries for accurate rheometry of simple viscoplastic fluids with and…
Printable, castable, nanocrystalline cellulose-epoxy composites exhibiting hierarchical nacre-like toughening
Abhinav Rao, Thibaut Divoux, Crystal Owens +1
Due to their exceptional mechanical and chemical properties and their natural abundance, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising building blocks of sustainable polymer composit…
Substrate-Versatile Direct-Write Printing of Carbon Nanotube-Based Flexible Conductors, Circuits, and Sensors
Crystal E. Owens, Robert J. Headrick, Steven M. Williams +4
Printed electronics rely on the deposition of conductive liquid inks, typically onto polymeric or paper substrates. Among available conductive fillers for use in electronic inks, c…
Is Machine Learning Able to Detect and Classify Failure in Piezoresistive Bone Cement Based on Electrical Signals?
Hamid Ghaednia, Crystal E. Owens, Lily E. Keiderling +4
At an estimated cost of $8 billion annually in the United States, revision surgeries to total joint replacements represent a substantial financial burden to the health care system.…
Interfacial Load Monitoring and Failure Detection in Total Joint Replacements via Piezoresistive Bone Cement and Electrical Impedance Tomography
Hamid Ghaednia, Crystal E. Owens, Ricardo Roberts +3
Aseptic loosening, or loss of implant fixation, is a common complication following total joint replacement. Revision surgeries cost the healthcare system over $8 billion annually i…
Improved Rheometry of Yield Stress Fluids Using Bespoke Fractal 3D Printed Vanes
Crystal E. Owens, A. John Hart, Gareth H. McKinley
To enable robust rheological measurements of the properties of yield stress fluids, we introduce a class of modified vane fixtures with fractal-like cross-sectional structures. A g…
Highly Parallel Acoustic Assembly of Microparticles into Well-Ordered Colloidal Crystallites
Crystal E. Owens, C. Wyatt Shields, Daniela F. Cruz +2
The precise arrangement of microscopic objects is critical to the development of functional materials and ornately patterned surfaces. Here, we present an acoustics-based method fo…
