PocketCaBER and PocketDoS: Low-cost open-source tools for teaching and learning advanced topics in fluid mechanics
Zhaofeng Peng, Lucas Warwaruk, Thomas Livesay +4
We describe two open-source, 3D-printable, flexure-based tools for the quantitative measurement of extensional properties of viscoelastic fluids. These low-cost, portable, and scal…
Embedded Direct Ink Writing of Thermoset and Elastomeric Polymers via Frontal Polymerization
Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Yun Seong Kim, Pallab Layek +10
Direct ink writing (DIW) using frontal ring-opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) offers a compelling route to the rapid and energy-efficient fabrication of thermoset and elast…
Physics of unraveling and micromechanics of hagfish threads
Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Dakota Piorkowski, Andrew Lowe +5
Hagfish slime is a unique biological material composed of mucus and protein threads that rapidly deploy into a cohesive network when deployed in seawater. The forces involved in th…
High-throughput viscometry via machine-learning from videos of inverted vials
Ignacio Arretche, Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Ramdas Tiwari +6
Although the inverted vial test has been widely used as a qualitative method for estimating fluid viscosity, quantitative rheological characterization has remained limited due to i…
