This project focuses on automating and standardizing the crowning process of a 15-foot Farnham roll form machine, used to shape aluminum parts, including fuselage and wing skins. The current crowning adjustment compensates for force imbalances caused by screws positioned at the machine’s ends and requires extensive manual shimming for optimal contact along 18 adjustable brackets. This process is detrimental to the manufacturing flow, as the time it takes to adjust the Farnham Press for different types of sheet metal or bends is long enough to significantly slow down production. To streamline this process, the project’s objectives are to design a method to measure bracket-to-material contact accurately, create an adjustable bracket system without the need for shims, and provide operators with real-time measurement feedback to optimize crowning adjustments efficiently. This will be achieved by redesigning the brackets with integrated sensors to accurately read the changing force along the beam.
Progress to date includes multiple bracket designs developed by the mechanical team, featuring adjustable mechanisms such as vertical screws, wedges, and easily insertable shims for depth control. Concurrently, the electrical team has conducted extensive research into sensor options and collaborated with sensor companies to identify suitable measurement solutions. Efforts are also underway to establish a data display interface that can provide real-time readouts from all 18 sensors, enabling operators to make informed adjustments during operation. Future work aims to explore a CNC-style interface for full control automation, which would allow streamlined adjustments for different part profiles and material thicknesses. This approach is expected to significantly reduce setup time and improve consistency in part quality.

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have emerged as a promising platform for drug delivery and bioimaging due to their nanoscale size, water solubility, biocompatibility, and fluorescence properties. When functionalized, they enable both therapeutic delivery and real-time tracking in biological systems. This study focuses on the engineering of an optical system designed to cost effectively perform ex vivo spectra collection of GQDs. We utilized a bifurcated fiber optic cable connected to a laser and spectrometer, enabling simultaneous excitation and signal collection through a single optical path. Because excitation and collection occurred at the same angle rather than the conventional 90-degree configuration, a high optical density 840 nm long pass emission filter is utilized to optimize signal collection and minimize scattering. The system's cheap and easy to build design offers a streamlined method for studying nanomaterial-based therapeutics, providing a foundation for future advancements in biomedical imaging.

This study aims to educate participants about the formation and significance of grain structures in metals, focusing on the processes by which grains form and how these structures influence material properties. Using 1018 steel (low-carbon), 1080 steel (medium-carbon), ductile and grey cast iron, and PbSn (lead-tin) samples, 18 teams explored the random formation of grain structures through a series of preparatory steps, including mounting, grinding, polishing, etching, and hardness testing. Each team examined their samples at four magnifications to identify microstructural features and measure grain size using two different methods. In addition to the technical analysis, the teams focused on uncovering the artistic patterns that emerge from the randomness of grain formation. The study will highlight the art found in these naturally occurring structures, demonstrating how materials science and art intersect. By the end, participants gain an understanding of grain theory and microstructural analysis while also developing an appreciation for the unexpected artistic forms created by these random processes in materials like steel cast iron, and lead-tin alloys.

View PresentationEffective disinfection of medical surfaces is crucial in preventing healthcare-associated infections. The objective of this study was to compare two techniques for transferring bacteria, specifically Staphylococcus epidermidis, from contaminated medical surfaces to agar plates for growth assessment. The first technique involved imprinting the contaminated surface directly onto the agar plate, while the second technique utilized a sterile swab to pick up bacteria and transfer them to the agar plate. Results indicated a significantly higher percentage of bacterial transfer using the imprint technique compared to the swab technique. Consequently, the imprint technique was selected for further investigation to quantify results related to the disinfection of contaminated medical surfaces. This study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate bacterial transfer techniques for accurate assessment of surface disinfection efficacy in healthcare settings.

View PresentationThe two-microphone impedance tube test method is a well-established and widely used technique for determining the acoustic absorption coefficient and impedance ratio of materials. This method uses two closely spaced microphones to simultaneously measure the incident and reflected sound waves. A two-microphone impedance tube measurement system made of 6061-T6 Aluminum with a diameter of 3 inches, a 0.5 inch wall thickness, and microphones spaced 2.7 inches apart has been constructed for undergraduate research at Texas Christian University (TCU). These geometrical values suggest a usable frequency range of 50 Hz to 2637.77 Hz as referenced in ASTM Standard E1050-19. Validation of the system was achieved by taking measurements on Owen Corning Type 705 pressed fiberglass board with a 1-inch thickness and comparing them to absorption data provided by the manufacturer. Additional validation measurements were taken without a test sample in place. All validation tests suggest that the TCU impedance tube is an accurate measurement system.

View PresentationBacteria, the primary agents of infection in humans, are present on nearly all surfaces. To mitigate the spread of bacteria and infections, disinfectants are commonly used. This study explored the effectiveness of common disinfectants and different methods of disinfection, primarily focusing on the use of spray pumps and a transducer as a mechanism to disinfect surfaces using 70% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) or ethanol (often referred to by the brand name Lysol). Tests were conducted on bacterial lawns before incubation. The effectiveness of the tests was determined by observing bacterial growth over the next 24 hours after disinfection. Testing proved that both ethanol and 70% IPA are effective in stopping bacterial growth. While both the transducer and spray pump methods showed success, the transducer/ethanol combination was particularly efficient, using the least amount of disinfectant.

In this project, thermal oxidation characteristics on the silicon wafer will be analyzed through experiments in the clean room. The research method was conducted in the thermal oxidation furnace in the TCU Cleanroom on nine wafers with different placement orientations in the furnace and three different oxidation temperatures: 950°C, 1000°C, and 1050°C. In addition, oxide thickness measurements between different locations on the wafer were taken to investigate the film uniformity. The data analysis showed three trends: 1. oxide thickness varies across the wafers, 2. oxide thickness varies as a function of the furnace location, and 3. oxide growth rate varies as a function of furnace temperature. This project investigates how these factors impact thermal oxidation, one of the most critical steps in microfabrication

The DMD window is an important part of the packaging that protects the digital mirror array. Since the light goes through the top and bottom surfaces of the window glass twice during operation, the transmittance of the window is usually optimized for the range of wavelengths specified by the applications through optical coatings. In this research work, we will explore the effectiveness of the optical coatings for different types of glasses for window transmittance improvement in visible and near-infrared wavelengths. We will evaluate the transmittance of the existing DMD window glasses and explore ideas of improving transmittance in the NIR range without compromising the effectiveness in the visible light range. In doing so, we would be the light efficiency of the DMD in a wider wavelength range.

View PresentationThis research focuses on developing an optical metrology system to characterize the 3D refractive index profile of intraocular Lenses (IOLs) and contact lenses. Recent innovations in IOLs and contact lenses have facilitated the creation of lenses with finely controlled refractive index gradients across their surfaces, and as a result, the demand for precise metrological techniques has increased. Optical Phase Computed Tomography (OPCT) holds as a possible method for precisely characterizing these gradients. OPCT operates on the principle of the parallel ray approximation, which assumes that the rays passing through a surface remain unaltered in angle and continue parallel. OPCT has proven effective in determining the refractive index of optical fiber, this success can be attributed to the minimal deviation from parallel ray assumption of the optical fiber. This study aims to ascertain the feasibility of using OPCT for the characterization of intraocular lenses (IOLs) and contact lenses. Our approach involves replicating, through simulation, the previously studied optical fiber to determine the maximum deviation angle from the parallel ray assumption. Utilizing simulated models of IOLs and contact lenses, we investigate the repercussions of deviations from the parallel ray assumption on OPCT precision. We aim to compare these findings to the established deviation observed in fiber optic studies. This comparative analysis will offer insights into the potential applicability of OPCT for IOLs and contact lenses, allowing for further development of enhanced optical metrology techniques.

Bacteria lie on surfaces all around us, resulting in a desire to clean or disinfect them to avoid the adverse effects of bacteria. One popular method is UV-C light, which has a wavelength of 200-280 nanometers. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of UV-C lights in killing bacteria. Tests were conducted using a power sensor and bacterial lawns to determine the impacts of different variables on the effectiveness of UV-C lights. Testing measures were taken to ensure that all data was collected independently and identically. It was found that height, surface placement under UV-C lights, electrical power to lights, and reflectivity had the most significant impact on the effectiveness of the light. When optimizing these variables, it was found that with three and two lights there was a substantial bacteria kill rate once the exposure exceeded 3 seconds. This study has proven that UV-C is an effective and efficient way to kill bacteria on surfaces.

The primary objective was to immerse in the practicality of the craft, with the intent of learning the use of essential tools, the operational aspects of a forge, and further developing my knowledge of material properties of metals. In the aspect of material properties, a target was made to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of the manipulation of metal properties, utilizing heat treatment, cooling, and knowledge of metallurgical behavior.
Key milestones were set, including the acquisition of competencies in manipulating metal through heating, working, and cooling to craft rudimentary objects like hooks and nails, progressing towards more intricate creations such as knives and ornamental ironworks. The project's methodology was twofold: an investigative theoretical approach entailing the study of literature and visual resources to build a foundational knowledge base, and an empirical approach through active participation in local blacksmithing workshops.
The culmination of the project saw the successful completion of a functional coat rack and a knife forged from a railroad spike, reflecting both the learned techniques, material science, and personal creative expression. The analytical engagement with metals and forging methods paved the way for producing personalized, high-quality metalworks. The endeavor not only honed a distinctive skillset but also unveiled the potential for a post-graduate entrepreneurial venture specializing in custom-made tools and decorative arts, thereby intertwining the art of blacksmithing with contemporary business opportunities.

A power load (also known as electrical load) is any electrical device that needs to be plugged into a larger power grid to run, such as televisions and microwaves.
Different devices require different power loads to run at full efficiency and while electrical systems are capable of handling newer power loads, they are currently set to work with older ones as well. This may cause some side effects on power quality in the system. In this project, we investigate how to improve the power quality in the system caused by an inductive older load.

While metals with high electrical conductivity are expected to effectively demonstrate the operation of a Faraday cage, preliminary observations of a sealed cast iron cylinder allowing the transmission of Bluetooth signals between a smartphone and wireless earbuds across it suggested the need for further research into electromagnetic wave propagation through closed metal systems. This research utilized Bluetooth connectivity tests through sealed metal cylinders made of cast iron, aluminum, and stainless steel to analyze the working of Faraday cages, explore related material properties, and isolate possible reasons for the conflict in expected behavior when electromagnetic transmission is detected through such cages. The research methods included conducting Bluetooth connectivity tests with different cylinder orientations and analyzing the strength of the transmitted and received Bluetooth signal. The key findings of this study suggest that material properties, spatial orientation, and the strength of the electromagnetic source influence the transmission of electromagnetic waves through sealed metal cylinders. The implications of these findings suggest potential exceptions to a common electromagnetic phenomenon and provide insights for future research.

View PresentationDC to DC Conversion is important in modern electronics, and to the automotive industry. It is the process of converting a direct current (i.e constant) signal into another form of direct current (DC). A small-scale example of this is a car adapter, which converts the 12 volts provided by a car outlet into the 5 volts a cell phone needs to charge, known as a ‘step down’ converter. The main objective of the project is to design and test a bidirectional DC to DC conversion system. Most DCDC converters available on the market are unidirectional, i.e., either ‘step down’ or ‘step up’ the DC signal. Those that can switch are called bidirectional converters, but many available cannot handle the higher requirements of an electric motor. A system that can switch directions based on specific system parameters allows for situational flexibility, and the use of new devices for more efficient energy use. The supercapacitor is one such device. They provide power more efficiently than batteries but can only store a small amount of energy. They must be recharged often, which requires a step-down conversion from a power source (much like the car adapter example). Supplying the motor from supercapacitors requires a step-up conversion. So, to use, and reap the most benefit from these supercapacitors, switching from step up to step down based on their charge is a requirement. Ultimately, this would allow for the use of supercapacitors in an EV as part of a future project.
