I have been gaining a lot of weight lately and my winter wetsuit is starting to get a little too tight. It is a 5/4 xcel x-zip2.. MT. I am currently 190lbs and it is only rated to 185lbs. It is a little tight now but bearable. I am still trying to gain another 10 to 20 pounds before i max out. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem. And if you have grown out of your wetsuit, about how many lbs over the wetsuits reccomended weight limit were you before it became unbareable. I am willing to deal with a little uncomfort to avoid the cost of a new wetsuit, but if it gets to the point where its choking me out then I don't know what I'm gonna do. Any recomendations or helpful stories??? I really don't wanna push out anymore money for wetsuits!!!!!

Will my wetsuit be too tight??
Why are you trying to gain weight? My goal is always to go in the other direction and I surf way better the lighter I am. If you gain the extra 10 - 20 lbs say goodbye to comfort. I have a friend who insists that his old suit still fits and he looks like a blackberry in it.

why is there a wetsuit thread at the end of august in the heart of hurricane season???? but to answer your question there is no way that thing is gonna fit you if you put on another 10 or 20 pounds. im around 185 to 190 and i wear a large or a large tall. if i were up by 200 id be rocking an XL
Aug 24, 2011, 08:00 PM #4
i agree w/ zippy...i've always surfed better at a lighter weight. that said, i'm a big guy, 6'1" & 190lbs, & i wear a large. i could prob. go w/ a LT, but they're a bit hard to find & the larges fit me fine. when i was in college & running competitively, i was 40lbs lighter & wore a MT. i'd be shocked if you gain another 10-20lbs & can still get into that suit.
Njsurfer you are almost exactly my size 6'1" 190 lbs at best 195 lbs now after a summer of bad habits (on my way back down though). Just got 2 new excel suits and got the LT. The 3/2 fits like a second skin haven't tried on the 5/4 yet. I would stay away from bulking up if you want to surf well. I was at 205 + last year and I was tired, slow and surfing like crap. I surf better now than ever in my 30 years on the water and being in shape without the extra weight is a huge part of it.
Aug 24, 2011, 08:18 PM #6
i'm not trying to bulk up. the OP is. i'm hoping to get down to 185ish in the near future.
Aug 24, 2011, 08:25 PM #7
Zippy & NJSurfer are right on the mark. If you're bulking up, surfing is going to suffer far beyond the wetsuit. Not only that, but once you gain that kind of mass, it gets hard to lose it all. I bulked up from 195 to 225 between the ages of 36 & 39. I'm now 42 and struggling like hell to get back below 200 so I can surf small waves with less than log. Between slinging heavier arms, balancing additional weight and the tightness of your old suit, your sessions will be much shorter and in a lot of cases, very frustrating. You may be able to fit in the suit for 10 to 15 lbs above the recommended weight, but it will definately work against you. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

If anything I am more fit now then i was then.. Does it make any difference if it is almost all muscle that i am putting on??

Reports: Neymar & Messi Want EPL Star At Barca
Reports: Neymar & Lionel Messi Want Premier Star At Barcelona
FC Barcelona superstars Neymar and Lionel Messi are believed to want a Premier League midfielder to join the Catalan club.
Reports: Messi & Co Unhappy With Barca's Transfer Dealings
The Spanish club have been linked with the likes of Philippe Coutinho, Paulinho and Marco Verratti in this transfer window, but according to Diario Gol, the Argentine and Brazilian reportedly feel there is another player the club should target.
The report claims the two superstars would like to see their club go after Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli, who has come on in leaps and bounds over the last two seasons.
Alli made his senior team debut for Spurs two seasons ago, and has gone on to become one of the brightest talents in world football.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder, who has scored 32 goals and assisted 24 strikes for Spurs in 96 matches, is a full international with England and could cost Barca over £80 million (R1.3 billion).
Revealed: How Much James Will Earn At Bayern
Messi and Neymar, as well as a few other Barca players, are said to be big fans of the player, who they believe to be a perfect fit at the club.
Do you think Alli would be a good fit at Barca? Let us know in the comments section below.

Currently head of Cardiology at Ramón y Cajal Hospital in Madrid, Professor Zamorano has worked in many hospitals and has contributed extensively to national and international research and medical publications. His desire to become a doctor stems from early childhood and he has pursued his dream ever since, moving into cardiology after his qualification cum laude as doctor in medicine.
He started his cardiological career at the Department of Cardiology at the University Complutense of Madrid. It was there that he came into contact with Professor Pedro Zarco, Professor Luis Sánchez Harguindey, and Professor Carlos Macaya, who made him enthusiast for cardiology by introducing him properly to a world of knowledge, fascination and interest evolving around the heart. Professor Zamorano had found his true destiny and later went to Germany (the Department of Cardiology, University Clinic Essen, Essen, Germany) to receive specialist training in transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography.
Upon his return to Spain, he started work in the echocardiography laboratory in the University Clinic San Carlos, Madrid and became director of the lab in 1999. His ideas for the Clinic were ambitious: to be one of the best within Europe.
Together with a dedicated team, he achieved this and more, as they soon had a reputation for being innovative as well as they were one of the first to use 3D echo.
He has been actively involved in developing creating guidelines for the use of 3D echo and published extensively about this topic. In the years to come, the focus shifted to cardiac imaging where good use was made of newer techniques and devices and where many training sessions were conducted.
Another enjoyable project that Professor Zamorano undertook was working on the production of the 'Virtual Heart', an extensive collection of DVDs which depict both anatomy and physiology of the heart, as well as its pathology and treatments (see more information and a detailed view at http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo-salud/especiales/2008/01/anatomia_corazon/localizacion_anatomica/index.html).
It took 3 years to make and really was a futuristic achievement in itself at the time.
Since 2007, Zamorano is Professor of cardiology and the role he likes best is that of clinician as well as being a teacher. It is the combination that attracts him: helping patients and spreading and developing knowledge in young doctors. He strongly feels that it is about bringing them forward, by helping them and paving the way for new directions and lines of interest to expand knowledge in general and bringing it to a higher level. This might also include undertaking projects that may not be successful in the end. Even so, one should therefore not forsake them as they one way or another, these experiences will be valuable and young doctors will definitely learn from these projects.
Professor Zamorano is still amazed by the development of invasive cardiology and more particular, the possibility of intervening in the working heart without actually opening the chest and sees this is as one, if not the most promising development in cardiology in recent years.
Better outcomes for patients are the ultimate goal which is why he feels strongly about combining cardiovascular risk factors with imaging to better assess the real risks. Improvements can be achieved on stratifying risks in which cardiovascular imaging is essential.
Professionally, he is most proud of his time as President of the European Association of Echocardiography and the General Secretary of the European Society of Cardiology. In everyday life, it is his team at the University Hospital which fills him with pride. Despite being a busy man, Professor Zamorano likes to play golf in his spare time.
He likes to spend time with his family which he credits as being 'incredible'. His wife also works as a physician, and he has three children who he regards as his best achievements. There are two sons, one of which works at KPMG and the other is just finishing his studies to be an industrial engineer and his daughter – keen to follow in her father's footsteps – is now in her second year. She is studying medicine at the University of Madrid, Spain.

Oh no when I woke up this morning I wasn't feeling well and
Then when I looked in front of my mirror I got so stressed
What did I look but that my whole hair was just standing
On ends and that it was in a whole mess, and I was depressed.
Why did this had to happen to me
I haven't done anything wrong anyway
But just went to sleep for a few hours and
Now I am just having a very bad hair day.
Oh please someone just hurry and help me
A little bit, because i dont really know what to do
My hair is in such a bad shape that not even all
Those fancy gel and mousse can help and I am in a stew.
My hair is standing all on edge, and is all dried up and have frizz
And every strand of hair is out of place, and is all tangled up there today,
That not even my comb can run through in there and most of its teeth
Just broke off and now I am about to cry because I'm having a bad hair day!

Food & Agriculture / According to a study done by the Rocky Mountain Institute, beef consumers in the islands eat upwards of 250,000 whole beef cows annually. Hawaii Department of Agriculture reports that all but 11,000 cows come from somewhere else.
It's not that Hawaii can't raise cattle; it's been a viable industry for 175 years, and ranchers currently tend an estimated 150,000 head. The bigger problem is getting the animals from field to table in a state with a dearth of slaughterhouses.
That's why folks in the "ag protein community" were concerned to learn that Times and Foodland, responding to pressure from WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) would no longer buy pork from pigs shipped live to Hawaii. The Sept. 20 announcement cast a pall over the future of The Hawaii Livestock Cooperative slaughterhouse– Oahu's sole large scale, multi-purpose slaughterhouse, a privately owned cooperative that continues to struggle financially, despite a recent $750,000 subsidy from the state.
"That slaughterhouse sort of rises and falls with pork, because Honolulu is the biggest market for hot [freshly slaughtered] pork," says Bill Spitz, agricultural specialist for Kauai County. According to Spitz, about 80 percent of the slaughterhouse's business is in hogs.
Because Kauai is the only island raising pigs in any number, the meat pretty much stays there. And according to Spitz, Hawaii's pig farmers aren't even close to meeting local demand. The problem stems from imported grain prices which make it increasingly difficult to compete with the price of mainland raised pigs. Also, because of land incompatibility issues, especially on Oahu, it's financially a challenge for piggeries to operate here.
So to satisfy Honolulu demand, pigs are shipped live from the mainland, a practice that upset activists who felt the animals suffered on the ocean journey. On the other hand, some 50,000 calves are shipped out of state each year, says Herbert "Tim" Richards III, president of the Hawaii Cattleman's Council. "Ranchers would love to keep a lot more cattle here to finish them and sell to the local market," he says.
That's what they used to do, up through World War II. But as consumers began demanding the tender, fat-marbled flesh of grain-finished beef, Island ranchers started shipping their calves to mainland feed lots. "At the time, it made more sense to ship off a 400-pound animal than bring in the grain to finish them here," Richards says.
Hawaii ranchers also couldn't compete with the economies of scale achieved by mainland slaughterhouses, some of which kill 8,000 animals per day, Richards says.
While the confined animal industry was initially developed to provide beef year-round on a continent where pastures are often covered with snow, "it's evolved into something very different," Richards says.
Adding to the challenge, shipping costs are rising and consumer tastes are changing, driven by concerns about high-fat diets–grass-fed beef is considerably leaner than grain-finished–and a growing movement to consume locally-produced food.
"There's been a real awakening for the desire for beef that's grass-finished, forage-finished, and Hawaii has the ability to capitalize on that," Richards says. "That is the desire, and we've been working on this diligently for the last four to five years."
The efforts by Hawaii Cattleman's Council are multi-pronged, focusing on consumer education, marketing and such pioneering concepts as using pasture lands more cooperatively so animals have access to the forage best-suited for the various stages of their lives. "All grass is not created equal," Richard says. "Some is better for cows with calves, some is better for finishing."
The Maui Cattle Co. has also been looking into breeding smaller animals, which do better on forage. In the end, though, the big bottleneck is slaughterhouse capacity. Most of the facilities in Hawaii are small and old, supplying mostly small, local markets with beef that is, as one label proclaims, "born, raised and slaughtered" on the Islands.
Processing includes not just killing, but aging, which results in tender beef, and butchering, which turns the meat into the cuts familiar to consumers. The industry has been looking into various options, including centralized facilities and mobile slaughterhouses that go out to the ranches.
A combination of approaches likely will be needed, ranchers agree, with each island doing its own thing. And that's where the Oahu slaughterhouse, with its current emphasis on imported pigs, comes in.
"Processing plants are expensive and regulations are strict." Richardson says. "If we don't have this critical mass going through these houses we can't achieve the economies of scale to make them viable."
Both Richards and Spitz agreed that slaughterhouses probably will need to be subsidized for a time while ranchers make the shift from exporting their cattle to processing the meat locally. "If we as a society don't choose to make ag a priority, we're gonna lose it," Richard says. "If people are actually gonna be serious about sustainability, the first thing they would do is buy good local meat where they can find it, and that would encourage the ranchers to keep their animals here," Spitz added. "We could eat every animal we ship off now, and we would still need to bring in about an equal number."

THE largest coach operator in the country has treated Heyshott charity Canine Partners to a specially-commissioned bus.
As part of the ongoing partnership between National Express and Canine Partners, staff at the charity had a unique opportunity to welcome a specially-commissioned coach to their headquarters in Heyshott.
The coach, bearing the organisation's trademark purple plus adorable images of its puppies, arrived at the training centre in the morning and was greeted by staff and dogs, as well as former Royal Marine Jon Flint and his canine partner Varick.
The partnership will benefit volunteers who look after the charity's puppies for the first year of their training, making them eligible to travel free with their pup to and from any National Express stops across the UK.
This gives vital public transport training for the puppies, allowing them a chance to experience coach and bus travel at an early age.
National Express has also set up a Canine Partners' donation tab on its website.

A high school intended for juvenile offenders transitioning out of the criminal justice system and into mainstream society is making some Inner Sunset neighbors nervous.
Most of the 50 former juvenile offenders who attend Principal Center Collaborative near 43rd Avenue and Judah Street already pass through the Inner Sunset neighborhood, where the former Newcomer High School campus on 7th Avenue will house the juvenile offenders in the spring 2012 semester, according to the San Francisco Examiner.
But having students with a criminal history on the N-Judah Muni metro line is one thing; having them in the neighborhood is another, according to the co-president of a neighborhood group.
"A school housing juvenile offenders is stressful and has implied risk," said Al Minvielle, co-president of the Inner Sunset Park neighbors, who said that "someone [needs] to be held accountable" if the students cause mischief or other grief among their new neighbors.
Among the demands by neighbors are escorts for the students to and from public transportation, the installation of security cameras, and a promise that the school will keep its 3-to-1 student-teacher ratio.
Fears are running high, the newspaper reported, because of 1995 incident in which a volunteer teacher from an Inner Sunset alternative high school was arrested on suspicion of tagging up to 60 homes.
"They're coming in to my neighborhood," Minvielle said. "Here are my concerns if they go the way I'm fearful. I want some recourse if they go that way. If they don't, then I applaud their success."
Most of the Principal Center Collaborative students attend the school due to a court order. The Inner Sunset campus, to be renamed Big Picture, will instruct both students on probation and at-risk youth who choose to attend.

"which is no different then any country that ever existed since the beggining of man."
so that makes it ok? Yes throughout history everyone did that, but no one ever learns from it, they probably came up with the same excuse you just gave me.
Plus, if you plan to go with one side in a conflict then you should face the consequences when the other side still holds a grudge.
Here is a situation:
A country is at civil war. Instead of supporting the 'right' side and making the 'wrong' side even angrier why not help in other ways? Support the innocent civillians, build hospitals, send food and clothing. And stop any dealing with the two sides. Ignore them untill they realize what they are doing is not accepted in the world-wide society. There are many ways to help in conflicts than just sending an army and forcing a peace, because it does not always work. This would cutdown on breeding terrorism atleast.

CommonSenseMedia's Review of The LEGO Batman Movie

Parents need to know that, like 2014's The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie is clever, creative, and funny, with nonstop action. It's a little darker/edgier than its predecessor -- there are tons of bad guys, battles, explosions, bombs, weapons, destruction, and general mayhem. But because it's all made out of Legos, there's zero gore, and very little is permanently damaged (lots of things are put back together in a literal snap). Still, the main characters are constantly in peril, which could upset some younger/more sensitive kids, and one key character momentarily seems headed for a more serious end. Words like "butt," "loser," and "sucks" are used, and there's a little flirting, plus humor related to Dick/Robin's preference to go without pants when wearing his costume -- but nothing gets too risque. Batman is forced to give himself a pretty hard look over the course of the movie, eventually realizing that he can't do everything by himself and that working with a team/having a family is more fun and fulfilling than going it alone (no matter how awesome your pecs are). As with all Lego movies, shows, and games, it also serves as a feature-length toy ad -- but you may not care, you'll be laughing so hard.Click for more ratings and availability

Learn about using smart objects created in Illustrator and taking them into Photoshop and then Dreamweaver.
7 Comments
I am kind of disappointed since this feature introduced. Of-course it is good to have this kind of feature and pretty sure alot of user liked it very much. But what I discovered is this smart object is not smart enough. Why?
Because it never stay vector art at the time of output, even though smart object is illustrator file. should be like Vector mask. I don't know why Adobe don't pay attention to this issue.
can we download the tutorial videos in this site ??
If can, tell me how !!!
Hoping someone can help!
I would prefer to slice from illustrator to dreamweaver, does this make sense or will I run into problems.
Why does everbody prefer PS to Dw?
Excellent tutorial!! Thanks.
Can it be done in CS3? I tried to bring the .PSD into Dreamweaver and it wont bring it as a smart object making it unable to resink with changes. Not sure what I am missing.
Any duidance will be highly appreciated.
Hey Very Nice Tutorial! Thanks a bunch.
One Question,
I am trying to insert and overlay 3 smart object layers from Photoshop into Dreamweaver cs5. when I right clicked the layer in photoshop and exported it so that it had it's separate .psd file everything worked flawless. But then when I tried to insert it into Dreamweaver as an image…Dreamweaver refused to recognize the .psd layer as an acceptable image file. Why is this?
My goal is to have the entire photoshop file with all its separate layers as individual div tags…having them all be smart objects so they all sync when edited. Is this stupid? Is their an easier way?
Thanks so much in advance!

a wattmeter wills et you back about $50, and if you want to get max performance, its the way to go.
Ive never used one on the other hand. I only use tried and true setups. I know appoximatly how many amps each of my planes draws because other people with wattmeters have posted them on the net. If you look around, you should be able to find something for just about any motor/prop combo (assuming its workable, you probably wont find data on a 12x6 prop for your motor)
Ok..dropped the Y and went to dual ailerons with proper differential. BIG difference. Much more controllable, and the "balloon up" problem when banking is MUCH better. I still have to play with the throws, and set at suggested in manual doesn't allow it to roll what so ever, but this was certainly the right fix for the balloon problem.
I'm thinking the 370 motor with the 8040 prop is far from enough power to make this anywhere close to sporty. Thinking I may step up to a park 450 and try a 10" prop. I want to say that I believe no matter what I do this will never be a fast sporty flyer, but someone posted a video of this thing on floats, and they were tearing it up. Clearly it can be done.
Rolling still isn't that great; the speed has to be up, and I still have to use a good bit of down elevator as it goes inverted to keep it from dropping into a dive. Have been procrastinating on increasing the throws because they're just right for everything else, but really need to do that.
I'm not interested in sport flying with this plane so I plan to set up all my controls per the manual and just fly it for fun. Maybe I can do a barrel roll with it?
I have a Tower Pro 2408-21T brushless motor (1400 kv) with a 10 x 6 folding prop on this MiniMag but I have no clue as to whether that's a good combination or what. It seemed to have enough power even with a 2S battery. (recommendations for best prop for this motor/plane would be much appreciated)
The last crash messed up the motor mount quite badly so I need to do some re-constructive surgery and come up with a motor mount that allows me to install the motor inside the fuselage. I had the motor bolted on to the front of the motor mounting plate. That plus the folding prop my "friend" put on it not only didn't look good but was an invitation to breakage on any but a slow level landing.
I DO want to get it repaired and fly it with rudder, aileron and elevator as a trainer, but it doesn't have to be sporty.
I'm sure y'all know that I built up a second MiniMag which I will NOT add ailerons to. It is flying very nicely with the Multiplex brushless upgrade package (Himax 2815-2000 outrunner with APC 5.5 x 4.5 prop and 17A ESC. It's very quiet, tame as a kitten and a lot of fun to fly with only a 2S battery.
Anyone have dimensions for floats? Mounting Suggestions?
Owned the MM for nearly a year. Only have 25 flights on it so far as it wasn't built until this spring.
Running a:
Mega 16/15/5 1800KV motor
APC 6x5.5 prop
CC Thunderbird 36A ESC
5 - 3s packs. 1000mAh 1300mAh(2) 2100mAh and a 2200mAh pack. Enjoy each one.
MPX servos in the tail
HS-55's in the wings
Running an AR8000 RX. Way overkill in this bird.
Programmed Differential and aggressive spoilerons. Aileron differential makes more of a subtle difference to me. Spoilerons make a huge difference and allow me to land in much less distance by pushing the plane down.
Flies casually very well. Rolls do need speed and are not all that axial for me. Inverted flight seems OK. Elevator is needed to keep it from dropping out of the sky.It will loop well. This is about as far as I push mine.
Now to the unfortunate part:
While looking around for floats, I have come to realize about a week or two ago that the MM is discontinued. Can not find floats anywhere local to get them quickly.
I wouldn't mind making up a simple set just for a few weekends at the lake. If anyone has a stock MM set of floats they have measured, I'm curious to see if my dimensions are close. (length, width, height, length to step, ect)
I'm also very interested in seeing how exactly they mount to the plane. If there is a challenge this would be it. I'd like to keep the main landing gear, just pull the wheels off. What would be best for the rear?

Hi all,
i plane to make a fpv plateforme with my minimag.
I think i need more thrust to put evrything in the air : gps, osd, cam etc...
I have the bl-o 2830 1000 kv motor from multiplex, and i think i should put on a bigger prop...
Can you tell me what size of prop i can put on : 10:5 or 11:5 for exemple ?
I want to put 4s lipo, as it is possible with this motor, according to the motor manual spec.
I also ordered the Multiplex Brushless Motor Power Pack, three wing sets, an undercarraige set, a small parts set plus a complete second RR plane. I like this plane a lot and I wanted spare parts.
Last edited by fotoflyer; Jul 30, 2012 at 08:47 AM. Reason: edit wording
Thanks. My only concern with online ordering, is they may not be here with in 4 days. I can throw something together quite easily(may be a fun mini project) for the weekend and if they don't work out I'll order a set. Tower has them in stock and they usually put limited quantities if they are about to sell out.
Should I........?
Should I get myself a Minimag ?
My much loved, aileron equipped, Graupner Terry S died over the weekend after experiencing a high speed impact with a tree branch followed by terra firma. All my own fault needless to say.
Now, while the airframe is more or less smashed beyond repair, the good news is that, apart from the motor, the rest of the electronics are ok.
So, I have 4x9g servos, Spektrum Rx, 20A esc, available for a replacement plane. In addition I have two 3S 1800mah lipos and one 3S 1500 lipo looking for a home.
After a little research it would seem that the gear I have available would be pretty much ideal for a Minimag - please correct me if I'm wrong. The only other purchase necessary with the kit being a suitable motor/prop combo. Therefore I could be in the air for a grand total of about 80-90 Euros.
I do have other models but the Minimag would fit the gap in terms of size, portability and convenience left by the demise of the Terry. In that:
Once built, the wings can stay attached to the fuselage for both storage and transport. At the field, simply connect the lipo and fly with no faffing about.
Stable enough for gentle relaxed flying but capable of basic acros with suitable set up.
Answers to my question gratefully recieved from Minimag flyers worldwide.
My personal preference for this plane is a motor around 1100 kv, 50g mass, swinging a 8x5 prop.
I thought I was reasonably well sorted and the Minimag's broad flight characteristics are just what I'm looking for as a general sport flyer.
My LHS has a motor available which I was considering. 1000 kv, 47g, rec prop on 3S = 9x5.
Well, I went ahead and ordered the Minimag as my LHS didn't have one in stock.
Now, I have to sit back and wait for I don't know how long. The whole of the country virtually grinds to a standstill throughout August as everyone takes their summer holidays, Despite the financial mess this country is in.
Anyway, some time soon I will be a member of the Minimag owners club and looking forward to it.

ME-01 Dynamic Modeling And Optimal Control Of Continuous Flow Microbial Fuel Cells
Authors: Ali Abul; Xiaobo Tan
Abstract: Even though there are many parameters affecting the power output of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in certain systems, batch or continuous flow, in this work we focus on the effect of substrate flow rate on the voltage output. First, a dynamic model is presented for a continuous flow membraneless MFC. This model includes the substrate consumption dynamics based on Monod kinetics. The input for the control model is the dilution rate while the output is voltage output. The voltage output is written in terms of state variables, which are the substrate consumption and the biomass production. Such a model will facilitate the analysis and optimal control of the MFC. We will also describe our ongoing effort in building an MFC prototype, which will be used in experimental validation of the modeling and control approaches.
ME-02 Dynamics Of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines
Authors: Gizem Acar; Brian F. Feeny
Abstract: The aim of this project is to deepen our understanding in horizontal axis wind turbine dynamics. Wind turbines are under dynamic loading due to varying wind speed, cyclic changes in tangential and normal components of gravitational force, and tower shadowing. These dynamic loadings may contribute to failures. To find the loading on the rotor and the gearbox, the parts that are most susceptible to failure, blade dynamics are investigated first. A pre-twisted beam with a varying cross-section is used to model the blades. The beam is assumed to be under bend-bend-twist coupled deformation. To find the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of the blade, energy methods are used. First, potential and kinetic energy expressions are formulated. Then, using an assumed modes method, energies are expressed in terms of generalized assumed modal coordinates. Applying Lagrange's method, the equations of motion for a single blade are found. A modal analysis is then performed on the linearized equations to find the natural frequencies and the mode shapes. The method is applied to existing turbine blades, and the results are found to be consistent with those provided in the literature. The next stage of the project involves the dynamics of three blades coupled through the rotor. Parametric excitation due to gravity and the centrifugal effects are to be investigated.

ME-03 Dispersion Relationship Using Complex Decomposition Methods
Authors: Rickey Alfred Caldwell, Jr.; Brian Feeny
Abstract: Understanding traveling waves is important in structural mechanics, geophysics, biomedicine, and material science. The goal of this research is to extract the parameters of traveling waves propagating in one direction through an elastic beam. A harmonic traveling wave has the form y(x,t) = sin(kx - wt), where k and w are the wavenumber (rad/m) and frequency (rad/s). A semi-infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam is realized in the laboratory using a thin beam suspended at one end by an elastic cord, and buried in sand at the other. The sand absorbs the waves and arrests reflections to the extent that they were not detectable. The beam was sensed with evenly spaced accelerometers along the centerline of the unburied portion of the beam. An impact at the free end generated waves with components at multiple frequencies. As the waves traveled down the beam the higher frequency waves traveled at a higher velocity as predicated by the dispersion relationship w = a k^2, where a = (EI/(rho A))^(1/2), where E, I, A, and rho are the Young's modulus, area moment of inertia, area, and density of the material and its cross section. Three complex decomposition methods were applied to extract the dispersion relationship. The complex orthogonal decomposition (COD) extracted complex wave modes, from which wave numbers were estimated, and the associated modal strength. Modal coordinates were computed to obtain frequency information. Smooth complex orthogonal decomposition (SCOD) extracted complex wave modes, from which wave numbers were estimated, and the modal frequencies. A spatial smooth complex orthogonal decomposition (SCODx) is in development. From the extracted information, the parameter a was estimated as 6.44 m^2/s from COD and 6.72 from SCOD, compared to the theoretical value from the model of a = 6.55 m^2/s. An estimate from SCODx is forthcoming.
ME-04 Multiscale Analysis Of Micro-Scale Stresses At The Laminate Free Edge And Influence Of The Interlaminar Microstructure
Authors: Christopher Cater; Xinran Xiao; Robert K. Goldberg
Abstract: In composite laminates, the property mismatches between plies of varying orientations results in stress gradients at the free edges of the composites and are a significant driver of delamination failure. The free edge effect has been well understood at the laminate or meso-scale. The influence of the microstructure on free edge cracking, however, is less known. A two-scale multiscale finite element (FE) approach was utilized to model the micro-scale stresses near the laminate free edge. An IM7/8552 carbon fiber composite with a laminate stacking of [25/-25/90]S, known to be vulnerable to free edge initiated failure, was investigated. Two free edge investigations were performed using the multiscale approach. First, the influence of the micro-scale interlaminar thickness between 90 degree plies on the formation of pre-cracking during manufacturing, as a result of thermal free edge stresses, was explored. The results found a correlation between matrix rich interlaminar regions and higher free edge micro-scale stresses. Second, an investigation of mechanical tensile loading on the composite at the 90 degree ply interfaces found the local free edge micro-scale stresses were not strongly influenced by interlaminar thickness. The conclusions from the analysis are supported by experimental evidence from literature which found higher pre-cracking at 90 ply interfaces and relative insensitivity of pre-cracks to the development of transverse cracks.

ME-05 Improving Structural Integrity With Boron-Based Additives For 3D Printed 420 Stainless Steel
Authors: Truong Do; Shenli Pei; Aleksandr Vartanian; Patrick Kwon
Abstract: This study explores the possibility of attaining fully dense stainless steel (SS) 420 parts with a powder-based 3D printing (3DP) method by sintering, instead of following the standard protocol of bronze infiltration. Possible ingredients that can be added to improve the densification are explored, as a small addition of ingredients (sintering aids) enhances densification and improves the final structural integrity of a metal base powder. Boron based sintering aids, Boron (B), Boron Nitride (BN) and Boron Carbide (B4C), were experimented in this study. The contents of each sintering aid ranging between 0 wt% to 1.5 wt% was added to the SS420 powder with an average powder size of 30μm. Parts produced by powder-based 3DP were sintered at various temperatures between 1150°C to 1350°C. Each sintered sample was analyzed in terms of the final density attained, the amount of ingredient mixed, the sintering temperature and the distortion after sintering. Samples with 0.5 wt% B sintered at 1350°C for 6 hours yielded 93% relative density and also retained a minimum distortion. Additionally, the study further explored the possibility of mixing two different particle sizes of SS420 power (~30μm and ~6μm) with the sintering aids in order to further increase the density attained.
ME-06 Identification And Comparison Of Finger Forces Over Ranges Of Motions Between Healthy And Reduced Hand Functionality Participants
Authors: Joshua Drost; Sam Leitkam; Tamara Reid Bush
Abstract: Diagnosing the amount of hand function lost due to injury, arthritis, or nerve damage is currently task-based and subjective to the clinician. Recently, work has modeled the differences in kinematic finger space between hands with and without reduced functionality due to arthritis; however, the forces that each finger can produce at each posture are not included in this kinematic model. Both motion and forces associated with each finger posture are necessary to generate a comprehensive hand model for clinical use. The goal of this work was to map forces associated with the index finger at different positions and orientations within the kinematic fingertip workspace of participants with and without reduced hand functionality.Twelve participants without any reported injury or arthritis, termed "Healthy", and fifteen participants with doctor diagnosed arthritis, termed "Arthritic", were included in this study. In-plane tests (no adduction or abduction of the finger) measured force differences related to flexion and extension and out-of-plane tests measured force differences related to abduction/adduction. Using a two-way ANOVA, several significant differences were identified in the finger forces. Overall, the forces of Arthritic participants were less than those of Healthy participants. In both groups, maximum forces were lower with abduction (left) and increased with adduction (right). Also, models overlaying these force data with the kinematic space were successfully developed. With the combination of motions and forces, subject specific models will be robust tools for clinical assessment of the hand and fingers.
ME-07 Comparing The Flexural Modulus Of High Modulus Carbon Fibers In Randomly Oriented Thermoplastic Composites
Authors: Martin Ducote; Alfred Loos
Abstract: The objective of this investigation was to compare the flexural properties of high-modulus carbon fiber in two different thermoplastic composite systems. With increased pressure from government regulations and consumers to create lighter, more fuel-efficient cars, the automotive industry has long been looking toward composite materials. Thermoplastics offer the strength and toughness required for many applications as well as the promise of reduced cycle times over thermosetting resins. In this study, a papermaking process was used to randomly and uniformly disperse matrix and reinforcement fibers in a non-woven, fabric-like mat, which could then be molded into square composite panels. Multiple composite systems were created, pairing a high-modulus carbon fiber along with a thermoplastic Nylon 6,6 or PEEK to produce the composite plates at different fiber volume fractions. Test blanks were then cut from these panels and subjected to visual inspection and flexural strength testing. Insights were then drawn from the comparisons giving specific attention to fiber-matrix bonding and overall strength properties. As a secondary objective, this papermaking process was evaluated as a viable production method for consistent, randomly oriented composite material.
ME-08 Experiments And Modeling Of A Controlled Turbulent Jet Ignition System For Internal Combustion Engine
Authors: Masumeh Gholamisheeri; Gerald Gentz; Elisa Toulson
Abstract: Pre-chamber combustion systems are advanced ignition systems which are under investigation in order to replace current automotive ignition systems. In the last several decades various pre-chamber combustion systems have been produced and investigated to increase efficiency and reduce pollutants through lean, low temperature combustion. Turbulent jet ignition (TJI) is composed of a pre-chamber and a main chamber connected with a single/multiple orifice(s). The combustion occurs first in the pre-chamber where the fuel injector and the spark plug are located and then is directed into the main chamber via the orifice. Orifice geometry is critical as it determines the mixing quality of the air-fuel mixture and the turbulent structures generated in the main chamber. Hence, it has a great influence on the quality of combustion and flame propagation. The main focus of the present research is to investigate the performance of TJI system both numerically and experimentally by changing a range of various parameters such as nozzle shape and the number of injectors (fuel, air or both) in the pre-chamber. Investigation of the effectiveness of alternative fuels, such as propane, on efficiency and lean limit extension is another priority. Generally, it was found that the jet ignition system provides faster burn rates due to the distributed ignition sites and higher level of dilution (lean burn). In addition, jet ignition systems also enable higher compression ratio and higher engine efficiency compared to SI engines.
ME-09 Influence Of An Asymmetric Trajectory On The Forces And Flow Structure Of An Airfoil Pitching At High Reduced Frequency
Authors: P. Hammer; A. Naguib; M. Koochesfahani
Abstract: Previous experimental work has shown that non-sinusoidal oscillation of a pitching airfoil can greatly alter the vortical flow structure in the wake. The current study focuses on characterizing the corresponding changes in the resulting loads on the airfoil and how they might be connected to the wake structure. High-order computations are carried out using the FDL3DI solver developed at the Air Force Research Laboratory. It is observed that the introduction of asymmetry produces a non-zero average lift. However, the behavior of the average lift depends strongly on both the amount of asymmetry and the pitching reduced frequency. Decomposition of the lift shows that the average lift comes primarily from the vortex lift component. It is found vortex lift generated during the pitch-down increases in relation to the pitch-up vortex lift as the reduced frequency increases.

ME-10 Design And Development Of A Wirelessly Charged Robotic Fish
Authors: Hussein Hasan; Xiaobo Tan
Abstract: In the past two decades, robotic fish have received significant interest due to their various perceived applications. Designing robotic fish is a very challenging task, partly due to the delicate need of waterproofing. In addition, one needs to optimize the hydrodynamic performance while accommodating the constraints on size, cost, and feasibility of manufacturing. In this work a robotic fish with wireless charging capability is designed and prototyped. The robot is equipped with wireless communication for data transmission and remote control. Integrated on this robot are inertia measurement unit (IMU), temperature sensor, and power measurement unit. The body is 3D-printed and propelled by a pair of pectoral fins and a caudal fin, all actuated with servomotors. The developed robotic fish will be used for research on modeling and control of robotic fish, as well as for education and outreach including museum exhibits.

ME-11 Numerical Simulation Of A Charged Particle In A Charged Rotating Tubular Membrane
Authors: Sina Jahangiri Mamouri; Volodymyr V. Tarabara; André Bénard
Abstract: Cross flow filtration (CFF) is a common membrane separation process which has broad applications in food industry, biotechnology, chemical industry and recycling technologies. For instance, membranes are widely used for liquid-liquid separation processes such as oil-water separation. However, a major challenge in this method of separation is fouling. It can dramatically decrease the permeate flux and therefore shorten the membrane life and its efficiency. Membrane fouling can be treated by increasing the shear on the membrane's surface. In this regard, induction of swirl in a stationary membrane was shown to be significantly beneficial. Another treatment to improve membrane efficiency, is to repel droplets/particles from the surface of membrane using a repulsive electric force. For this purpose, the surface of the membrane is coated with Polyelectrolyte Multilayers (PEM) with a surface potential, and droplets/particles are induced to have the same electric charge. Polyelectrolyte multilayers are thin films manufactured by layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition, which can maintain a charged surface with a small uncertainty. In this work, a numerical simulation of motion of a charged solid droplet within an axially rotating charged tubular membrane is investigated. The particle and the inner surface of the tubular membrane are assumed to be positively charged. It is expected that the increase in the shear stress due to the rotation of membrane on one hand, and the repelling force between the charged membrane and the particle on the other hand, improve the separation efficiency of the membrane.
ME-12 The Effect Of Temperature On The Tensile Deformation Behavior Of A Beta Titanium Alloy, An In-Situ SEM Study
Authors: Vahid Khademi; Carl J. Boehlert
Abstract: Beta titanium alloys are becoming more and more attractive for medical and structural applications due to their good formability, high strength, and good fracture toughness. However, some beta alloys tend to exhibit microstructural instabilities and transformations at intermediate temperatures. In this study, rolled sheets of Ti-13Cr-1Fe-3Al, which is a low-cost B-type alloy, were studied. In-situ SEM tensile tests were conducted to investigate the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior between room temperature and 450 C. Electron Backscatter Diffraction and slip trace analysis showed that the active slip systems at RT and 200 C had relatively high Schmid factors. However, at 400 and 450 C, this trend was not observed. This was due to the omega-phase transformation which will be discussed. Overall, this work highlights the stability of this alloy at intermediate temperatures along with the deformation mechanisms as a function of temperature and microstructure.
ME-13 Asymmetric Post-Flutter Oscillations Of A Cantilever Due To A Dynamic Follower Force
Authors: Vahid Zamani; Ehsan Kharazmi; Ranjan Mukherjee
Abstract: For elastic systems with an end-load, instability can occur through divergence or flutter. The type of instability depends on the load. When the load is conservative, instability can occur through divergence whereas for non-conservative load, flutter instability can occur. Follower force is a common example of a non-conservative end load. It has been shown in the literature that for the case of follower force, increasing the load above a critical value can make the system unstable through flutter. In this study, the behavior of a cantilever beam subjected to a follower force has been investigated where the direction of the force follows the slope of the tip of the beam and the magnitude of the force is comprised of "static" and "dynamic" terms. The "static" term is a constant term and the "dynamic" term is a term that varies linearly with the slope of the tip of the beam. The Ritz-Galerkin method is used to obtain a finite degree-of-freedom model of the system; this model has a quadratic nonlinearity due to the slope-dependent magnitude of the follower force. After introducing modal damping, the dynamics of the system is investigated using the method of multiple scales. Our results, which are verified through numerical simulations, indicate that in the presence of damping, stability is maintained for a follower force of constant magnitude larger than the critical load. More importantly, the addition of the slope-dependent term in the magnitude of the follower force does not cause instability; instead, it results in asymmetric oscillations. Such behavior of the cantilever is expected due to the asymmetric nature of the force.
ME-14 Experimental Method To Quantify Residual Limb Displacement Within A Prosthetic Socket
Authors: Amy L. Lenz; Katie A. Johnson; Tamara Reid Bush
Abstract: In prosthetics, many clinical practices are subjective in nature. When an amputee presents with a pressure ulcer on their residual limb the exact cause or etiology is often unknown. Previous research has attempted to address bone motion relative to the socket because assessing tissue motion is difficult to capture due to the opaque nature of the device. The current research study presents the development of a novel method to measure residual limb motion beneath the surface of a prosthetic socket using motion capture technology. Twenty-two retro-reflective thin-disc markers were placed beneath a clear transparent test socket. Using a 12 camera Vicon system, the location of all 22 markers was recorded relative to markers placed on the outside of the socket and pylon. Data collection included a test setup with a replica of a patient's leg interfaced with a standard gel liner pin suspension system. Distances between markers were measured with a digital caliper. These values were compared to the inter marker distances captured with the motion capture system when the residual limb replica was placed into the test socket. Dynamic trials were then collected of by vertically displacing the limb and capturing marker movement patterns relative to the device. Results of inter marker distances (+/- 0.25mm) were within error tolerances of the motion analysis system, confirming the ability to accurately capture limb motion within a socket. These results encourage this novel methodology to be applied to amputee patients during walking to empirically assess the distribution of deformation within the socket.
ME-15 Modeling To Predict Micro-Scale Permeability For Fiber Reinforcement In Liquid Composite Molding
Authors: Timothy Luchini; Stephen Sommerlot; Alfred Loos
Abstract: In liquid composite manufacturing, permeability is the driving process parameter for mold fills and is critical for understanding the infusion flow and pressure distribution that results. Permeability has been identified as a complex variable which can vary significantly in magnitude for similar test cases. Permeability has also been isolated at different levels because of the multi-scale nature of composite fiber reinforcement. In the micro-scale, fibers are formed into randomly aligned tows composed of thousands of fibers. A second scale, the meso-scale, considers the tow dimensions and weave parameters, but inputs a Darcy based permeability to make up for physical geometry variations. On the micro-scale, fibers are generally considered as ordered in some kind of idealized packing arrangement, for example hexagonal or square packing. This is not always realistic and defining permeability as a function of porosity alone may not be enough to achieve an accurate permeability prediction on the micro-scale. Here, we isolate the micro-scale structures of unidirectional fiber reinforcements and investigate flows across aligned fiber geometries and infusion characteristics during manufacturing. Reduced geometries are utilized to represent the fiber and matrix interactions during a liquid infusion and periodic boundary conditions are applied. The overarching goal of this research is to use numerical tools to create better understanding of composite manufacturing processes. A systematic computational approach will be utilized to understand how material packing changes the fluid flow regime during composite manufacturing, helping to select appropriate infusion parameters to produce a finished part with good properties. This approach incorporates a numerical modelling procedure to predict unidirectional permeability on the micro-scale. The results set up a baseline that compares well with analytical models as a function of fiber diameter and volume fraction. The ability of this numerical procedure goes above current analytical models because, in the future, it can take various fiber diameters, fiber count, random packing arrangements, and flow rates into account. Specific areas that analytical models lack could be investigated like the effects of a fabric that incorporates both fiberglass and carbon fiber elements. Results show that variations due to fiber packing can be identified independently of fiber volume fraction.

ME-16 Stretchable Luminescent Films Of Silicon Nanocrystals
Authors: Rajib Mandal; Naomi Carlisle; Michael Bigelow; Rebecca Anthony
Abstract: Nanocrystalline silicon is widely known as an efficient and tunable optical emitter and is attracting great interest for applications such as light-emitting devices. To date, however, luminescent silicon nanocrys-tals have been used exclusively in traditional rigid devices. There is a need to investigate whether these nanocrystals can be used in flexible and stretchable devices. Here we present a study on how the optical and structural/morphological properties of plasma-synthesized silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) change when they are deposited on stretchable substrates made from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The silicon nanocrystal synthesis was performed in a nonthermal, low-pressure gas phase plasma reactor. Silicon nanocrystals were deposited directly out of the plasma into thin-film layers using inertial impaction through a slit-shaped orifice. The PDMS substrates were either relaxed or pre-stretched to several different percentages of their original length ("stretching ratio") prior to deposition. The morphologies of films deposited on both PDMS substrates and on rigid silicon wafer sub-strates were studied using SEM. Si NC Films deposited on PDMS substrates have significantly different morphology as compared to films deposited on silicon substrates. The reason behind this morphological difference is still under investigation, but is likely attributed to the difference in elastic properties of the PDMS as compared to silicon. We also measured the photoluminescence (PL) properties of Si NCs deposited on pre-stretched PDMS substrates depending on stretching ratio. Between unstretched PDMS and PDMS stretched 40% beyond its original length, the PL peak is adjusted by 80 nm. We will also present results on how the PL from Si NCs depends upon the stretch state of the PDMS substrates during measurement, demonstrating the viability of these luminescent Si NC layers for flexible electronics such as light-emitting device dis-plays and sensors.
ME-17 Design Considerations And Estimated On-Vehicle Performance For A Compression-Couple Based Thermoelectric Generator
Authors: Nariman Mansouri; Edward Timm; Harold Schock
Abstract: Approximately 55% percent of the energy produced from conventional vehicle resources is lost due to heat losses. An efficient waste heat recovery process will undoubtedly lead to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emission of greenhouses gases. A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is one of the most viable waste heat recovery approaches being used among industries for the purpose of converting waste heat to electrical energy. With high fuel costs and increasing demand for clean energy, a solid-state thermoelectric device is an attractive choice for reducing fuel consumption. Although they are reliable energy convertors, there are several barriers that have limited their implementation into the automotive market. Cracking of the materials is found to be a major failure mechanism which affects not only structural integrity, but also the energy conversion and overall performance of the system. In this paper, cracking of the thermoelectric material as observed in performance testing is analyzed by both numerical simulations and analytical approaches. With the help of finite element (FE) analysis, the detailed distribution of stress, strain, and temperature are obtained for each design. FE based simulations show that the tensile stresses are the main reason causing radial and circumferential cracks in the thermoelectric material known as skutterudite. Based on FE and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis, strategies in tensile stress reduction and failure prevention are suggested followed by the reasons to change the thermoelectric couple and generator design resulting in a reliable TEG.

ME-18 An Exponential Hardening Model For Crystal Plasticity Modeling Of Single Crystals
Authors: Aboozar Mapar; Farhang Pourboghrat; Thomas Bieler
Abstract: Stress-strain curve of single crystals usually involves three stages. The deformation starts activation of a single slip system, there is not much dislocation interactions and therefore the hardening rate is low. The next stage is when other slip systems active and rapidly increase the hardening rate. In the third stage cross slip happens and hardening rate decreases. Classical hardening model can only capture the first part of the stress-strain curve. In this study a new hardening model is proposed that can capture the first and second stages of the deformation. This model has been evaluated for Iron and Niobium single crystals and has successfully predicted the deformation behavior of both materials.
ME-19 Electroosmotic Flow Through The Polymer-Coated Nanochannels
Authors: Aryan Mehboudi; Junghoon Yeom
Abstract: The electroosmosis refers to the motion of a polar media next to a charged surface, due to an external tangential electric field. The counterions are attracted by the ions of the surface. In presence of the external electric field along the wall, the counterions located adjacent to the wall move along the surface and drag the fluid particles due to the fluid's viscosity. The produced net flow is referred to as the electroosmotic flow (EOF). Nowadays, the EOF is employed as the underlying mechanism in a large number of the micro/nano devices. However, its effects sometimes need to be controlled or even completely suppressed, particularly in those designs which are purely based on the electrophoresis mechanism. In such situations, the device's efficiency can be adversely affected by the EOF enormously. The polymer coating technique is commonly utilized to quench the unwanted side effects of the EOF. A profound understanding of the EOF behavior through the polymer-coated channels is consequently of uttermost importance. In this poster, we are going to present some of our results which have been obtained by using the numerical simulations. As a part of an ongoing project, we utilize the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), which is a Lagrangian mesoscpic method, in order to study the effects of the important parameters like density of grafting, solvent quality, thickness of polymer layer, etc., on the EOF behavior in terms of the overall mobility, and the velocity profile across the channel.
ME-20 Population Balance Method For Modeling Droplet Breakage And Coalescence In Turbulent Dispersion
Authors: Abdul Motin; André Bénard
Abstract: This paper addresses the detail mathematical modeling of droplet breakage and coalescence using the Population Balance Method (PBM). The population balance equation (PBE) represents the dynamics of droplet size distribution due to a process involving continuous interactions between individual droplets (such as coalescence and breakup). The PBM has been used to examine the time evolution of the distribution of volume fraction and Sauter mean size. An understanding of PBM in regards to the conservation of numbers and mass of dispersed droplets is also developed here. An in-house code (written in Matlab) has been used for solving the models for collision frequency, compaction force on the droplets, coalescence and breakage rates, daughter droplet distribution and the stand-alone PBE. Film drainage theory with the different regimes of droplet morphology is applied for calculating the coalescence time. Effect of the turbulent intensity and interfacial tension of oil-water mixture, volume fraction and API gravity of dispersed phase on the time evolution of size distribution of volume fraction and Sauter mean diameter are examined. The results show that, the drop-drop coalescence is dominant over the droplet breakage in pipe flow; the opposite is observed for flow through valve.

ME-21 Combustion And Surface Degradation Of Solid Materials
Authors: Yen Nguyen; Thomas Pence; Indrek Wichman
Abstract: The goal of this research is to quantify the effect of heating and combustion on solid material degradation. Depending on the material degradation mechanism, many different surface morphologies may result like voids, cracks. These cracks affects heat and mass transfer in both solid and gas phases, therefore combustion process. This forms a cycle combustion- solid degradation- combustion. In this presentation, some crack patterns associated with some particular heating conditions are generated. They could show period doubling behavior and tree- like behaviors depending on the stages of heating.

ME-22 Blood Perfusion Responses Of Lower Legs A Study Of Venous Stasis Ulcers
Authors: Wu Pan; Joshua P. Drost; Marc D. Basson; Tamara Reid Bush
Abstract: Venous stasis ulcers are skin wounds that occur most commonly on the lower leg. Little work has been conducted to identify differences in perfusion responses (blood flow) between healthy individuals and individuals with stasis ulcers. The goal of this work was to identify differences in perfusion responses to force (both normal and shear forces) between legs with existing venous stasis ulcers and healthy legs. A total of seventy five legs were evaluated resulting in three groups: 20 legs with wounds ("wounded"), 15 non-wounded legs but from patients with leg wounds ("non-wounded") and 40 "healthy" legs. A Laser Doppler Perfusion Monitor was used to monitor and record the blood perfusion of the skin during the entire test period. Statistically significant differences occurred between wounded legs and healthy legs during baseline, perfusion decrease under loading and reactive hyperemia. Effect size calculation suggested that statistically significant differences might be expected for higher sample sizes when comparing wounded and non-wounded legs; as well as for the comparison between non-wounded legs and healthy legs. These data show that the legs with existing venous stasis ulcers are significantly different from healthy legs whereas the non-wounded legs exhibited an intermediate trend between wounded and healthy legs. A progressive trend from healthy to non-wounded to wounded legs exists and the fact that individuals eventually develop an ulcer in the "non-wounded" leg supports the possibility that changes in force-perfusion responses could serve as predictor of ulcer formation.
ME-23 Multi-Objective Optimization Using Variable-Length Genomes
Authors: Matt Ryerkerk; Ron Averill; Kalyanmoy Deb; Erik Goodman
Abstract: Design optimization algorithms typically operate within a fixed-sized search space. However, there exists a class of problems where the number of design variables may not be fixed. Such problems include laminate composite design, coverage problems, and portfolio problems. Solutions for each of these problems are represented by a vector of components, such as layers in the laminate composite problem. The length of this vector can change, and the optimal length may not be known a priori. For multi-objective optimization the optimal length can vary between different regions of the Pareto-optimal front. Gradient based algorithms are ill-suited for such problems due to the changing dimensionality of the search space. Genetic algorithms (GA) are viable candidates, however the traditional operators are of little use with a variable-length genome. In literature, GA is often used for such problems, but the approaches often simplify the problem so that traditional operators can be used, or use new operators that don't handle the variable-length genome in a respectful manner. This include simply fixing the length of the vector, including an activation flag that can remove some parts of the vector from the evaluated solution, or using a cut and splice operator. These approaches are either inefficient or incapable of fully characterizing the Pareto-optimal front. This poster demonstrates the effectiveness of GA operators that have been developed to handle a variable-length genome in a meaningful way, and compares their performance to other approaches commonly found in literature.

ME-24 Multiscale Modeling Of Polymer Nano-Composites
Authors: Azadeh Sheidaei; Farhang Pourboghrat
Abstract: In recent years, polymer nano-composites (PNCs) have increasingly gained more attention due to their improved mechanical, barrier, thermal, optical, electrical and biodegradable properties in comparison with the conventional micro-composites or pristine polymers. With a modest addition of nanoparticles (usually less than 5wt.%), PNCs offer a wide range of improvements in moduli, strength, heat resistance, biodegradability, as well as decrease in gas permeability and flammability. Although PNCs offer enormous opportunities to design novel material systems, development of an effective numerical modeling approach to predict their properties based on their complex multi-phase and multiscale structure is still at an early stage. In this research, I have focused on establishing a computational framework to predict the mechanical properties of PNC. I have developed a microstructure inspired material model based on a statistical technique to reconstruct the microstructure of polymer nanocomposite. The model was able to successfully predict the material behavior obtained from experiment. This 3D microstructure model was later incorporated in a damage modeling problem in nanocomposite where damage initiation and damage progression have been modeled using cohesive-zone model and modified Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN) material model.
ME-25 Direct Numerical Simulation Of Turbulence And Mixing In Highly Compressible Flows
Authors: Yifeng Tian; Farhad Jaberi; Zhaorui Li; Daniel Livescu
Abstract: The effects of normal shock waves on isotropic turbulence and scalar mixing are studied by direct numerical simulation (DNS) of fully compressible equations with high-order monotonicity-preserving and compact finite-difference numerical schemes for various flow and scalar conditions. Detailed examinations of the turbulence and scalar statistics such as the turbulent kinetic energy and scalar variance indicate that the numerical method is accurate and is able to correctly capture the shock-turbulence interactions and scalar mixing near and away from the shock even at very high Mach numbers. As expected, the shock wave increases the small-scale turbulence and the skewness and flatness of the turbulent velocity fluctuations, but the turbulent compressibility is actually decreased by the shock. The effect of shock on the turbulence was to found be strongly dependent on the pre-shock turbulence parameters such as the turbulence intensity. The enhancement of scalar mixing by the shock is also found to be dependent on the pre-shock scalar structure. The mechanisms responsible for the modification of turbulence and scalar mixing are identified by analyzing the flow structure and the transport equations for the Reynolds stress, vorticity and scalar variance inside and outside the shock zone.

ME-26 Numerical Simulation Of Turbulent Jet Ignition
And Combustion In Advanced Engines
Authors: AbdoulAhad Validi; Farhad Jaberi
Abstract: The ignition and combustion of lean fuel-air mixtures by a turbulent jet flow of hot combustion products injected into various geometries are studied by high fidelity numerical models. Turbulent jet ignition (TJI) is an efficient method for starting and controlling the combustion in complex propulsion systems and engines, e.g. Rapid Compression Machines (RCM). The TJI and combustion of hydrogen and propane in various flow configurations are simulated with the direct numerical simulation (DNS) and the hybrid large eddy simulation/filtered mass density function (LES/FMDF) models. In the LES/FMDF model, the filtered form of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a high-order finite difference scheme for the turbulent velocity and the FMDF transport equation is solved with a Lagrangian stochastic method to obtain the scalar field. The DNS and LES/FMDF data are used to study the physics of TJI and combustion for different turbulent jet igniter and gas mixture conditions. The results show the very complex and different behavior of the turbulence and the flame structure at different jet equivalence ratios.

ME-27 Study Of Li Diffusivity In Si Via Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Miao Wang; Xinran Xiao
Abstract: Silicon is a very promising high capacity anode material for lithium iron batteries. However, the large volume expansion during lithiation can cause rapid capacity fading during battery cycling. The volume expansion effect may be remedied through electrode design. Numerical models can greatly facilitate the design process. The numerical models require material properties of Si/LixSi. The lack of key material data has prevented the efficient use of such tools in battery design. Diffusivity of Li in Si is one of the critical material properties since it determines the Li concentration gradient, and therefore the intercalation stresses in silicon. However, the diffusivity values reported in literature range from to . In this work, finite-element-analysis (FEA) is used to study the right order of Li diffusivity in Si. By simulating the a-Si nanoparticles under lithiation of the experiments by McDowell et al.1 , the Li diffusivity is estimated at the order of for Li-rich phase and for Si-rich phase. These values are further validated by comparing lithiated thickness growth, the lithiation time with several experiments in literature, and by comparing the level of stresses generated inside the particle with the reported fracture strength of Si material.

Bryan Marchment's battle-scarred beak can sniff out a setup at the best of times.
So when the Ottawa Senators spent much of Saturday night attempting to goad the emotional Maple Leafs defenceman into blowing his stack, Marchment was having none of it.
"Obviously they were down and they wanted to get something started," Marchment said, referring to the Leafs' 6-0 waxing of the Senators at the Corel Centre. "But this is the time of year for discipline, especially at playoff time.
"The team that keeps its cool more often than not is the one that will be successful."
Marchment talking about maintaining one's composure? On the surface, that's like John Daly preaching the virtues of a nutritional diet.
Then again, Marchment really hasn't lived up -- or down, as the case may be -- to the bad boy reputation he lugged to Toronto when he signed with the Leafs last summer.
Benched at times in the second half of the season, Marchment responded by becoming one of the Leafs' most consistent defencemen down the stretch.
His waning foot speed can make him look overmatched against quick opponents in the open ice, but he has been effective when he stays in position and plays a physical game within the rules.
After watching a number of Leafs defencemen continuously bounce off the hulking Philadelphia Flyer forwards during their first-round series last spring -- a matchup the Toronto blue liners lost almost every time -- Marchment was signed as a free agent to add a semblance of sandpaper to the Leafs' back end.
Given the fact man-mountain Senator Zdeno Chara likely will be planted on goalie Ed Belfour's doorstep during Senator power plays, Marchment seems to be the guy looked upon to at least try to outmuscle the Ottawa defenceman.
"Our job is to clear out the front of the net," Marchment said. "The league is cutting down on goalie contact."

Photographer's Note
Kastellorizo Island, in the Greek Aegean.
Cropped, levelled, increased brightness & sharpness.
Kastellorizo or Castellorizo (officially Megisti) is a Greek island and municipality located in the southeastern Mediterranean. It lies roughly 2 km off the south coast of Turkey, about 570 km southeast of Athens and 125 km east of Rhodes. Kastellorizo is part of the Rhodes regional unit.
The meaning of its current official name Megisti is "biggest" or "greatest", but at only 11.987 km2 in area, it is the smallest of the Dodecanese. The name, however, refers to the fact that it is the largest of the small archipelago.
The houses of the town are slender and characterised by wooden balconies and windows of the Anatolian type. Behind the waterfront, many houses are still in a ruinous state. At the entrance to the harbour, on the east side, stand the single story remnants of the former Italian governate (palazzina della delegazione), erected in 1926 by the Italian architect Florestano Di Fausto, who also designed some of the most important buildings of the Italian period in Rhodes.
Nearby is the island's former Ottoman mosque which dates from the second half of the 18th century and which has been now restored and re-opened as a museum (2007). From here starts the town's quay, which runs along all three sides of the harbour.

For Marketplace Morning Report, Mon., Aug. 8, 2011
Markets react to Standard & Poor's downgrade of U.S. debt. Our analyst says the market also reflects broader worries about the broader world economy. China, the biggest foreign holder of U.S. debt, gives its grade and it's not positive. But China may be more worried about other negative economic data, like the poor U.S. growth rate. How long before the U.S. gets its top rating back? The rich invest heavily in "family offices." And an economic bright spot: more stuff is being shipped by truck. The bad news is, there's a shortage of truckers.
