A Variational Framework for Phase-Field Fracture Modeling with Applications to Fragmentation, Desiccation, Ductile Failure, and Spallation
(2021)Fracture is a common phenomenon in engineering applications. Many types of fracture exist, including, but not limited to, brittle fracture, quasi-brittle fracture, cohesive fracture, and ductile fracture. Predicting fracture ... -
Development and Application of a Mass Spectrometry-Based Assay for the High Throughput Analysis of Protein-Ligand Binding
(2009)Many of the biological roles of proteins are modulated through protein-ligand interactions, making proteins important targets for drug therapies and diagnostic imaging probes. The discovery of novel ligands for a protein ... -
Evaluation of Energetics-based Techniques for Proteome-Wide Studies of Protein-Ligand Binding Interactions
(2015)Detection and quantification of protein-ligand binding interactions is extremely important for understanding interactions that occur in biological systems. Since traditional techniques for characterizing these types of ... -
Geometry-Based Thermodynamic Homogenization for Porous Media, with Application to Resilience Prediction and Gyroscopic Sustainability
(2021)Understanding and predicting the behavior of porous media holds unexpected potential for technological advances toward resilience and sustainability. Indeed, these materials are ubiquitous and exhibit a rich palette of processes, ... -
