How to repair the injured spinal cord is a question that scientists have struggled with for decades. The answer is of course still a mystery. But ask people on the street for their opinion and they will likely offer something like “stem cells” as the solution. I find it amusing (and honestly, a bit annoying) that family and friends continue to ask me if there is anything new with stem cells. My...

The effect of a longitudinal stretch and a pressure-induced inhomogeneous radial deformation on the scattering of antiplane elastic waves from a cylindrical cavity is determined. Three popular nonlinear strain energy functions are considered: the neo-Hookean, the Mooney-Rivlin and a two-term Arruda-Boyce model. A new method is developed to analyse and solve the governing wave equations. It expl...

We present a method to control wave propagation in highly deformable layered media by utilizing elastic insta-bility-induced wrinkling of interfacial layers. The onset of a wrinkling instability in initially straight interfacial layersoccurs when a critical compressive strain or stress is achieved [1]. Further compression beyond the critical strainleads to an increase in the wri...

BOYCE, CURTIS WESLEY. Augmented Reality as a Perceptual Aid in Robot Teleoperation. (Under the direction of Dr. Robert St. Amant). Robots have reached a level of sophistication such that it is now productive to include robot-assisted search teams in urban search and rescue scenarios. The perceptual interface to the human operator is frequently a video display that relays images from a camera on...
