MS Thesis Defense - Margaret Meagher

A Masters of Science Thesis Defense:  A Biomechanical Analysis of Weighted Lifting with an Active Knee Exoskeleton  By: Margaret Meagher   Date: May 9th, 2025 Time: 10:00 am Location: MEK 3350   Committee Members:  Tommaso Lenzi Haohan Zhang Bo Forman   Project Summary  This study investigated the biomechanical effects of a bilateral powered knee exoskeleton during a lifting task commonly performed by manual laborers and material movers. For the first time, we assessed the biological joint torque during an occupational lifting task with assistance from a powered knee exoskeleton. Results from eight participants indicated that the powered knee exoskeleton significantly reduced the biological knee torque peak by 53-54% compared to not using the exoskeleton. Accordingly, the peak quadriceps muscle activation significantly decreased by 29-31%. Even though the exoskeleton only directly assisted the knee joints, the ankle torque also decreased by 15-18% with the exoskeleton, although only small changes were seen to… Campus Wide Event: Yes.

PhD Dissertation Defense - John William (Will) Timaeus

A Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Defense Entitled:  Thru-thickness Behavior of Embedded Damping Materials Co-cured with Composite Materials By: John William (Will) Timaeus   Date: May 9th, 2025 Time: 1:00 PM Location: MEK 3350 Committee Members:  Dr. Daniel Adams (Chair) Dr. Michael Czabaj Dr. Owen Kingstedt Dr. Sanford Meek Dr. Chris Pantelides   Project Summary:   This dissertation explores the behavior of embedded damping patches in constrained layer damping (CLD) glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite laminates, focusing on the effects of damping material placement, resin impingement, and geometric configuration on damping efficiency and structural integrity. Through a combination of experimental testing, numerical modeling, and analytical methods, the study investigates how these factors influence the shear strain distribution, damping performance, and overall mechanical properties of the laminates. The research includes asymmetric four-point bend (AFPB) testing, dynamic mechanical analysis… Campus Wide Event: Yes. Friday, May 9, 2025, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM.
