    • Dec 2017 UTA RESEARCHER WORKING TO CORRELATE BLAST TRAUMA TO NEURONAL DAMAGE IN THE BRAIN

      Efficient communication between neurons in the brain is the key to achieving cognitive function.

      A University of Texas at Arlington researcher is working to determine how mechanical forces such as blasts or repeated blows to the head could damage neurons and lead to neurological disorders.

      Ashfaq Adnan, an associate professor in UTA’s Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, recently was awarded a three-year, $613,079 grant from the Office of Naval Research to show the potential link between blast-like trauma and neurological disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE.

    • Sept 2017 UTA MECHANICAL ENGINEER PUBLISHES FINDINGS THAT SHOW BRAIN DAMAGE THAT COULD OCCUR FROM BLAST-INDUCED CAVITATION

      Ashfaq Adnan, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington, and his postdoctoral associate Yuan Ting Wu recently published research findings in Nature’s Scientific Reports revealing that if battlefield blasts may cause cavitation in the brain’s perineuronal nets, which, in turn, may collapse and cause neuronal damage.

      Cavitation is the development of bubbles, much like those that develop around a ship’s spinning propellers. Adnan’s paper, a result of research supported by a grant through the Office of Naval Research’s Warfighter Performance Department and UTA, is titled, “Effect of shock-induced cavitation bubble collapse on the damage in the simulated perineuronal nets of the brain.” Timothy Bentley is the program’s director.

    • Mar 2016 UTA Inquiry Magazine (Spring 2016 Issue) MAKING CERAMICS STRONGER

      Attractive properties such as strength, hardness, durability, and resistance to corrosion have made ceramics a popular choice for a wide variety of applications, from kitchen knives and car brake pads to hip replacements and microprocessors. But it’s their high heat tolerance—some ceramics have a melting point of over 3,000 degrees Celsius—that makes them truly unique.

      “No material can sustain that high of a temperature except ceramics,” says Ashfaq Adnan, assistant professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department. “There are certain applications where ceramics are the only material that can do the job.”

    • Feb 2016 Engineering researcher wins Naval Research support to measure when and how battlefield blasts injure brain neurons

      A University of Texas at Arlington engineering researcher supported by the Office of Naval Research is developing a computational model to measure how and when battlefield blasts can cause devastating damage to neurons in the brain.

      Ashfaq Adnan, an assistant professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, will measure the blasts on a computer, then forward that information to partners at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington D.C., which will then use Adnan’s data and compare it to existing soldiers’ data. The work is supported by a three-year, $386,586 grant through the ONR’s Warfighter Performance Department and UTA. - See more at: http://www.uta.edu/news/releases/2016/02/ashfaq-adnan-ONR.php#sthash.OtwjfY80.dpuf

    • Aug 2005 6934600:2005  Nanotube FiberReinforced Composite Materials and Method of Producing Fiber Reinforced Composites

      A composite composition and a method of making such a composite that is composed of a matrix material and dispersed reinforcement nanotubes that are substantially aligned along at least one specified direction or axis. Also a method for making a continuous fiber-reinforced composite object by combining a reinforcement fiber tow with a solidifying matrix material to form a pre-impregnated tow or towpreg, providing a dispensing head capable of dispensing the towpreg onto a base member positioned a distance from this head with the head and base member being driven by motion devices electronically connected to a motion controller regulated by a computer, and operating and moving the head relative to the base member to dispense multiple layers of towpreg in accordance with a CAD-generated deposition path along which the dispensing head can be allowed to trace out individual layers by following a selected algorithm so that the number of path interruptions at which the towpreg must be tentatively cut off from the dispensing head is minimized.
