A study of the hardening mechanisms and microstructural characteristics of an improved dental amalgam
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
Dispersalloy dental amalgam has been developed in the last twelve years and displays a significant decrease in creep rate and an increased resistance to corrosion. The manufacturer claims that the decreased creep rate ...
A study of parametric instability of eccentrically stiffened rectangular plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1974)
The purpose of the investigation was to determine the onset of parametric instability for a simply-supported rectangular stiffened plate subjected to periodic in-plane loads. The static buckling and the free vibration of ...
An optical crosscorrelation technique for turbulent density measurements in flames
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1973)
A crossed-beam schlieren (cbs) system has been constructed and used to study the structure of an open, premixed propane-air flame that was pilot-stabilized on a two-dimensional burner. The cbs is composed of two perpendicular ...
The prediction of concentration and residual stress due to high temperature electroplating
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1970)
This research was carried out to further investigate the high temperature electroplating process, in particular, to develop simple computer programs to evaluate the concentration and residual stress present. The programs, ...
Program for optimization of experimental data within a constrained configuration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
"The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and evaluate the development of a computer program for the optimization of a variable within a constrained situation. The objective of the program is to determine what combination ...
An analysis of the induction time in the acetylene oxygen reaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
"The importance of hydrocarbon combustion in flames and explosions of gases has long been recognized and hence continues to attract intensive investigation. Even though many new results are presented each year the proposed ...
An optical lateral control system for vehicles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
"It is evident that we will need a new mode of highway transportation within the next fifteen years. There are already 103 million vehicles (cars, trucks, and buses) on our roads; the majority of which are concentrated in ...
Measurements and analyses of nasal and oral airflow during isolated sound productions by normal and cleft palate speakers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
Speech sound is produced through the superimposition of a coordinated series of progressive and dynamic processes. These processes include respiration, phonation, resonance, and articulation and are accomplished by making ...
Relative motion of spheroids at low Reynolds number
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)
"The term aerosol has been frequently used to describe microscopic liquid and/or solid particles. Initially aerosol particles were thought to be stable when settling in a gravitational field. Later Brownian motion and ...
