High strain properties of advanced high strength spot welded steels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This research was conducted to investigate and characterize the high strain rate compressive loading behavior of DP600 GI, an advanced high strength spot welded steels, using...
A study of parametric excitation applied to a MEMS tuning fork gyroscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The current MEMS ( gyroscopes which normally use the electro static force to excite the comb drive are faced with the limitations such as low precision, coupling problem, and poor robustness. We propose to use parametric ...
A method of frequency domain error modeling to predict the probability of stability and performance of dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work a method is developed for modeling frequency domain error in dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty. Within any mass-manufactured dynamic system, parameters...
Imaging-based customization of lattice structures for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Synovial joints can provide movement and articulation, however, with overuse, aging, and trauma, joint replacement surgeries may be needed. Commercially available joint...
Electron emission thermal energy conversion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Electron emission from a surface can be achieved via two mechanisms: tunneling and thermionics. Converting thermal energy to electrical power using these mechanisms is achieved by generation of an electron current from the ...
Experimental and analytical study on two-phase impingement cooling with and without electric field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Among the thermal management solutions for power electronics, two-phase jet or spray impingement cooling are two promising candidates. In this study, electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) method is used to generate spray ...
Patient specific bone remodeling and finite element analysis of the lumbar spine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The body of work outlined here relates generally to mechanical engineering research in the area of biomechanics. More specifically this work focuses on numerical evaluation...
Theoretical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in an evaporative cooling system with zeolite desiccant powered by solar energy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Concerns about energy sources depletion and environmental pollution issues have been raised and is a top priority of the global community. Refrigeration machines have been...
Direct contact heat exchanger development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The purpose of this work was to develop tools that guide the design of a direct contact heat exchanger for small-scale commercial and/or residential HVAC applications...
Programmable elastic metamaterials for wave and vibration control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Emerging from electromagnetic waves and fast extending to acoustics and elastics, metamaterials as artificial structures exhibit extraordinary wave control abilities attracting...
