Shape optimization for beam structural design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
structures, much of the work has been concerned with truss problems [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Some work has also been reported for frame st ructures[10,11,12]. However, the vast majority of this effort was almost exclusively focused on member sizing...
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 ...
Structural and dimensional force system synthesis for one degree-of-freedom planar linkages by using interactive computer graphics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1984)
objectives depending on the particular problem, such as : l)to reduce the required size of driving force devices, 2)to reduce energy consumption, 3)control maximum bearing forces, 4) reduce inertia shaking forces and moments, and 5)reduce impact force...
Development of a multiple-specimen, reversed-flexure fatigue tester and its application to the testing of titanium sheet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1971)
"Advancing technology constantly increases the demands on existing engineering materials. These demands are extremely severe for aerospace materials where the necessity for a higher strength-to-weight ratio is complicated ...
A holographic interferometry study of an axisymmetric shock-wave/boundary-layer strong interaction flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
pressures of 1.7 and 3.4 atm provided Reynolds number values of 18 • 106 and 36 • 106 based on model length. Three cone angles (12.5°, 20°, and 30°) were studied giving negligible, incipient, and large scale flow separation respectively. The initial cylinder...
