[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 ...

for an eccentric-circular cam design and a one-cam one-pulley design. By iteratively determining the bow limb, cam, and cable positions a relationship between the drawn length and drawn force will produce a draw-force curve. In fact, this curve represents...

The effects of static Mode I (opening mode) and mixed-mode (both Mode I - opening mode and Mode II - shear mode present) loading on orthotropic-orthotropic bimaterial interface cracks and isotropic-orthotropic bimaterial ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A new guidance scheme for the terminal area energy management (TAEM) phase of an unpowered reusable launch vehicle (RLV) has been developed. The main ...

A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is a type of cooler that uses the electricity between the junction of two materials to cause a temperature drop. These coolers operate using the Peltier effect. Effectively, a TEC uses electrical ...

Both experimental and theoretical investigations are conducted for the dynamics of cables and strings. The exact equations of motion for finite but small amplitude vibration of string were derived based on a fully nonlinear ...

control methods that comprise modified PI control, LQG control, H [mobius] control, and nonlinear feedback control are used to make a closed-loop poppet system. The nonlinear controller is only applied to the nonlinear system and certified by Lyapunov...

There is currently much interest in femtosecond scale laser interactions with materials. Comparison of the damage produced by the femtosecond laser pulses to the longer laser pulses is also of interest. This study examined ...

[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 ...

Mechanical and electrical brakes have dominated the braking industry for many years and will most likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future due to their low cost and adequate operating performance, wide range of ...

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 ...

Techenetium-99m is diagnostic radioactive medical isotope that is currently used 30,000 times a day in the United States. All supplies of techenetium-99m's parent isotope molybdenum-99 currently originate from nuclear ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Orthopedic Implants under long-term physiological loading could produce changes in the surface mechanical properties and possible failure. The knowledge ...

The aim of the present research effort involves exploration of a new processing approach, "Tailored Preform Processing (TPP)" technology for net-shape manufacturing of monolithic structures for the transportation industry. ...

cases, one with an evaporating particle (water) cloud and another with a gas only approximation were run in the hydrodynamics code FLASH. Both cases had an incident Mach number of 1.65 and an effective Atwood number of 0.046. It is shown that both...

The objective of this study is the optimal design of helical spring based on dynamic criteria. The most important dynamic performance criterion of a helical spring is the resonance behavior, including dynamic stress, coil ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The studies of the coronary circulation hemodynamics are of great importance due to the high mortality and morbidity associated with coronary diseases. ...

The objective of this research was to characterize the mechanical properties and study the microstructures of the friction stir welded joints to obtain the optimum process conditions that would result in the desired ...
