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. ...
Investigation of static interfacial fracture in orthotropic-orthotropic composite bimaterials using photoelasticity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
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 ...
Advanced analysis of short-fiber polymer composite material behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Short-fiber polymer composites experience widespread use in many industrial applications, where the orientation states of the short-fibers within the polymer matrix define the material properties of the composite structure. Due to the extensive use...
Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of a combined compact evaporative cooler
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Evaporative cooling utilizes the fact that water can absorb a relatively large amount of heat during the evaporation process. When this evaporation process takes place in ambient air, the ambient air temperature can be ...
System modeling and control design of a two-stage metering poppet-valve system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The goal of this work is to develop mathematical models, stability criteria, and control designs for a two-stage poppet valve system with a simple back-side pipeline condition that may be used in a valve stack to create ...
Laser assisted manufacturing of nanomaterials for energy conversion
