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 ...
Helical tool geometry in stability predictions and dynamic modeling of milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The temporal finite element analysis (TFEA) method has been used in several publications to analyze interrupted machining dynamics. In this work, a higher order hp-version TFEA method will be presented which offers the ...
State space formulation of TFEA & uncharted islands of instability in milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A new approach is developed to examine the stability of delay differential equations that builds upon the previous work in temporal finite element analysis. In contrast to the results of previous work, which could only be ...
Optimization of electromagnetic acoustic transducers for nondestructive evaluation of concrete structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
There are more than 130,000 prestressed concrete bridges in the United States with about 37,000 bridges being more than 30 years old. Prestressing steel strands are an important construction element used in these bridges ...
Thermal-mechanical analysis of targets for high volume production of molybdenum-99 using low-enriched uranium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
in foreign countries and use highly enriched uranium (HEU). The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is exploring the feasibility of high volume molybdenum-99 production at its facility. Current molybdenum-99 production uses HEU in a powder...
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...
Theoretial [sic] analysis of oscillating motion, heat transfer, minimum meniscus radius and charging procedure in an oscillating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
With the rapid development of electronic technology, investigation and application of devices with high performance of heat removal have become competitive issues recently. Different from traditional heat transfer strategy, ...
Dynamic study of the piezo-driven pipettes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is regarded as a critical assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure in which a single spermatozoon is mechanically injected...
Nonlinear mechanics and testing of highly flexible one-dimensional structures using a camera-based motion analysis system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
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 ...
Elastic property prediction of long fiber composites using a uniform mesh finite element method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This research numerically evaluates elastic non-isotropic material properties of fiber reinforced composite materials. Calculations are performed with a finite element mesh composed of a uniform array of three dimensional ...
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...
Modeling tools and prototype design of loop heat pipe for electronics cooling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
and temperature distributions for the liquid and gas/vapor phases are represented based on the governing equations for laminar flows and based on the universal profiles for turbulent flows. As a result, analytical relations of void fraction, frictional pressure...
