Analytical earth-aerocapture guidance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Aerocapture is a technique of employing a single atmospheric pass to inserts a spacecraft from a hyperbolic orbit, approaching from deep space, into an elliptical (captured) orbit around its destination planet. After ...
Experimental investigation of hybrid fluid oscillatory motion and heat transfer in oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Mathematical models predicting the oscillatory motions as well as the heat transfer effects of hybrid fluids (HF) in an oscillating heat pipe (OHP) are simulated. The models consider the vapor bubble as the gas spring for ...
Assessing mechanical properties of the cardiovascular system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The elasticity of wall of the arteries plays a significant role in cardiovascular system. Capacitance of the aorta is predicative of cardiovascular events[1]. To get better understanding the function of the cardiovascular ...
Numerical and experimental investigations on capillary-driven thin-film evaporation with applications in pumped two-phase loop and loop thermosyphon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Thin-film evaporation in solid-liquid-vapor interface has been the focal point of engineering research and industrial applications for decades. The objective of this dissertation is to systematically investigate the ...
Evaluation of process-structure-property relationships of carbon nanotube forests using simulation and deep learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This work is aimed to explore process-structure-property relationships of carbon nanotube (CNT) forests. CNTs have superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties that make them suitable for many applications. Yet, ...
Topological mechanics and acoustics : theoretical and experimental demonstration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Topological insulators are new phases of matter whose properties are derived from a number of qualitative yet robust topological invariants rather than specific geometric...
Numerical study of self-assembly of granular and colloidal particles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Self-assembly of granular materials and colloids are studied using several different computational methods such as Discrete Element Method (DEM), Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, finite volume Volume of Fluid ...
