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 ...
Analysis and modeling of direct selective laser sintering of two-component metal powders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Direct Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an emerging technology of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) that 3-D parts are built from the metal-based powder bed with CAD data. A one...
Modeling of selective laser sintering of single-component metal powders
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technology which enables freeform fabrication of complex-geometry components directly from three-dimensional CAD data...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
Development of tailored preform processing technology for net-shape manufacturing of large monolithic structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
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. ...
