Finite element analysis of residual stress generation during spot welding and its affect on fatigue behavior of spot welded joints
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This dissertation presents the finite element based prediction of residual stress generation in a spot welded joint during the spot welding process and the effects of residual stress on fatigue behavior of a spot welded ...
Techno-economic assessment of utilizing solar thermal energy in manufacturing processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In the past century, fossil fuels have been a primary source of mankind's energy production as they are cheaper and more readily available due to ...
Nanomechanical property characterization of femoral head materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mechanical behavior of transparent fiber reinforced polyester composites at extreme temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Selecting materials for harsh or extreme environmental conditions can be a challenge. The combination of a harsh environment, large forces over extended periods and the need for lowest possible cost restricts the choice ...
