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 of mechanical properties...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development of an integrated approach combining artificial neural network material based on modeling with finite element analysis of forming processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The use of a finite element model for design and analysis of a metal forming processes is limited by the incorporated material model's ability to predict deformation behavior over a wide range of operating conditions. ...
Specific bio-modeling and analysis techniques at cellular and systems level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Modeling approaches are developed for two different levels, cellular (Part I) and systems (Part II), and used to develop insights into system performance. PART I consists of three chapters focusing on computational ...
