Variable-mesh difference equation for the stream function in axially symmetric flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
A finite difference equation is developed for the stream function in cylindrical coordinates with axial symmetry which is applicable to an irregular mesh having different length and radial dimensions. In addition, the ...
Ternary system ethyl alcohol--n--heptane-water at 30 [degrees] CThe rectifying property of polarized barium titanate
(University of Missouri, 1955)
Applicability of thermoacoustic phenomena to MHD conversion systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
Use of the centrifugal governor mechanism as a torsional vibration absorber
(University of Missouri, 1954)
"The centrifugal governor mechanism, suitably modified, is shown to be a practical torsional vibration absorber. Equations for predicting its performance are developed, and comparisons are made with other types of ...
An evaluation of the overhead projector in teaching kinematics
(University of Missouri, 1961)
"The overhead projector has been used as a teaching aid for several years, in elementary education and in engineering drawing. No use of an overhead projector in kinematics has been reported, nor has there been a statistical evaluation of its...
Irrigation-drainage-climatology for flat humid land
(University of Missouri, 1958)
"Irrigation, drainage, and climatology are combined under professional corporate management of an engineer-agronomist-climatologist type to greatly increase profits on large holdings of flat humid lands. A pioneering development in the Mississippi...
Thermodynamic properties of n-propyl alcohol
(University of Missouri, 1961)
Dewatering rates for digested sludge in lagoons
(University of Missouri, 1960)
"Digested sludge lagoons were originally considered temporary sludge storage devices; however, it was found that with prolonged storage a lagoon became an effective drying unit. Since they provide one of the more economical ...
Static modulus of elasticity of concrete as affected by density
(University of Missouri, 1960)
"The elastic modulus of concrete is an important parameter in reinforced concrete design and analysis. With the increased use of lightweight aggregates for structural concrete a better understanding of the relationship ...
Selection of personnel
(University of Missouri, 1955)
Additions to sample data theory
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"In the current literature, two different approaches to sampled-data theory prevail. One approach emphasizes the z-transformation methods for design and synthesis. The other approach emphasizes the Laplace transformation ...
A synthesis procedure for sampled-data systems
(University of Missouri, 1956)
This paper proposes a direct synthesis procedure for the design of sampled-data systems using the z-transformation method. This procedure can be summarized as follows: 1. By methods set forth in the literature the pole-zero ...
Transfer of load between precast bride slabs
(University of Missouri, 1961)
"This paper presents the procedures used and the results obtained in a series of static load tests designed to study the mechanism of load transfer between adjacent precast bridge-slab sections. These tests were undertaken as one phase of a general...
Three and four coil systems for homogeneous magnetic fields
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
obtained by making zero as many terms as possible of the series for the field along the axis of the system. The parameters are presented in the form of tables and curves."--Page 1....
Application of the principle of corresponding states for polar substances
(University of Missouri, 1961)
Discussion of an Article by G. S. Ramaswamy and M. Ramaiah : characteristics equation of cylindrical shells : a simplified method of solution
(University of Missouri, 1963)
"Messrs. Ramaswamy and Ramaiah suggest an elegant procedure for determining the roots of the eighth-degree characteristic equation. The method consists of converting the eighth-degree equation into a biquadratic and then ...
Coating thickness measurements using pulsed eddy currents
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"The nondestructive measurement of the thickness of one metal coated or clad upon another metal as a base has been studied for the past twenty years or more. If one of the metals is magnetic, the problem is relatively ...
Lightweight aggregates for structural concrete
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"In recent years interest in lightweight concrete has become widespread, not only on account of its light weight, which is desirable in floor slabs, walls and partitions, but also because of its high thermal and sound ...
The impedance of a coil placed on a conducting plane
(University of Missouri, 1963)
"Probe coils are useful in determining the properties of metals on which the coil is placed. An analysis and an equivalent circuit of the coil on a metal surface are needed and are presented here. The coil was assumed to ...
