The electronic position indicator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1965)
The Electronic Position Indicator is a radar-like device for the study of hand motions. First, a rederivation of the theory is presented to show its application to this situation. Then, the accuracy of the positional ...
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)
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 ...
A study of the effects of paced audio-rhythm on repetitive motion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1966)
The study described was propounded to determine if it is possible to provide a biophysical driving force that will stimulate the operator in repetitive tasks to work at a rhythm that is comfortable, yet more productive ...
Measuring equivalent circuits
(University of Missouri, 1960)
"The equivalent circuit is a familiar tool to power system engineers. Today's large interconnected power systems often are studied as electric networks in which part of the network is a simplified equivalent of the actual system. Such equivalents...
The impedance of a coil near a conductor
(University of Missouri, 1958)
"The results are given of experiments undertaken to determine the manner in which the apparent inductance and resistance of an alternating current carrying coil changes when it is brought near a plate of non-ferrous metal. ...
Viscosity of suspensions of spherical and other isodimensional particles in liquids
(University of Missouri, 1958)
"The viscosity of a suspension is related to the properties of the suspending liquid and the suspended particles by measuring the viscosity of suspensions made up of closely sized materials such as glass spheres, plastic ...
The design of a single-layer microwave absorbing material
(University of Missouri, 1959)
The microwave absorbing structure considered here consists of a homogeneous lossy dielectric material backed by a good conductor. Some previous work has been done on obtaining the electric and magnetic parameters of a ...
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 ...
Relay protection for lines being sleet-melted by the short-circuit method
(University of Missouri, 1956)
"Sleet formation on transmission lines was recognized as a serious operating problem as early as 1916 and shortly thereafter methods were devised to melt sleet. In recent years various ways have been presented for connecting ...
The mutual impedance of perpendicular half-wave antennas
(University of Missouri, 1960)
The mutual impedance of two coupled linear antennas is needed to obtain the radiation impedance of an array of linear antennas and to determine the effect of one antenna upon a neighboring antenna, for example, the effect ...
Loosening of bolted joints by small plastic deformations
(University of Missouri, 1961)
Formulas are derived for several cases of loosening of bolted joints caused by stresses in excess of elastic limits and accompanying permanent deformations. It is shown that loosening occurs during the initial application ...
Experimental investigation of a magnetically balanced arc in a transverse argon flow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1966)
"An experimental study of an electric arc in crossed convective and magnetic fields has been made. An electric arc was established across a rectangular test section through which argon gas was flowing at approximately ...
Treatment of livestock waste: a laboratory study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1965)
Irrotational flow over spillways of finite height
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1965)
Potential theory is used to analyze free-surface, irrotational flow over spillways of finite height. Numerical values were obtained for free-surface coordinates, pressures on the surface of the spillway, and discharge ...
Circuit waveforms for periodic waves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
"A method using steady-state transforms is described which indicates how the sum function of a Fourier series may be obtained. The method can be applied to problems arising from circuits containing concentrated circuit parameters, but is not quite...
A qualitative and quantitative measure of Aufwuchs Production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1966)
"Aufwuchs production was measured from its accrual on plexiglass substrates submerged in a stream. A method was developed for separating autotrophic and heterotrophic aufwuchs production and for separating this production ...
Sequence summation factors
(University of Missouri, 1955)
"This paper defines a new structural parameter called "Sequence-summation Factor" which may be used in the systematic calculation of "over-relaxation" factors for moment distribution processes. These sequence-summation ...
Controlled-deflection design method for reinforced concrete beams and slabs
(University of Missouri, 1962)
"Describes a design method for reinforced concrete beams and slabs in which the allowable ratio of span to deflection is a criterion. The method may also be used for estimating deflections in given designs including those ...
