A comprehensive model for energy transport and ablation of metal films induced by ultrashort pulsed lasers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A comprehensive laser material ablation model was developed to describe energy transport, ultrafast phase changes, and material ablation of metal films irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses. The two optical models were ... -
Optimal orbit transfers for satellite formation flying applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)This dissertation focused on trajectory optimization problems arising from the application of satellite formation flying, and obtained three major results. First, the dissertation proposed an algorithm for finding a ... -
The study and development of calcium phosphate bone cement and hydroxy apatite nanofibers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)In order to have better understanding of the influence of the raw materials of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), including both powder and liquid, on the properties of the of CPCs and eventually develop a way to better ... -
The thermal-mechanical analysis of targets for the high volume production of molybdenum-99 using a low-enriched uranium metal foil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Molybdenum-99 diagnostic imaging is the most commonly practiced procedure in nuclear medicine today with the majority molybdenum-99 produced with proliferation sensitive HEU. International and domestic efforts to develop ...
