Advanced modeling and optimal control of a cart-double pendulum system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Overhead Crane has evolved in scope since its inception in the late 1800's. Its early use as a hoist for material transport is now proceeded by new ... -
Analysis and design of a hydraulic compaction machine to produce activated carbon pellets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014) -
Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The first compound bow was invented in Missouri in 1969. [Allen, 1968] Compound bows are uniquely different from other types of bows in that they use a set of cables, cams and pulley, and two elastic limbs that act as ... -
Kineto-elastic modeling and optimization of compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most improvements and re-designs of compound bows apparently use or partly apply empirical methods to determine bow performance characteristics. A ... -
Low-temperature sintering and fabrication research of ceramics and numerical simulation on elastic, pressure drop and heat transfer properties of open cell foams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) was chosen as a sintering aid to lower the sintering temperature of the ZnO-TiO2 system. The effect of V2O5 on the sintering behavior of ZnO-TiO2 ceramics and cermets was studied as a function of ... -
Modeling, verification, optimal design of nonlinear valve spring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The objective of this study is the optimal design of helical spring based on dynamic criteria. The most important dynamic performance criterion of a helical spring is the resonance behavior, including dynamic stress, coil ... -
Optimal design of the limb in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Most of the emphasis in research on compound bows was done on the kinetic analysis of the cam mechanics and their optimization. When the mechanics of the limbs are considered, many assumptions are made, and mostly experimental ... -
Parametric and optimal design of modular machine tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Over the years machine tools for manufacturing have developed into two classes. One is the general purpose machine tools, and the other is designed for machining large quantities of a specific part or process. These ... -
Relating the bicycle frame's geometry to the handling performances considering different riders' physical parameters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Conventional bicycle frame is composed of 4 parts: rear frame, front frame (handlebar and fork), front wheel & rear wheel. The scientific design ... -
Research & development of Q-Baller -- a spherical wheeled robot
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The Spherical Wheeled Robot (Ball-Bot) is a family of robots that can maintain balance standing on a ball and use it as its wheel to move around. In recent years, there have been several successful Ball-Bot designs. We ...
