Advanced analysis of short-fiber polymer composite material behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Short-fiber polymer composites experience widespread use in many industrial applications, where the orientation states of the short-fibers within the polymer matrix define the material properties of the composite structure. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Torque ripple attenuation for an axial piston swash plate type hydrostatic pump: noise considerations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)The main goal of this work is to reduce the disturbing noise generated by axial piston swash plate type hydrostatic pumps by attenuating the shaft torque variation. The analysis begins by deriving the equation of the shaft ...
