Developing and automating time delay system stability analysis of dynamic systems using the Matrix Lambert W (MLW) function method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Stability analysis of time-delayed (TD) systems is not easy to conduct since the addition of delays within a dynamic model results in irrational system equations. Traditional TD analysis methods involve adding approximations ... -
Infiltration and solid-liquid phase change in porous media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Many natural phenomenon and engineering systems involves phase change and infiltration in porous media. Some examples are the freezing of soil, frozen food, water barrier in construction and mining processes, chill casting ... -
Investigation of static interfacial fracture in orthotropic-orthotropic composite bimaterials using photoelasticity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The effects of static Mode I (opening mode) and mixed-mode (both Mode I - opening mode and Mode II - shear mode present) loading on orthotropic-orthotropic bimaterial interface cracks and isotropic-orthotropic bimaterial ... -
Modeling tools and prototype design of loop heat pipe for electronics cooling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)In this dissertation, a set of modeling tools for loop heat pipe (LHP) design is developed, and original analytical models for annular two-phase flow are proposed. LHPs are promising two-phase thermal transport devices for ...
