Advanced guidance algorithms for the Ares V cargo launch vehicle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Launch ascent guidance is an area that routinely involves applications of optimization tools and optimal control theory. The vacuum ascent trajectory problem has been formulated as a two-point boundary-value problem with ... -
Elastic property prediction of long fiber composites using a uniform mesh finite element method
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)This research numerically evaluates elastic non-isotropic material properties of fiber reinforced composite materials. Calculations are performed with a finite element mesh composed of a uniform array of three dimensional ... -
Forced convection in nanofluids over a flat plate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)This work analyzes the characteristics, flow development, and heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids under laminar forced convection over a flat plate. Nanofluids are engineered colloids composed of a base fluid and ... -
Horizontal zinc oxide nanomaterials growth and their application for surface enhanced raman scattering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanonecklace (NNs) or nanochains (NCs), aligned nanoparticles (NPs) in straight or curled shape, have been demonstrated using metals, silicon, silicides, ...
