Chatter detection and prevention in high-speed milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)In this work, two separate mathematical models, a traditional and new model, are presented for an end-milling process. The traditional model assumes circular tool motion, while the new model accounts for trochoidal tool ... -
A comprehensive simulation-based methodology for the design and optimization of orthopaedic internal fixation implants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Internal fixation implants are widely used by orthopaedic surgeons to stabilize various types of fractures in injured patients. However, the irregular geometry of the human skeletal system, as well as the significant ... -
Dual phase lag behavior of living biological tissues in laser hyperthermia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A Generalized dual phase lag behavior for living biological tissues are investigated for blood and tissues and also developed a generalized dual phase ... -
Evaluation of novel hovering strategies to improve gravity-tractor deflection merits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The gravity-tractor (GT) consists of a spacecraft hovering inertially over a small asteroid. This equilibrium state is achieved by the action of a pair of engines that balance the gravitational acceleration. Due to Newton's ... -
Flight mechanics and control for an unpowered reusable launch vehicle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)A new strategy has been developed to aid in allowing a reusable launch vehicle to complete the Trajectory Area Energy Management (TAEM) phase of reentry. Using the new trajectory planning and tracking strategy, the reusable ...
