A comprehensive model for energy transport and ablation of metal films induced by ultrashort pulsed lasers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A comprehensive laser material ablation model was developed to describe energy transport, ultrafast phase changes, and material ablation of metal films irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses. The two optical models were ... -
Designing and modeling a split torque hydrostatic transmission in series with a manual transmission for an automotive application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Increasing petroleum prices have developed a strong demand for an invention to reduce fuel consumption, as well as cut the produced amount of carbon dioxide via consumed fuel. Hybrid vehicles are an effective invention in ... -
Effect of diet properties on the degradation of cartilage in mandibular symphysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The present study focuses on the nanomechanical characterization of biological materials, in particular the mandibular symphysis fibrocartilage. The ... -
Entropy generation and thermal performance of a pulsating heat pipe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A U-shaped pulsating heat pipe is an excellent heat transfer performance device. This study has been investigated step by step. a) The entropy generation is based on the second law of thermodynamics. In the present study, ... -
Hydraulic efficiency of a hydrostatic transmission with a variable displacement pump and motor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Pumps and motors are commonly connected hydraulically to create hydrostatic drives, also known as hydrostatic transmissions. A typical hydrostatic transmission consists of a variable displacement pump and a fixed displacement ... -
An investigation into gravity independent oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A number of oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) with unbalanced structures were investigated in an effort to develop methods enabling OHPs to be gravity ... -
New tool design for measuring tool displacement in milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Monitoring tool displacement during a milling process allows the operator to identify when there is relative movement between the cutting tool and the workpiece. When the relative movement between the cutting tool and the ... -
Nonlinear thermomechanical finite-element modeling, analysis and characterization of multi-turn oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) are promising heat dissipation devices for modern electronic systems due to their high heat transfer rate, simple ... -
Theory and development of a camera-based noncontact vibration measurement system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Dramatic advancement in technologies for high-speed high-resolution digital cameras in recent years enables the development of camera-based full-field noncontact measurement systems for vibration testing of flexible multibody ... -
Wireless signal acquisition and processing techniques for horse lameness detection and evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The Equine Lameness Locator(R) (ELL) is a newly developed system that provides a robust and objective method to detect and evaluate equine lameness. To achieve objective lameness evaluation, the system analyzes a horse's ...
