Development and characterization of light weight laminated composite under impact loading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Today, armor protection is one of the most important elements of survivability. So developing materials which can withstand all futuristic threats, including those from terrorism has therefore become very critical. Polymer ... -
Effects of machining system parameters and dynamics on quality of high-speed milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)This dissertation outlines research on studying the effects of machining parameters such that cutting speed, feed rate, axial depth of cut, radial depth of cut and helix angle on system dynamic stability and the surface ... -
Experimental design and modeling of a microscale differential thermal calorimeter for the purposes of cryopreservation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)In order to develop successful cryopreservation protocols for various biological materials, it is necessary to determine the thermodynamic properties of nanoliterscale biological samples: ranging from heat capacity to heat ... -
Experimental investigation of oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] With ever increasing technological advances in electronics, modern computer components continue to produce higher power densities that present a challenge ... -
An investigative approach to explore optimum assembly process design for annular targets carrying leu foil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Technetium-99m is the most widely used nuclear isotope in the medical field, with nearly 80 to 85% of all diagnostic imaging procedures. The daughter isotope of molybdenum-99 is currently produced using weapons-grade ... -
Oscillating heat pipes : study of their oscillating motion using neutron imaging and application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Neutron imaging produces unique images of objects making it a useful nondestructive technique with various applications in science and industry. ... -
Plasmonic Au nanostructures for surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique that provides rich structural information for identifying chemical species but finds limited applications owing to its low sensitivity. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy ... -
Two-phase flow over flooded micro-pillar structures with engineered wettability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Flooding caused by excessive droplet feeding on heat dissipation areas periodically occurs for droplet-based thermal management. The conventional highly wettable texture of target surfaces, which is designed for thin film ...
