Design and experimental testing of metamaterial-based agitators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Due to the low heat rejection capacity or huge water consumption of traditional cooling methods, many power plants are looking for a way that is eco-friendly and high efficient but low-cost to retrofit their current cooling ... -
Design and optimization of dissipative elastic metamaterials and their applications for broadband blast and shockwave mitigation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Elastic/Acoustic metamaterials comprise a new class of composite materials that possess unique effective material properties owing to their locally resonant substructures. Because of the inherent local resonance mechanism, ... -
Dynamic model of sandwich structure with viscoelastic middle layers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Composite materials have been increasingly used in various types of engineering systems such as aeronautics, aerospace and civil engineering to minimize the structural weight. Viscoelastic layer has a level of energy ...
