Analysis of an oscillating engine for power generation based on the "Drinking Bird Toy"
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1969)"The investigation presented here is of an oscillating engine of which the "Drinking Bird Toy" is a prime example. A model is set up to represent the way the toy works and an attempt is made to calculate the power output ... -
Characterization of the surface finish of cold forged 6061-T6 aluminum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)"The production of components by cold forging offers several advantages over other manufacturing processes. A limitation lies in the lack of understanding of the tribological interaction of the workpiece, lubricant, and ... -
Microcomputer process control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)"The objective of this work is to extend the functions of a MOSTEK micro-computer allowing it to function as data logging and as a digital control unit. It will be capable of accepting multiple inputs from analog sensors; ... -
Prediction of surface flaw propagation in finite plates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)The main objective of this paper is to improve the accuracy of the prediction of surface flaw fatigue life under constant amplitude loading. The concepts of crack closure and effective stress intensity factor are used to ... -
A recommendation for the initial graphic exchange specification, experimental solids proposal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)"In the short span of ten years a new technology has evolved which has already dramatically changed the way in which products are designed and manufactured. In the decades that lie ahead, advances in this technology will ... -

Analytical and experimental study of lightweight concrete-steel composite beams
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1963)"Object and Scope: This investigation was made to study the following questions: 1. The validity of using data obtained from push-out tests to predict the elastic behavior of composite beams. 2. The effect of shear connector ... -
An investigation of a dual rotor internal combustion engine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1965)"INTRODUCTION: "The rotary engine, after overcoming some early teething troubles, will take a much more important place than the turbine in competition with piston engines for cars." This forecast by Dr. Fernand Picard ... -
Condensation heat transfer on a rotating cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia., 1973)"The mechanism of the vapor condensation on a cold surface was first mathematically formulated by Nusselt in 1916. Though many modifications of Nusselt's formulation have been introduced by other scientists later (see ... -
Computer simulation of a miniature distillation column and transfer function prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1979)"The Department of Chemical Engineering is in the process of developing microprocessor control of a laboratory distillation. The purpose of this research was to construct a mathematical computer simulation of the distillation ... -
VECA : reliable and confidential resource clustering for volunteer edge-cloud computing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2024)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 08/01/2025] Volunteer Edge-Cloud (VEC) has a significant potential to support scientific workflows in user communities contributing volunteer edge nodes. However, managing heterogeneous and intermittent ... -
Facile method for chemical vapor deposition of graphene under industrially safe conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2024)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 08/01/2025] An experimental study was conducted to evaluate graphene deposition using a simple APCVD system. Low-cost Cu foil served as the catalytic substrate, facilitating graphene growth via methane ... -
Low-overhead zero trust for communication and computation tasks in tactical edge networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2024)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 08/01/2025] Tactical Edge Network (TEN) environments are critical to deploy applications in e.g., military, disaster response, and industrial manufacturing environments. With TENs involving dynamic ... -
A study of building intelligent systems using reinforcement learning for remote instrumentation and immersive learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2024)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 08/01/2025] Reinforcement Learning (RL) has the potential for developing intelligent, adaptive systems and foster feedback-oriented training of software to make decisions that maximize rewards, and increase ... -
Enabling the simulation of helium transport in lithium for fusion devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2024)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 08/01/2025] Nuclear fusion is a potential source of abundant, carbon-free energy. However, creating a nuclear fusion device with the ability to efficiently produce energy is a challenge to modern engineering. ...
