  • Development of a method to determine the penetration velocity of a powder actuated fastener

    Creator:
    Jarvis, Philip Arthur
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this work was to design a system for measuring the velocity of a powder actuated fastener or drivepin during penetration. This system would provide a tool for further investigation into drivepin penetration characteristics. The main characteristic of interest is the instantaneous acceleration from which the forces on...

  • An analysis of automobile handling characteristics and stability

    Creator:
    Sandberg, Gary Karl
    Abstract:
    It is desirable to be able to describe an automobile mathematically because of the large number of variables which affect automobiles' handling characteristics and of the high cost of building prototypes. A mathematical analysis facilitates the construction of a few prototypes whose configurations look most promising. Equations of motion were...
