Three-dimensional, nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of laminated composites : a finite element approach

Creator:

Wang, Min

Abstract:

Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inadequate because many polymers exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Classical laminate theory is commonly used in the study of laminated...

Quantifying product development efforts : a methodology

Creator:

Boer, Michael R.

Abstract:

Product development efforts are extremely important to a company's success in today's global competitive business environment. Yet, these highly consequential efforts are terribly nebulous to a point that past experiences are inherently underutilized. This thesis demonstrates a methodology to quantify past product development efforts in an attempt to better utilize...
