Noncontact measurement of shaft torsional displacements by optical means

Creator:: Melendy, Robert F.
Abstract:: An optical diagnostic system capable of measuring angular displacements in a torsionally loaded shaft through noncontact means has been developed. Conventional torsion diagnostic mechanisms must come in contact with the shaft to be analyzed. The signal-to-noise ratio response of conventional systems is compromised by dirt and wear. Another consequence of...

A study of a diffusionally controlled reactive synthesis process using a multi-tube diffusion flame burner

Creator:: Snell, Douglas C.
Abstract:: A continuous process for the production of ceramic materials has been studied. This method reacted metal and oxidizer in a diffusionally controlled process, demonstrated by reacting a magnesium particle stream and hot water vapor. Many small rich hydrogen/air diffusion flames provide an atmosphere of hot water vapor, hydrogen, and nitrogen...

Mechanics of Nb-Ti superconducting composites

Creator:: Guo, Zhiqiang
Abstract:: Mechanical behavior of Nb-Ti superconducting composites with copper matrices have been studied experimentally and theoretically. Experimental work includes extensive measurements of Cu/Nb-Ti composite system. Techniques for fine fiber testing and composite wire measurement have been developed. Experimental parameters examined in this research include geometry, hardness, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield...

Heat transfer in the splash-zone of a high temperature fluidized bed

Creator:: Pidwerbecki, David
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Computer assisted design of planar workholders

Creator:: Chancharoen, Ratchatin
Abstract:: There are many situations in which contact between two bodies is at a single point so there can be no tensile (force). This form of contact only provides a single degree of restraint, and is defined as a unidirectional point contact. The analysis of Reuleaux shows that four suitably placed...

An architecture for a function driven mechanical design solution library

Creator:: Wood, Stephen L.
Abstract:: The engineering design process and the advancement of future computer-aided-design systems need new design aids to be used during the conceptual design phase. This design phase is where information gathering and understanding of the problem are developed, analyzed and broken into small more manageable elements. These elements consist of customer...

SketchPad for Windows : an intelligent and interactive sketching software

Creator:: Gulur, Sudheendra S.
Abstract:: The sketching software developed in this thesis, is aimed to serve as an intelligent design tool for the conceptual design stage of the mechanical design process. This sketching software, Sketch Pad for Windows, closely mimics the traditional paper-and-pencil sketching environment by allowing the user to sketch freely on the computer...

Kinematic analysis of walking machine foot trajectory

Creator:: Su, I-chih
Abstract:: A method to design foot trajectory in Cartesian coordinates for a six-leg walking machine is presented in this thesis. The walking machine is based on the geometry of the darkling beetle. The walking procedure developed by Y.S. Baek is introduced first to provide step length and leg swing time for...

Radiation from an infinite plane to parallel rows of infinitely long tubes - hottel extended

Creator:: Qualey, Douglas L.
Abstract:: A two-dimensional model for predicting the rate of radiation heat transfer for the interior of an industrial furnace is described. The model is two-dimensional due to the assumptions of the heat source as an infinite radiating plane and the heat sink as rows of parallel tubes that are both infinite...

Computational modeling of Lorentz force induced mixing in alkali seeded diffusion flames

Creator:: Thompson, Jon Ira
Abstract:: Lorentz forces provide a unique method for the control and mixing of gas flows without the physical intrusion of objects into the flow. Lorentz forces arise when an electric current is passed through a volume in the presence of a magnetic field. The interaction between the electric current and the...

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Solid/liquid phase change in small passageways : a numerical model

Creator:: Coven, Patrick J.
Abstract:: During the operation of phase-change ink-jet printers a bubble formation phenomenon often occurs. These bubbles are detrimental to the operation of the printer and substantial efforts are made to remove them. The objective of this research was 1: to develop a fundamental understanding of how bubble or void formation occurs...

Monte Carlo simulation of radiation heat transfer in a three-dimensional enclosure containing a circular cylinder

Creator:: Hong, Seung-Ho
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creep of Gr/BMI composite laminates in compression

Creator:: Tyagi, Sanjeev R.
Abstract:: The main source of the time-dependent behavior of fiber-reinforced composites is their polymeric matrix, which causes concerns about their long term durability. Although for composites where organic fibers such as Graphite are used, the fibers are also a contributing factor. A composite material may exhibit an appreciable amount of creep,...

Experimental and analytical characterization of bidirectional reflectance data for engineering materials

Creator:: Zaworski, Joseph Robert
Abstract:: Bidirectional reflectance is a fundamental property used for the analysis of radiative heat transfer. It is a form of reflectivity in which the spectral and directional dependencies of both the beam incident on a surface and the beam reflected from the surface are specified. A new system has been designed...
