A product development process measurement methodology applied to small manufacturing companies

Creator:: Schlegel, Stephen C.
Abstract:: The implementation of concurrent engineering into many large companies has greatly improved their product development processes. These companies have seen significant gains in quality and customer satisfaction with reduced product costs, defects, and time-to-market (Lake, 1992). Many large companies have successfully employed this relatively new product development philosophy. However, smaller...

The application of a band variable-inertia flywheel to an urban transit bus

Creator:: Moosavi-Rad, Hamid
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates by means of computer simulation the potential of a Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel (BVIF) to store energy for an urban transit bus. Replacing both a fixed-inertia flywheel (FIF) and a continuously variable transmission (CVT), the Band Variable-Inertia Flywheel is capable of accelerating a vehicle from rest to a...

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,...

Design, analysis, and validation of composite c-channel beams

Creator:: Koski, William C.
Abstract:: A lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) c-channel beam was previously designed using analytical theory and finite element analysis and subsequently manufactured through a pultrusion process. Physical testing revealed the prototype did not meet the bending and torsional stiffness of the beam model. An investigation revealed that the manufactured prototype...

An experimental investigation of combustion products through a flat, laminar, pre-mixed hydrocarbon-air flame

Creator:: Brenchley, David Lee
Abstract:: Flat, laminar, premixed hydrocarbon-air flames were stabilized on a porous-plate burner. In addition to temperature profiles, concentration profiles were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, acetylene, propylene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. Dead space thickness, luminous flame zone thickness and hydrocarbon disappearance point responses were also monitored....

A study of compression loading of composite laminates

Creator:: Berbinau, Pierre J.
Abstract:: The compressive behavior of continuous fiber composites is not as well understood as their tensile behavior because research and industrial applications have until recently focused on the latter. Furthermore, most theoretical and experimental studies on the compression of composites have examined the case of unidirectional specimens with fibers along the...

Processing of laser interferometric signals for small displacement measurements

Creator:: Peng, Gwo-sheng
Abstract:: Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters approach, are based on signal phase calculation and are able to replace complex fringe counting electronic circuits. The matrix operation provides an approach...

Evaluation of copper to superconductor area ratio measurement techniques for niobium-titanium composite superconducting wire

Creator:: Pyon, Taeyoung
Abstract:: Measurement of the copper to superconductor ratio (Cu/SC) in composite superconducting wires is necessary for process control, quality assurance, and characterization of the final wire properties. A comparison has been made of three techniques for measuring the Cu/SC ratio on a set of commercial wires produced for the Superconducting SuperCollider...
