  • Development of a laser interferometric dilatometer

    Creator:
    Johnson, Phillip Merle
    Abstract:
    Thermal expansion is one of the most frequently measured physical properties of materials. One of the important methods of detecting and measuring these changes is dilatometry, which is measuring the thermal expansion of the specimen and relating the specimen's expansion to its temperature. Four major types of dilatometers are commonly...

  • Computer-assisted inventory control model for automobile spare parts distribution

    Creator:
    Stephanides, Photis Gregory
    Abstract:
    A model was developed for the inventory control of the Volkswagen spare parts distribution in Greece. The model utilizes the capabilities of a digital computer, and features four systems, the necessary system files and various routines. Flexible statistical forecasting techniques are included for forecasting the distributor parts demand. Computerized procedures...

  • Feasibility study of a surface vehicle utilizing a unitary control system

    Creator:
    Bassett, David Arthur
    Abstract:
    A feasibility and practicality study was made of an automotive-type surface vehicle that employed a centralized or unitized means of control. The control functions consisted of: steering, acceleration, deceleration, clutch actuation, gear changes, turn signal operation and horn actuation. These controls were arranged in such a manner that the driver...

  • A portable pumping system for hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots

    Creator:
    Chang, Terrill John
    Abstract:
    The design and testing of a portable pumping system for use in the hydraulic excavation of commercial crab pots buried by ocean sediment was undertaken. The resulting portable system retained the four major components of the pumping systems presently used by commercial fishermen: engine, pump, fire hose, and nozzle. Because...

  • Analysis and design of a small gas sampling pump

    Creator:
    Tuttle, Kenneth Lewis
    Abstract:
    In an attempt to satisfy an existing need for a small gas sample pump, a proposed design was analyzed and determined to be feasible and a design for a prototype model was produced. The design is of a chemically inert, leak-proof, unlubricated, sliding-vane- type pump. It is designed to pump...

  • Design and construction of a small electric service vehicle

    Creator:
    Holt, Steven Charles
    Abstract:
    In an effort to fill an existing need two small electric service vehicles were designed, constructed, and tested. The first acted as a feasibility study and the second as a design prototype. The vehicles had low cost and the capability of being fabricated by their users as two main design...
