  • Cluster partitioning approaches to parallel Monte Carlo simulation on multiprocessors

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    We consider the parallelization of Monte Carlo algorithms for analyzing numerical models of charge transport used in semiconductor device physics. Parallel algorithms for the standard k-space Monte Carlo simulation of a three band model of bulk GaAs on hypercube multicomputers are first presented. This Monte Carlo model includes scattering due...

  • Thermo-hygro rheological behavior of materials used in the manufacture of wood-based composites

    Creator:
    Ren, Shan
    Abstract:
    Thermo-hygro-rheology of wood-adhesive systems plays an important role during the hot pressing process of wood based composites. The principal objective of this research is to quantitatively study the thermo-hygro rheological characteristics of wood-adhesive systems used in such composites. This is with a view to providing material characteristics which may be...

  • 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...

  • Rheological behavior of Douglas-fir as related to the process of drying

    Creator:
    Wu, Qinglin
    Abstract:
    Large inelastic strain occurs inside a piece of lumber during drying. The strain consists of several components such as elastic, plastic, creep, shrinkage and mechano-sorptive effect. The mechanical behavior of the whole board during drying is determined by the behavior of individual strain components and their interactions. Whereas limited investigations...

  • A study of laser generated Rayleigh and Lamb waves in graphite/epoxy composites

    Creator:
    Park, Heeyong
    Abstract:
    The application of laser generated ultrasonics was first demonstrated in the mid-seventies and has shown good potential when applied to isotropic materials. However, its use with composite materials is still in the early stages of development. This study explores the potential for application of laser generated Rayleigh and Lamb waves...

  • 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...
