Dynamic Stress From Transverse Impact On Flexural Beams
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Accurate prediction of stress from impact would be very useful to an engineer in the design and analysis phases of a project. Currently one must resort to finite element analysis and experimentation, both of which have ...
Analysis And Design Of A Two-wheeled Robot With Multiple User Interface Inputs And Vision Feedback Control
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
This thesis describes the development of a small, inexpensive, controllable mobile two-wheeled robot. It also describes the development of a software interface which allows several open- and closed-loop control methods to ...
A Numerical Study On The Dynamics Of Bubble Growth And Detachment From An Orifice
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The study of bubble formation from an orifice finds numerous industrial applications which include bubble acoustics in ocean physics and chemical reactors. Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the ...
Fabrication Of PLGA Nanocomposite Using Two Photon Polymerization
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The demand of smaller size 3D structures in scale of several nanometers has significantly increased the need of development of new techniques for micro/nano fabrication. Applications of nanomaterial embedded true 3D ...
Solution To Incompressible Navier Stokes Equations By Using Finite Element Method
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
The finite element method has become a popular method for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. High Reynolds number cases require fine meshes so computational efficiency becomes an important factor ...
Fiber-optic Pressure Sensor For Time-of-flight Measurements In A Shock Wave
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Fiber-optic sensors are widely employed to detect pressures and temperatures precisely. In particular, MEMS-based Ber-optic sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference but may have limitations at high temperatures ...
An Integration Of A Modern Flight Control System Design Technique Into A Conceptual Design Stability And Controls Tool, AeroMech
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-11-01)
The aircraft conceptual design (CD) phase is the most abstract, thus challenging phase of the entire aircraft design process. It is the responsibility of the CD engineer to identify and then to explore various aircraft ...
Experimental Study Of The Effects Of Thermally Conductive Microporous Coatings On Low Heat Flux Pool And Flow Boiling
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
This study examines the effect of the Thermally Conductive Micro-porous Coating (TCMC) developed at the University of Texas at Arlington, on an extended length heater in flow boiling. The study was performed with application ...
Aircraft Conceptual Design - An Adaptable Parametric Sizing Methodology
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Aerospace is a maturing industry with successful and refined baselines which work well for traditional baseline missions, markets and technologies. However, when new markets (space tourism) or new constrains (environmental) ...
Effective Thermal Management Of Electronic Devices From System To Die Level
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In any electronic device, the resistance to the flow of current through the transistors, interconnects, etc. results in a significant heat generation. If this heat is not removed from the device by providing appropriate ...
