Costanzo, Francesco (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The results of the thermodynamic approach to fracture for the cases of a sharp crack without and with a cohesive zone are reviewed and discussed in detail. Particular care is devoted to the crack tip singularity analysis ...
-
Hogan, Harry Alla (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The use of numerical analysis studies in biomechanics research continues to motivate the pursuit of improved models for biological materials. Micropolar continuum theory has been suggested by some to provide more complete ...
-
Chang, Huang-Tsang (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The objective of this dissertation is to develop a solution algorithm capable of predicting transient thermal/structural response of viscoplastic metallic thin plates exposed to hostile thermal loads. In the second chapter ...
-
Boleman, Randi Marburger (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Biomechanical compression studies at different temperatures were conducted to correlate the biomechanical response of raw bovine Longissimus dorsi muscles varying in USDA Quality Grade with overall sensory tenderness scores. ...
-
Yim, Kyung Bin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)By employing the extended Hamilton principle, both equations of motion and associated boundary conditions are derived for three different models subjected to non-conservative torques: the cantilevered rotor, the uniform ...

Spadaro, Maria Victoria; Moreira, Rosana G.; Keeton, Jimmy T.; Allen, David H. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1999-12-14)A method for estimating the tenderness of a meat product is provided. The method includes determining the stress relaxation coefficient of a meat sample. One or more physical parameters of the meat sample are then determined ...
-
Allen, David H. (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The research begins with a definition of the thermoelastic-plastic-creep continuum and the phenomena which must be predicted in order to obtain a usable theory for modelling the response of this type of medium. Next, several ...
-
Tavakoli, Maryam (2018-11-20)This dissertation aims to examine the high-cycle fatigue behavior of thermite-welded railroad rails. In particular, the occurrence of fatigue defects in web and base regions of the rail is addressed, as frequently reported ...
-
Yen, Shihchieh (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Unburied submarine pipelines resting on soft marine sediments tend to embed themselves into the sediment when subjected to periodic hydrodynamic loading, provided a small amplitude of lateral movement of the pipe is allowed. ...
-
Jeong, Gyusang (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The effect of different cool-down rates from processing temperature on the residual stress evolution in the representative volume element (RVE) of a periodic continuous fiber metal matrix composite monolayer is analyzed ...
-
Groves, Scott Eric (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)A cumulative damage model for predicting the stiffness loss in crossply graphite/epoxy laminates is obtained by applying a thermomechanical constitutive theory for elastic composites with distributed damage. The model ...
-
Holmes, Gale Antrus (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)In the previous phase o f this research project completely phase separated and partially phase separated bimodal epoxy resins were prepared by incorporating a 22,500 weight average molecular weight advanced epoxy resin ...
