(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)First, the continuum equations of motion are referred to the initial structural configuration and then linearized with respect to the displacement increments to obtain a form of the so-called total Lagrangian formulation ...
-
(2012-10-19)The feasibility and characterization of a novel diaphragmless shock tube was examined at the National Aerothermochemistry Laboratory at Texas A&M University. The goal was to design a facility that reliably produces shock ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)A solution procedure is developed and evaluated for the solution of nonlinear dynamic structural problems. The nonlinear equations of motion are written using the finite element method with geometric nonlinearities and ...
-
(2010-07-14)The solution of optimal control problems through the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation offers guaranteed satisfaction of both the necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality. However, finding an exact solution ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An unsteady, hydrodynamic model of the impact of a low strength projectile on a rigid or semi-rigid target has been developed. Impact tests of various materials including birds, gelatin, and RTV rubber have been conducted ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)At present, a number of theories exist for the calculation of lift on delta wings with leading edge separation. Of the accepted theories, all but one are based upon the assumption of very small aspect ratio - the exception ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)The objective of this research is to present a symmetric stiffness matrix for incompressible hyperelastic materials in the case of plane strain, axisymmetric and three-dimensional problems solved by the finite element ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)A method for analyzing a two-dimensional flow over non-uniform surfaces has been developed. The method of analysis includes: (1) the development of a general transformation in which variable spacing in the streamwise and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)The problem presented in this manuscript is the formulation of a mathematical model of an explosive propellant lined hypervelocity projectile launcher. The model is used to perform a parametric study to assess the various ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The primary objective of this research was to develop a definitive theory on the cause of wing rock. The study was based on dynamic measurements in both a water tunnel and a wind tunnel on a sharp-edged delta wing with an ...
