Nonlinear adaptive control using radial basis function approximants
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The purpose of this research is to present an adaptive control strategy using the radial basis function approximation method. Surface approximation methods using radial basis function approximants will first be discussed. ...
Normal shock solutions to the viscous shock layer equations including thermal, chemical, thermodynamic, and radiative nonequilibrium
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
An existing axisymmetric body viscous shock layer code including chemical, thermal, and thermodynamic nonequilibrium and nonequilibrium radiative gasdynamic coupling is adapted to simulate the one-dimensional flow within ...
Systems integration and upgrade of an Engineering Flight Simulator
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents the system integration and upgrade of the Texas A&M Flight Mechanics Laboratory Engineering Flight Simulator (EFS). This upgrade replaced the previous EFS, a simplistic design that did not resemble ...
Design and analysis of large deformation spiral springs
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis presents the analysis, design and construction of spiral springs for use in the Microgravity Simulator at Phillips Laboratory at Kirkland AFB in New Mexico. A finite element analysis to determine the behavior ...
The effect of tangential blowing on boundary-layer profiles
(Texas A&M University, 1967)
Many methods for the control of boundary layer separation are currently being used. These include the control of body shape, smoothness, suction, slots, slats, or the use of a tangential blowing air jet. Other suggested ...
The measurement of non-linear damping in metal-matrix composites
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis is concerned with the measurement of non-linear (i.e. strain amplitude dependent) intrinsic material damping in continuous fiber reinforced metalmatrix composites. The particular MMC studied is a 4-ply, [O︢]S, ...
Development of a high-frame-rate high-resolution particle image velocimetry system and applications to the characterization of synthetic jet actuators
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis presents the hardware development for two high-frame-rate particle image velocimetry systems. One of them is based on the use of a high-speed film camera, with a frame-rate of up to 10,000 frames per second and ...
Recent experiences with error estimation and adaptivity
(Texas A&M University, 1991)
