In-process tool life evaluation by cutting force ratio analysis
(1980)
Optimization and control of automated manufacturing processes have been rendered difficult due to the probabilistic nature of tool life. Several adaptive control systems, developed to monitor machining operations, have ...
On asynchronous running of synchronous machines and related mechanical stresses
(1984)
Asynchronous running of synchronous generators is considered during system disturbances with particular reference to shaft stresses. Such an abnormal running may lead to mechanical stresses in the turbine-generator shaft ...
Stratified and turbulent wind flow over two-dimensional topographies : a numerical model
(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 ...
The effects of achievement and gender on decision-making skill
(1980)
This study used college students to examine the effects of achievement and gender upon decision-making skill during an ego-involved and a non-ego-involved task while controlling for intelligence, locus of control, and ...
A model for predicting response of nonlinear materials subjected to thermomechanical loading
(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 ...
Reliability modeling using the left-truncated logistic distribution
(1982)
This research applies the left-truncated logistic distribution to reliability modeling. The resulting models are applicable when the system components are subject to wearout and their individual time-to-failures can be ...
Management implications of recruitment seasonality in the Texas fishery for the brown shrimp, Penaeus aztecus : a simulation study
(1985)
The relationship between recruitment seasonality and ordination of alternative management policies for the Texas brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) fishery is explored through utilization of a general stochastic simulation ...
Variance components : estimates and diagnostics
(1985)
Numerical and graphical diagnostics are developed for investigating the usual analysis of variance estimators of variance components that arise in balanced, random effects models. Various linear combinations of variance ...
A commodity specific policy simulation model for U.S. agriculture
(1983)
The objective of this study was to develop a commodity-specific policy simulation model emphasizing commodity production and marketing relationships, input demand, and financial stocks and flows which could be incorporated ...
Inferences on interincome inequality parameters of a joint distribution of components of income and commodity expenditure
(1983)
This dissertation is concerned with making inferences about interincome inequality parameters of a joint distribution function of different components of income and expenditures on various commodity groups. This study ...
