Characterization of solid-fluid mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this work we develop and investigate a mathematical model for the description of the mechanical behavior of soft, hydrated tissues with significant perfusion. We set up and derive the mathematical description and balance ...
Design and development of an ultrafine particle reflection-time-of-flight mass spectrometer
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The primary motivation for the research is to study the effect of small particles on global climate. The study can also help to understand the dynamics involved with gas to particle conversion, which is being debated to ...
Optical detection of air bubbles trapped in a micro-capillary pore using a laser interferometric backscatter technique
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The laser interferometric backscatter technique has been used to detect the presence of air bubbles trapped inside a micro-capillary pore. A simple experimental setup consists of a low power He-Ne laser, micro-capillary ...
Increasing the robustness of the input-shaping method using adaptive control
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Input-Shaping is a widely used method of suppressing residual vibrations in point-to-point motion of flexible bodies. It is easy to implement and gives good results if the dynamics of the system are known accurately. ...
Heat transfer characteristics of circular impinging jet arrays in an annular section with cross flow effects
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Jet impingement has been shown to be an effective method for enhancing convective heat transfer. There are a variety of applications of impinging jets in industry, including tempering and shaping of glass, annealing of ...
A bulk-flow model of angled injection Lomakin bearings
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A bulk-flow model for determination of the leakage and dynamic force characteristics of angled injection Lomakin bearings is presented. Zeroth- and first-order equations describe the equilibrium flow for a centered bearing ...
Development of a frequency doubled high powered laser diode end-pumped Nd:YVO₄/LBO laser
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The development of a high power solid state laser poses a serious non-trivial task. Several different elements combine to form this complex quantum device. Each of the elements of the laser receives sufficient description ...
Optimization of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear actuator
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this study the geometry of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear motion actuator will be optimized. This will be accomplished by modeling the system through a set of differential equations to be solved in Matlab. ...
Aerosol-to-Hydrosol Transfer Stages for use in bioaerosol sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Single-Jet and Multi-Jet Aerosol to Hydrosol Transfer Stages (AHTS) with cutpoints of 2 and 0.8 []m AD, respectively, were designed and evaluated. Both devices operate at nominal air sampling flow rate of 1 L/min, 0.1% ...
High pressure testing of see-through labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Detailed results are presented for teeth-on-stator labyrinth seals tested under high pressure of 70 bar-a (1015 psi-a) and 52 bar-a (754 psi-a) in the centered position. The seals were tested at pressure ratios of 0.52, ...
