Determining crack-tip stress-field parameters from mixed-mode displacement fields
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The accurate determination of crack-tip stress-field parameters from experimentally obtained displacement patterns is often complicated by the presence of displacement fringes which are not related to the crack-tip field ...
Effect of liquid viscosity and surface tension on atomization of cross injecting sprays
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Experimental investigations have been established to predict an effect of liquid viscosity and surface tension on the droplet size distribution of cross injecting sprays into an air stream as a principal method of fuel ...
Heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a plate heat exchanger

A numerical model of convective heat transfer in a three dimensional channel with baffles
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A numerical investigation of laminar forced convective heat transfer was performed in a three-dimensional channel with baffles in which a uniform heat flux was applied to the top and bottom walls, and the side walls were ...
Numerical simulation of the flow field and the lifting forces in the bristle tip region of a brush seal
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The complicated fluid flow at the tip of a typical bristle within a brush seal is simulated. A numerical model is developed to compute the three-dimensional details in the bristle tip region. Experimental and numerical ...
Evaluation of residual stress gradients in ductile cast iron using critical refracted longitudinal (Lcr) wave technique
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Critically refracted longitudinal (LCR) waves have been investigated as a possible technique for the evaluation of the residual stress gradients present in ductile iron castings. Residual stresses are likely to develop in ...
Correlation of mechanical viscoelastic properties to microstructure of equine cortical bone tissue
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) has long been used as a method of determining viscoelastic mechanical properties of polymeric materials. More recently, DMA has been used for characterizing the fiber/matrix interface in ...
Fuel NOx pollution production during the combustion of a low caloric value fuel gas
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this investigation is to identify and qualify physical mechanisms and parameters that affect the combustion of low caloric value fuel gases (LCVG) and the formation of NO, pollutants produced from fuel ...
An analytical investigation of primary zone combustion temperatures and NOx production for turbulent jet flames using low-BTU fuels
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this research project was to identify and determine the effect of jet burner operating variables that influence combustion of low-BTU gases. This was done by simulating the combustion of a low-BTU fuel in ...
Structural characterization and design optimization of hybrid composite tubes for TLP riser applications
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Composite materials offer a unique opportunity for offshore applications where high stiffness and light weight are the major design criteria. Deep water drilling and production risers are one area where detailed design ...
