A multiscale model for predicting damage evolution in heterogeneous viscoelastic media
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A multiple scale theory is developed for the prediction of damage evolution in heterogeneous viscoelastic media. Asymptotic expansions of the field variables are used to derive a global scale viscoelastic constitutive ...

Phase control in the synthesis of yttrium oxide nano and micro-particles by flame spray pyrolysis
(2009-05-15)
The project synthesizes phase pure Yttria particles using flame spray pyrolysis, and to experimentally determines the effect of various process parameters like residence time, adiabatic flame temperature and precursor ...
On improving performance and conserving power in cluster-based web servers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Efficiency and power conservation are critical issues in the design of cluster systems
because these two parameters have direct implications on the user experience and the
global need to conserve power. Widely adopted, ...
Turn-of-the-nut tightening of anchor bolts
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Double-nut anchor bolt systems are used in the erection of traffic signal poles, high-mast luminaries, and other highway appurtenances. An absence of a tightening standard for such systems decreases the confidence in their ...
