Analysis of a counterflow indirect evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification system
(1986)
A solar-fired liquid desiccant cooling and dehumidification system has been proposed, analyzed and simulated on a digital computer. The entire study comprised of three distinct but related stages. The first phase of the ...
Nonlinear analysis of forced piecewise-linear vibration system
(1986)
This study concerns the strong nonlinear dynamic behavior of mechanical systems in presence of a clearance, in which the nonlinearity is induced from the assumed piecewise-linear characteristics of the variation of stiffness ...
Toward a faster mapping onto configuration space for obstacle avoidance in robotics
(1987)
As robotic manipulators become used more widely in industry, there may be a desire to include them in more complicated environments. In such workspaces, obstacle avoidance will be an element of the hierarchical control ...
Finite element analysis of superplastic metal forming processes
(1986)
The commercial development of superplastic materials has provided opportunities for producing complex components using new forming techniques. The available analyses are restricted to specific shapes and other simplified ...
Investigation of gas species generation by electrically exploding wires at low pressure
(1969)
A series of metallic wires of 10.5 inches in length were electrically exploded in a steel chamber 13.625 inches in diameter and 4 feet in length. The gases in the chamber before and after the explosion were determined using ...
The development and evaluation of an instrumentation system for use in scattered light photoelasticity
(1969)
A program was conducted to develop and instrumentation system to be used for obtaining accurate measurements of the interference fringe spacing in scattered light photoelasticity. To circumvent difficulties in modulating ...
On the analytical solution of the nonlinear heat conduction equation
(1970)
The nonlinear heat conduction equations including the influence of internal heat generation are studied. They are applicable to thermally isotropic and anisotropic media having thermal properties that depend on temperature. ...
The control volume finite element method as applied to transient laminar free convection between parallel heated vertical plates
(1987)
The control volume finite element method is applied to transient laminar free convection between vertical parallel heated plates. The results are compared with those obtained from the alternating direction implicit method ...
Analysis of eccentric annular pressure seals : a new solution procedure for determing reactive force and rotordynamic coefficients
(1988)
A new analysis procedure which solves for leakage, reactive force, and rotordynamic coefficients of eccentric annular liquid and gas pressure seals is presented in this dissertation. This analysis procedure is based on a ...
Product design analysis for robotic assembly using extended Group Technology techniques
(1988)
The adaptive ability of robotic assembly systems is often limited by hardware deficiencies. In order to effectively use the available robotic assembly systems, products need to be designed to accommodate current equipment ...
