Quantitative supersonic flow visualization by hydraulic analogy
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The hydraulic analogy, which forms the basis for the phics. current investigation, can be used to study supersonic gas flows with great ease by means of a water table. As a result of the analogy, water heights in free ...
Modeling of air brakes for onboard diagnostics of heavy trucks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Accidents involving commercial vehicles have disastrous consequences; most of the times they result in human fatalities, environmental damage, traffic congestion leading to fuel wastage and associated productivity losses. ...
An experimental investigation into oil mist lubrication
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Oil mist lubrication offers many advantages over sump lubrication. Unfortunately, mist lubrication generates sub-micrometer sized aerosol particles (fines) that escape from the oil mist lubrication system. These particles ...
Using ultrasonic techniques to predict fracture toughness of AISI 4137 alloy steel
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Previous studies have indicated the possibility of using ultrasonic attenuation as a nondestructive tool for predicting fracture toughness of metals. In all these studies, the fracture toughness was varied by changing the ...
Genetic algorithm based tomographic flow visualization
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A new nonlinear tomographic flow visualization technique for use in limited data situations is developed using techniques from the emerging field of evolutionary computing. The new technique uses both pure and hybrid genetic ...
Improving the searching abilities of a real-valued genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This investigation shows that a genetic algorithm seems to be able to search a solution space more effectively with the addition of a gradient-based local improvement scheme. The objective of this research was to determine ...
Rotordynamic evaluation of frequency dependent impedances of hole-pattern gas damper seals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Two hole-pattern seals are compared with one smooth bore seal. The two hole-pattern seals have cell depths of 2.03 mm and 3.18 mm with a cell diameter of 1.59 mm. The hole area density factor for both hole-pattern seals ...

The bending and dynamic mechanical properties of cortical bone: the effects of sodium fluoride and the relationship to physical properties
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Bone is a complex organic composite material. The graphics. interface between the mineral and organic phases of bone is significant both to medicine and to the biokinetics, a field which seeks to create advanced synthetic ...
