Structural response of oxidation resistant carbon-carbon composites
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Since carbon-carbon composites maintain their strength at high temperatures, they are attractive candidates for high temperature applications. Although, in oxygen rich environments at temperatures above 500'C, carbon-carbon ...
Comparison of the Prediction Accuracy of Daily and Monthly Regression Models for Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The measured energy savings from retrofits in commercial buildings are generally determined as the difference between the energy consumption predicted using a baseline model and the measured energy consumption during the ...
Impingement cooling and heat transfer measurement using transient liquid crystal technique
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A heat transfer study on jet impingement cooling is presented. The study focuses on the effect of impingement jet flow rate, jet angle, and flow exit direction on various target surface heat transfer distributions. A ...
Projectile propulsion through a porous supersonic nozzle with application to airguns
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The purpose of this study is to show theoretically and ics. experimentally that a porous barrel can allow pneumatic airgun projectiles to reach velocities in excess of Mach 1 of the gas behind the projectile. Thermodynamic ...
Structural design of a lunar lander spacecraft for the Texas space grant regolith oxygen production experiment
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The focus of this research is the determination of a structural design for the lunar lander spacecraft currently being developed by the Texas Space Grant Consortium to transport a regolith oxygen production experiment to ...
Incorporation and modification of a shear deformable finite element into MARC
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The proposed research focuses on implementing an existing shear deformable composite element as a user element in MARC[]. Furthermore, the element is enhanced by developing an algorithm to accommodate variable thickness ...
An investigation of thermal spray structural reaction injection molded composites

Constitutive model effects on finite element modeling of elastomer behavior in radial interference seal configurations
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Elastomers are becoming more prevalent in everyday products, and it is very important to be able to describe their behavior. Particularly, with advancements in computer hardware and software, the use of finite element ...
Investigation of sonic/subsonic air-blast atomization using Rayleigh- and Mie-scattering visualization techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
To examine the jet mixing in air-blast twin fluid atomization, the sonic and supersonic air jet developments have been exclusively visualized using the Rayleigh scattering principle and the development of liquid spray has ...
Obtaining accurate measurement using redundant sensors
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Conventional wisdom suggests to accomplish accurate measurement, the sensors used must have high precision and excellent dynamic range. This generally results in sensor systems that are complex, costly, and often sensitive ...
