The formulation and computer implementation of element-free Galerkin method for Euler-Bernoulli beam theory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is used to solve second and fourth-order one-dimesional problems. Moving least square (MLS) approximation is used to generate shape functions for the EFG model. MLS method is discussed ...
Prediction and measurement of the rotordynamic response of an automotive turbocharger with floating ring bearings
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The present investigation advances a rotordynamic analysis of an automotive turbocharger with floating ring bearings. Each fluid film of the floating ring bearing is analyzed using a finite element model. The model ...
Consecutive scanning scheme: applications to localization and navigation for mobile robots in a dynamic environment
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents a mobile robot localization and obstacle detection algorithm based on consecutive range sensor scans. For a known environment, a mobile robot may scan the environment using a range sensor which can ...
Prediction of MPEG-coded video source traffic using neural networks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
One of the most popular standards used for storing, delivering and viewing real-time streaming media over the Internet is MPEG. The time-series representing frame/VOP sizes of an MPEG sequence is extremely noisy and has ...
A new approach to the detail design phase of the IIDE Design Process through insights from software design
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Engineering Design Process has been described in different ways by means of different approaches. Attempts to compare the Design Process in mechanical engineering with design in other fields have been made. This thesis ...
Classification concepts from object oriented software design applied to engineering design
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The objectives of this research were to study and explore Object Oriented Design, as applied in software design, and identify those principles and concepts that could be applied in engineering design to make it more ...
Characterization of the electron beam cure process of an epoxy-initiator system
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
For over forty years high energy electrons have been used to change polymer structure and properties. In this thesis we study the potential use of a high energy electron beam (e-beam) to replace the thermal curing method ...
