The effect of static and dynamic misalignment on ball bearing radial stiffness for variable axial preloads
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The primary objective of the research project was to determine through rotordynamic computer modeling and experimental testing, the radial stiffness of a symmetric angular contact ball bearing for static and dynamic ...
Effect of doping in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor composites
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the solid solubility limit of dopants in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors. We have studied the effect of Mn doping Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. The electrical resistivity and critical temperature ...
Automatic Calibration of a Building Energy Performance Model and Remote Fault Detection For Continuous Commissioning Using a Global Optimization Program
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Building simulation models have been used for many years to forecast and analyze a building's energy consumption. Over the past several decades, building energy simulation programs and input techniques have been developed ...
A numerical study of compressible flow in labyrinth seals with rub grooves
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A labyrinth sea] uses a series of knife blades and cavities to create a high frictional flow path that turns a pressure potential into kinetic energy, which is then dissipated as heat. An existing numerical model is extended ...

Quantitative assessment of disassembly difficulty in product recycling
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Design of products for case-of-disassembly is a key aspect of product recycling. Similarly, design tools which allow alternative designs to be compared with respect to case-of-disassembly are of great importance. An improved ...
Vibration suppression of laminated composite plates using embedded smart material layers
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this study, a complete theoretical formulation of laminated composite plates with integrated smart material layers that serve as sensors and/or actuators is presented for the vibration suppression of laminated composite ...
Analysis of a flexible polymeric film with imbedded micro heat pipes for spacecraft radiators
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In response to the pursuit of interplanetary travel and a continuous human presence in space, there is increasing focus within the space industry on spacecraft designs that change configuration within the space environment. ...
Grain refinement in bulk pure tantalum using equal channel angular extrusion
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
For this study, the effectiveness of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) to improve the material properties and processing characteristics of vacuum arc remelted (VAR) pure tantalum was determined. The primary objectives ...
