Tian, Yongzhe (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The thermodynamics of three-dimensional, single-component elastic crystalline solids was developed by Slattery and Lagoudas (2005). Considering the inïnitesimal deformations, the stress can be expressed as a function ...
-
Si, Xiuhua (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The thermodynamic behaviors of multicomponent, elastic, crystalline solids under stress and electro-magnetic fields are developed, including the extension of EulerâÂÂs equation, Gibbs equation, Gibbs-Duhem equation, the ...
-
Bertacchini, Olivier Walter (2011-02-22)The main focus of this research is the transformation induced fatigue behavior of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators undergoing thermally induced martensitic phase transformation. The recent development of aerospace ...
-
Costanzo, Francesco (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The results of the thermodynamic approach to fracture for the cases of a sharp crack without and with a cohesive zone are reviewed and discussed in detail. Particular care is devoted to the crack tip singularity analysis ...
-
Chowdhury, Khairul Alam (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In polymer matrix composites (PMCs) manufacturing processes can induce de- fects, e.g., voids, fiber misalignment, irregular fiber distribution in the cross-section and broken fibers. The effects of such defects can be ...
-
Ballouz, Marc Youssef (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)This study presents the development and application of a new method to predict the lateral static stiffness of piles. This new method is called LATWAK; it consists of a package including the LATWAK Test, the theory behind ...

Chirathadam, Thomas A. (2010-07-14)Metal mesh foil bearings (MMFBs) are a promising low cost gas bearing technology for support of high speed oil-free microturbomachinery. Elimination of complex oil lubrication and sealing system by installing MMFBs in oil ...
-
Karedla-Ravi, Shankar (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)A phenomenological cohesive term is proposed and added to an existing cohesive constitutive law (by Roy and Dodds) to model the crack tip high inertia region proposed by Gao. The new term is attributed to fracture mechanisms ...
-
Marhadi, Kun Saptohartyadi (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)In this study, particle impact damping is measured for a cantilever beam with a particle-filled enclosure attached to its free end. Many particle materials are tested: lead spheres, steel spheres, glass spheres, tungsten ...
-
Whitaker, Kevin William (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The heat transfer resulting from the impingement of a heated circular jet upon a cylinder was experimentally studied. Velocity and temperature profiles of the impinging jets compared favorably with existing theoretical ...
-
Kinra, Vikram K. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994-04-19)In the field of non-destructive evaluation of materials, conventional ultrasonic measurement techniques are limited to materials having a thickness which is relatively large compared to the wavelength of the ultrasonic ...
-
Iyer, Vasudevan Ramakrishna (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The acoustic response of a think, linear-viscoelastic plate is completely described by four of its properties: thickness, wavespeed, density and attenuation. The qualifer "thin" is used to describe a situation when the ...
-
Ganpatye, Atul Shridatta (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)In the design of cryogenic fuel tanks for the next generation Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs), the permeability of liquid hydrogen (LH2) across the thickness of the tank is a critical issue. The rate of permeation of LH2 ...
