(2009-05-15)Textile composites have a wide variety of applications in the aerospace, sports, automobile, marine and medical industries. Due to the availability of a variety of textile architectures and numerous parameters associated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)First, the continuum equations of motion are referred to the initial structural configuration and then linearized with respect to the displacement increments to obtain a form of the so-called total Lagrangian formulation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Angular singularities for the multigroup neutron diffusion equation are examined. Since the solution to this equation as well as the solution to other engineering equations of interest can exhibit unbounded derivatives at ...
-
(2016-06-13)The main purpose of this work is to study continuous finite element methods for hyperbolic problems. In scalar case, it is shown that using consistent mass matrix is not compatible with the maximum principle. Moreover, we ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The control volume finite element method is applied to transient laminar free convection between vertical parallel heated plates. The results are compared with those obtained from the alternating direction implicit method ...
-
(2012-10-19)The use of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique has become increasingly popular for displacement measurements and for characterizing localized material deformation. In this study, a three-dimensional digital image ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The Control Volume Based Finite Element Method (CVFEM) has been extended in two main aspects. The first is the integration of the vorticity-streamfunction formulation with the CVFEM. The key contribution of this work is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The FCVM has been used to solve both open flow problems and turbulent flow problems. The particular problems chosen for consideration were the flow between infinite parallel plates and the buoyant flow in a square enclosure. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)In most materials, macrocrack extension is accompanied by inelastic phenomena (such as microcracking or plastic deformation) throughout a region surrounding the crack tip. Immediately ahead of the crack tip, strain ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A finite element method is developed for the analysis of two dimensional, transient laminar convective heat transfer. The method is applied to three classes of problems over a range of flow and thermal conditions. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The commercial development of superplastic materials has provided opportunities for producing complex components using new forming techniques. The available analyses are restricted to specific shapes and other simplified ...
-
(2019-08-11)The intense competition between companies especially in automotive industries, pushes the engineers and designers to safer and cheaper products every day. Multi-variable and multi-strength blanks known as Tailor Welded ...
-
(2013-05-02)A co-simulation methodology is explored whereby a finite element code and a multi-body dynamics code featuring flexible cantilevered beams can be coupled and interactively executed. The floating frame of reference formulation ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)In this work, we propose, implement and test two fully automated mesh adaptation methods for 1-D multigroup eigenproblems. The first method is the standard hp-adaptive refinement strategy and the second technique is a ...
-
(2012-07-16)Modeling of the time-dependent behavior of cement paste has always been a difficulty. In the past, viscoelastic behavior of cementitious materials has been primarily attributed to the viscoelastic properties of C-S-H ...
-
(2015-12-12)The work presented in this dissertation focuses on extending a recent effort of developing brittle fracture theory with an aim of achieving bounded crack-tip stress and strain without the use of extra near-tip cohesive ...
-
(2021-07-13)A numerical model is developed for predicting perforation cavity evolution during the early stage of sand production. The objective of this thesis is to propose a new sand-rate-prediction model based on coupling fluid and ...
