Non-destructive surface characterization of carburized steel using Rayleigh waves
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The research described in this thesis involves the use of surface acoustic waves to interrogate materials with property gradients, such as carburized steel, for depth of the surface treatment. A 3.5 MHz wedge transducer ...
The design and development of a high-speed digital imaging system
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The goal of this research was to develop a high-speed digital imaging system is a for optically recording dynamic experimental mechanics events. Optical imaging ' valuable tool in the field of experimental mechanics because ...
Measuring the viscoelastic properties of polytetrafluoroethylene copolymers at ultrasonic frequencies
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Since polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and its copolymers are insoluble in most common solvents, direct measurement of their molecular weight distribution by conventional techniques such as size exclusion chromatography (SEC) ...
An evaluation of an optically-based, cylinder pressure sensor in a single-cylinder, research, diesel engine
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Engineers have long searched for a viable method to reliably measure cylinder pressure in real-world, internal combustion engines during normal operation. Although many devices to measure cylinder pressure in a laboratory ...
A thermodynamic analysis of the rotary-vee internal combustion engine
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The rotary-vee is a novel and unusual two-stroke cycle internal combustion engine. The rotary-vee engine is unique in that the combustion chamber and port design is very similar to a reciprocating two stroke engine, however, ...
Flow visualization of molten alloys using real-time neutron radiography
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The objective of this research is to visualize the flow of molten alloys using real-time neutron radiography. Initial experiments were performed using solder (50% tin, 50% lead), with nickel tracer particles, heated in a ...
Relations between the ultrasonic elastic moduli of compact bone and tissue microstructure
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Haversian compact bone behaves as a mildly transversely isotropic material that can be modeled as a fiber reinforced composite material. The method of ultrasound is appropriate for estimating moduli provided that the ...
Digital image processing of coal stream combustion
(Texas A&M University, 1994)

A study of numerical methods to solve quasi one-dimensional, unsteady, compressible viscous flow with shock
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The numerical simulation of a quasi one-dimensional internal flow in a subsonicsupersonic nozzle is obtained. Shocks due to high pressure ratio are computed for both inviscid and viscous flows, using an original two point ...
