Numerical solution for the transient temperature field and thermoelastic stresses of a homogeneous spherical fuel element with variable surface heat transfer
(1970)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the temperature distribution and thermoelastic stress distribution in a homogenous spherical element under transient conditions with internal heat generation and variable ...
Cumulative damage under reversed transverse shear superimposed upon static tension
(1977)
Cylindrical specimens of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy were subjected to reversed shear stress and static mean stress to study the effect of mean static tensile stress on cumulative fatigue damage under reversed shear stress. The ...
Birefringent coating analysis of a particulate composite
(1971)
This study, using the method described by Hartley and Rao [10], derives confidence regions for the ratios of variances in random model. Each region is compared with a confidence region derived by Wald [22]. We derived ...
The evaporation of a thin liquid film from a solid surface
(1971)
Essentially two basic theories attempt to account for the heat flux in nucleate pool boiling. The first theory assumes that the larger fraction of thermal energy transfer results from the disturbance by bubble action of ...
Structural optimization utilizing approximated structural behavior
(1973)
This dissertation presents an investigation of the feasibility of using approximated structural behavior in the optimization of plane truss and plane frame structures. Design variables are limited to the cross-sectional ...
An elastohydrodynamic investigation of time dependent pumping ring operation
(1973)
This research is a theoretical investigation of the transient operation of a fluid-mechanical device known as a pumping ring. The purpose of this device is to pump small amounts of fluid from a lower to a higher pressure ...
Criterion for failure under reversed transverse shear superimposed upon static tension
(1974)
A stress testing machine was designed and built to study the combined effect of mean static stress and reversed shear stress on the fatigue life of a material. Aluminum alloy 7075-T6 was tested under different combinations ...
A numerical method for solving the generalized heat conduction equation
(1974)
A general shaped one-dimensional heat conducting body with side convection in a condition of steady state is formulated numerically, in dimensionless form, by dividing the body into elements and considering an energy balance ...
Solutions of the general heat conduction equation by comparative methods
(1971)
A generalized equation for the transient temperature response of a body, initially in equilibrium with the surroundings, subjected to a step change in the temperature of the two faces and with a constant rate of internal ...
An investigation of the change of Poisson's ratio during elastic-plastic transition
(1972)
An experimental investigation of the variation in Poisson's ratio during elastic-plastic transition of a mild steel is presented. It emphasizes the relation of deformation induced thermal events to mechanical events of ...
