Experimental investigation of the condensation phenomenon in micro-grooved plates
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The addition of micro-grooves to a condensing surface has been proposed with the aim of reducing the film thickness so that the condensation heat transfer coefficient is increased. Micro-grooves promote the removal of ...
Specific grinding energy causing thermal damage in precision gear steels
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This project is aimed at developing a better understanding of thermal damage caused by grinding of precision gear materials and also a model to predict the onset of burn in AISI 9310 gear steel. This study is concerned ...
Consolidation of zirconium-based metallic glass powder by equal channel angular extrusion
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this study, amorphous Zr₅₈.₅Nb₂.₈Cu₁₅.₆Ni₁₂.₈Al₁₀.₃ (Vitreloy 106a) gas-atomized powder was consolidated by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). Several copper cans were filled with the powder, vacuum encapsulated ...
A framework for assembly sequence planning for computer aided design of mechanical assemblies
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a framework for interactive assembly sequence panning for mechanical assemblies. Realizing the utility of such a tool that will enable the product engineer to evaluate the assemblability of his designs ...
Modeling and simulation of stable human locomotion using five degree-of-freedom gait model
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Human locomotion involves a highly sophisticated and complex locomotive system. In order to understand how models of such system are built, it is useful to consider the meaning and implication of modeling and simulation ...
Experimental determination of dynamic force coefficients of a pocket damper seal at higher frequencies
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Experimental results are presented for a two-bladed pocket damper seal (PDS) with eight partition walls on a high-speed test rig. The objective of these experiments is to measure damping coefficients, stiffness coefficients ...
Analysis of three-dimensional frames using shear-locking free beam elements based on the third-order shear-deformation theory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In the present research, space frames are studied by incorporating shear-locking-free beam finite element based on the third-order shear deformation theory. Currently, the beam element used in the analysis of frames is ...
Compliant mechanisms
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The motivation for this work has been a variety of motions like navigation of pipelines, insertion operations in assembly, and gripping actions, which require the adaptation of the mechanism to the external constraints, ...
On-line implementation of a fault diagnosis system for three-phase induction motors
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Condition monitoring of electric machinery has received increased attention due to the advantages it offers in terms of productivity. Automation of the fault detection and diagnosis processes would not only allow for ...
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 ...
