Effects of cryogenic equal channel angular deformation on copper 101
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Grain size in polycrystalline metallic materials significantly influences physical and mechanical properties. At room temperature, large grain size is generally associated with low strength, hardness and ductility. Fine ...
Simulation and Optimization of Cogeneration Power Plant Operation Using an Energy Optimization Program
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The operation of a combined cycle cogeneration power plant system is complicated because of the complex interactions among components as well as the dynamic nature of the system. Studies of plant operation through experiments ...
A study of the effects of eccentricity on honeycomb annular gas seals
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Results are presented which show the effects of eccentricity on high pressure honeycomb and smooth annular gas seals. The results of the experiments indicate the ability to utilize centered seal solutions for rotordynamic ...
Improving the reliability of microelectronic packaging through core-shell rubber technology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The field of microelectronics is currently in high demand considering the many applications it is used for. With this demand, several concerns are raised to improve the reliability while in use. The microelectronic device ...
On a class of inhomogeneous deformations of an incompressible Mooney-Rivlin solid
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This work is devoted to the study of a specific inhomogeneous deformation in incompressible Mooney-Rivlin and neo-Hookean materials. The deformation under study is a case of "proportional stretch". Classes of models that ...
On-line implementation of an adaptive speed filter and its experimental demonstration
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Sensorless speed estimation in induction machines is important for numerous applications like speed control and fault detection. Sensors are expensive and they are not reliable enough to be used in rugged industrial ...
Development and implementation of algorithms used in ground and internet traffic monitoring
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Two different problems have been analyzed, one involving Traffic Management Centers (TMCs), while the other involves Internet traffic monitoring at a network router. TMCs detect traffic incidents and manage traffic using ...
Geometric nonlinear analysis of microbeam under electrostatic loading
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study investigates the behavior of a microbeam subjected to electrostatic loading. Two devices, namely, a tungsten microtweezer and a clamped-clamped beam which is part of a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS), are ...
Estimating changes in the mechanical properties of the femur in the adult and aged rat due to adult-onset alcohol consumption
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Numerous studies have shown that alcohol has a disturbing effect on the mechanical properties of the skeleton. To determine whether alcohol has a deleterious effect on the adult skeleton, fifty-four, nine-month old, female ...
Specific grinding energy causing thermal damage in helicopter gear steels
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Machining operations are an intrinsic part of the manufacturing industry and, as a result, they are under constant scrutiny for development and technological enhancements. Thermal damage that occurs during machining ...
