Route to, and control of chaos in multidimensional systems
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the dynamic behavior of a given nonlinear system and then control the chaotic behavior of the system within some ranges of the parameters. In the first part of this thesis, we study ...
Experimental evaluation of a metal-mesh bearing damper in a high speed test rig
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Metal mesh is a commercially available material used in many applications including seals, heat shields, filters, gaskets, aircraft engine mounts, and vibration absorbers. This material has been tested in the Turbomachinery ...
Experiments to model the rotordynamic behavior of rub rings and bumpers
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Rub-impact between rotors and stators is a widely studied phenomenon due to its deleterious effects on rotating machinery. When large amplitudes of vibration are developed in rotors due to either imbalance or triggered ...
Ultrasonic measurement of residual stress relaxation in welded steel plates using critically refracted longitudinal waves
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This study investigates whether or not there is a measurable amount of residual transverse stress relaxation in welded steel. This was determined by using two different methods of stress measurement. These methods involved ...
Fault tolerant control of automatically controlled vehicles in response to brake system failures
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Increasing highway traffic congestion and high cost of ics. building new highways have brought out a renewed design of an Automated Highway System (AHS). Since safety is an important issue in the development of an AHS, ...

Structural response of oxidation resistant carbon-carbon composites
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Since carbon-carbon composites maintain their strength at high temperatures, they are attractive candidates for high temperature applications. Although, in oxygen rich environments at temperatures above 500'C, carbon-carbon ...
