A neuro-fuzzy system for tool condition monitoring in metal cutting
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Metal cutting operations constitute a majority of all manufacturing activities. The detection of tool wear is rudiment to the smooth functioning of the metal cutting operation. In this thesis, the complex yet essential ...
Development of plutonium aerosol fractionation system
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

Six degree of freedom automated alignment using a passive, smart target
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
This work describes a measurement and control strategy for both position and orientation alignment between two objects. The automated alignment system, described herein, employs a reflective, passive ( requiring no power ...
A finite element model of the turbulent flow field in a centrifugal impeller
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

Elastic moduli of nickel and iron aluminides
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
A research program has been completed on the dynamic elastic modulus measurements for several nickel and iron aluminide based intermetallics. The PUCOT (piezoelectric ultrasonic composite oscillator technique) was used ...
Prediction of characteristics of two dimensional turbulent wakes under the influence of streamline curvature and zero, positive and negative pressure gradients
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The development of a wake flow downstream of a cylindrical rod within a curved channel under turbomachinery flow conditions such as streamline curvature and zero, positive and negative pressure gradients has been investigated ...
Finite element study of Lamb waves: modeling techniques and applications
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The intent of this thesis research is to investigate Lamb waves numerically and to establish PC-based finite element modeling techniques, using a commercial code, for Lamb waves. This investigation provides concurrent ...
Controlled heat transfer of hot rolled products on the cooling bed
(Texas A&M University, 1993)

Oxidation resistant carbon-carbon composites: the effect of temperature dependent matrix material properties on laminate response
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The structural analysis of carbon-carbon (C-C) composites is a research area of increasing importance. As the use of the materials expands towards more demanding aerospace applications, it is of critical importance to ...
The characterization of Lamb and Rayleigh waves in plates with ramp-like changes in thickness
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The research described in this thesis uses broadband laser generation and detection techniques to investigate acoustic wave propagation in wedge type structures. The interrogating waves were generated by a Q-switched ND:YAG ...
