The displacement field characterization of two interacting parallel edge cracks in a finite body
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The goals of this research were to: (1) develop a model to represent the displacement field surrounding two interacting, parallel edge cracks; and (2) use this model to investigate the influence of crack separation and ...
Aerosol Penetration Through Transport Lines
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
It is very important to minimize the losses in aerosol transport systems for the Continuous Air Monitors (CAM) to have a prompt and a meaningful alarm and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also Currently ...
Numerical simulation of the flow field and the lifting forces in the bristle tip region of a brush seal
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The complicated fluid flow at the tip of a typical bristle within a brush seal is simulated. A numerical model is developed to compute the three-dimensional details in the bristle tip region. Experimental and numerical ...
Evaluation of residual stress gradients in ductile cast iron using critical refracted longitudinal (Lcr) wave technique
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Critically refracted longitudinal (LCR) waves have been investigated as a possible technique for the evaluation of the residual stress gradients present in ductile iron castings. Residual stresses are likely to develop in ...
An experimental investigation of single and multiple pass high temperature, high pressure paper drying
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The primary drying process used in the paper industry is conventional drying which employs heated, rotating cylinders to evaporate moisture from the paper. One process which may improve energy efficiency is the use of ...
Correlation of mechanical viscoelastic properties to microstructure of equine cortical bone tissue
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) has long been used as a method of determining viscoelastic mechanical properties of polymeric materials. More recently, DMA has been used for characterizing the fiber/matrix interface in ...
Fuel NOx pollution production during the combustion of a low caloric value fuel gas
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this investigation is to identify and qualify physical mechanisms and parameters that affect the combustion of low caloric value fuel gases (LCVG) and the formation of NO, pollutants produced from fuel ...
An analytical investigation of primary zone combustion temperatures and NOx production for turbulent jet flames using low-BTU fuels
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this research project was to identify and determine the effect of jet burner operating variables that influence combustion of low-BTU gases. This was done by simulating the combustion of a low-BTU fuel in ...
Structural characterization and design optimization of hybrid composite tubes for TLP riser applications
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Composite materials offer a unique opportunity for offshore applications where high stiffness and light weight are the major design criteria. Deep water drilling and production risers are one area where detailed design ...
Enhanced impingement heat transfer using a Self-Oscillating Jet Impingement Nozzle array
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A simple modification to an in-line jet (ILJ) has been proven to significantly increase its heat transfer capabilities. The transport properties of the ILJ were enhanced by the addition of a collar over the nozzle exit. ...
