Thermomechanical modeling of a shape memory polymer
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this work is to demonstrate a Helmholtz potential based approach for
the development of the constitutive equations for a shape memory polymer undergoing
a thermomechanical cycle. The approach is motivated by the ...
Development of dynamic models of reactive distillation columns for simulation and determination of control
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dynamic models of a reactive distillation column have been developed and implemented in this work. A model describing the steady state behavior of the system has been built in a first step. The results from this steady ...
Modeling the pneumatic subsystem of a S-cam air brake system
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The air brake system is one of the critical components in ensuring the safe operation of any commercial vehicle. This work is directed towards the development of a fault-free model of the pneumatic subsystem of the air ...
Modeling fluid flow through single fracture using experimental, stochastic, and simulation approaches
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research presents an approach to accurately simulate flow experiments through a fractured core using experimental, stochastic, and simulation techniques. Very often, a fracture is assumed as a set of smooth parallel ...
New methodology for transmission line relay testing and evaluation using advanced tools
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Protective relays are important parts of the power system. The protection guards valuable equipment, and protective relays play a vital role in performing the task. The relay detects fault conditions within an assigned ...
Characterization of livestock herds in extensive agricultural settings in southwest Texas
(2009-05-15)
Because of an ever-increasing threat of foreign animal disease outbreaks in the
United States, there is a desire to develop strategies to prevent the occurrence of a
foreign animal disease and control an outbreak if it ...
Modeling the elastic and plastic response of single crystals and polycrystalline aggregates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Understanding the elastic-plastic response of polycrystalline materials is an
extremely difficult task. A polycrystalline material consists of a large number of crystals
having different orientations. On its own, each ...
North Caspian Basin: 2D elastic modeling for seismic imaging of salt and subsalt
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The North Caspian Basin (NCB) contains a significant number of major oil
fields, some of which are yet to be put into production. The reason why some of these
fields are not yet put into production is the exploration ...
Modeling of Seismic Signatures of Carbonate Rock Types
(2011-02-22)
Carbonate reservoirs of different rock types have wide ranges of porosity and
permeability, creating zones with different reservoir quality and flow properties. This
research addresses how seismic technology can be used ...
Observations and modeling of mixing processes in a fresh water reservoir - Valle de Bravo (Mexico)
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current understanding of small-scale physical processes, such as mixing, in tropical
water bodies is lacking and observations are scarce at best. This study sheds more
light on these processes through a combined ...
