The Structure of Detonations in Dust-Oxidizer Mixtures.
(1985)
A model for the reaction zone of a dust detonation taking two phase flow effects and wall losses into account has been developed in the current thesis. The singularity of the Chapman-Jouguet plane and thermal non-equilibrium ...
Lightweight Automotive Composite Materials.
(1982)
The goal of this research is to investigate the feasibility of a stamping process for high-strength continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites by studying two key features; namely, fiber rearrangement during ...
Knowledge-based Methods for Evaluation of Engineering Changes.
(2010)
Engineering Changes (ECs) are an integral part of a product's lifecycle. A proposed EC can affect several lifecycle-wide components. Detailed evaluation of each proposed EC or its effect is time-consuming and inefficient. ...
An Investigation Into the Effects of Bulk Motion and Flame Front Distortion on the Rate of Energy Release in a Constant Volume Bomb.
(1982)
A two-dimensional model has been formulated for combustion in disc-shaped chambers at constant volume where the fluid mechanics play a key role. The high Reynolds number flow was simulated with the discrete vortex method. ...
Shock Waves in Transonic Flows At Moderate Reynolds Number.
(1984)
The behavior of shock waves in transonic flow with varying Reynolds and Pr and tl numbers has been examined using analytical and numerical methods. The method of matched asymptotic expansions has been used to provide ...
Biomechanical Aspects of Cumulative Trauma to Tendons and Tendon Sheaths.
(1981)
Cumulative trauma disorders of the tendons and tendons sheaths in the h and and wrist have been associated with continuous repetitive tasks. This investigation was designed to examine the biomechanical aspects of tendon-tendon ...
Evaporation of Droplets Containing Soluble Solids and Protein Suspensions.
(1985)
An experimental apparatus was designed and constructed which made possible the measurement of the size and temperature of drops suspended in a hot air stream. The size history of the drops was recorded as pictures taken ...
Integrated metabolic dynamics in the human red blood cell.
(1988)
The experimental investigation of the red cell over last three decades has accumulated an extensive biochemical data on its enzymes and metabolites. However, until now, a quantitative integration and interpretation of all ...
Contact and impact problems using adaptive finite element methods.
(1989)
Finite element analyses of friction contact problems in linear elasticity and large deformation impact problems are presented. Error analysis and adaptive methods for linear elastic problems are discussed and extended to ...
Removal of Humic Substances and Thm Precursors By Activated Carbon: Effects of Heterogeneity, Chemical Pretreatment, and System Characteristics.
(1985)
This research has investigated the removal of humic substances from water by activated carbon and the associated reduction of THM formation. Several operational conditions and process configurations are examined to quantify ...
