Smoldering Combustion in Horizontal Dust Layers.
(1983)
It has been shown by experimental studies and accidental occurrences in industrial facilities that a layer of organic dust can, under certain conditions, undergo sustained smoldering combustion. The purpose of this ...
Applications of Stochastic Differential Equations in the Kinetics of Magnetized Plasmas.
(1983)
A general theory of stochastic differential equations is developed based on the method of Stratonovitch. The results are more general than in previous work because here the r and om fluctuations and the r and om initial ...
Recognition of Partially Occluded Parts (Vision, Robotics, Two-Dimensional).
(1986)
A survey is provided of previous work on methods for the recognition of partially occluded parts. Several algorithms discussed in the survey are implemented and described in detail. Following this, a new method for solving ...
The Effect of Injection Molding Conditions on the Near-Surface Rubber Morphology, Surface Chemistry, and Adhesion Performance of Semi-Crystalline and Amorphous Polymers.
(2010)
This thesis investigated the effect of injection molding processing variables, resin formulation and mold material on the resulting morphology and properties of semi-crystalline and amorphous polymers in parts molded on ...
Microwave Curing of Composites.
(1983)
Models were developed which describe the interaction between linearly polarized transverse electromagnetic waves or isotropic electromagnetic wave and continuous fiber-reinforced organic matrix composites, and which simulate ...
Stochastic initialization in steady state simulations.
(1988)
The goal of steady-state simulation is often to obtain point and interval estimators for a steady-state parameter. The technique of making independent and identically distributed replications is a simple way to obtain these ...
The Measurement of Texture Using Backscattered Electrons (Surface Finish, Roughness).
(1986)
The design and development of a device to quantitatively measure surface texture using backscattered electrons (BSE) is described. Both theoretical and engineering considerations are discussed. Four BSE detectors, located ...
An Investigation on Hill's 1979 Anisotropic Yield Criterion.
(1987)
The four special cases of Hill's 1979 anisotropic yield criterion were studied analytically and experimentally. Mathematical conditions for convexity of the yield loci were established and applied to the four cases of ...
Finite-Element Investigations Into the General Energy Equation (Solidification, Casting(S), Phase-Change).
(1986)
The finite-element simulation of heat transfer and metal-casting solidification is discussed. New techniques of latent-heat representation, analysis of surface fluxes throughout the finite-element domain, and specific metal ...
A Millimeter-Wave Radar Microfabrication Technique and Its Application in Detection of Concealed Objects.
(2012)
Millimeter-wave (MMW) radars are envisioned for a number of safety and security applications such as collision-avoidance, navigation and standoff target detection in all weather conditions. This work focuses on two MMW ...
