An Investigation Of Indeterminate Structures Stressed Beyond The Proportional Limit, Jack B. Joyce
An Investigation Of Indeterminate Structures Stressed Beyond The Proportional Limit, Jack B. Joyce
Civil Engineering ETDs
In the structural field the methods of designing have been geared to the development of materials...In a more current appraisal we see steel and concrete being updated still further. Pre-stressed concrete is a common sight in present day construction work and, to a lesser extent, the educated eye sees rigid frames designed to ultimate load criteria. Here again are cases where materials are studied and found to possess characteristics that are adaptable to advance methods. The key to all such improvements is still the realization and utilization of material properties.
An Acoustic Simulator For Modeling Backscatter Of Electromagnetic Waves, Allen R. Edison
An Acoustic Simulator For Modeling Backscatter Of Electromagnetic Waves, Allen R. Edison
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
Model experiments are commonly employed in situations where a full-scale experiment is uneconomical and where exact theoretical analysis is very difficult. The physical problem is scaled to convenient laboratory dimensions and a means is provided for controlling and measuring the parameters of the experiment. Measurements made in the model system are required to provide information on the time and space variations of functions which describe the real system. When interpreting results it is frequently necessary to consider "scale effects" which arise from certain parameters exerting a different influence in the model than in the real system.
Propagation Between Conducting And Nonconducting Media, Richard H. Williams
Propagation Between Conducting And Nonconducting Media, Richard H. Williams
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
This paper contains a study of the electromagnetic fields caused by electric dipoles located within a highly conductive medium such as the sea. The theoretical treatment of this problem was begun in 1951 with Moore's thesis. "The Theory of Radio Communication between Submerged Submarines." Some subsequent major theoretical treatments of this problem have been published by Wait and Campbell, Lien, Banos and Wesley, and Anderson. All of the above work stems from Sommerfeld's classic paper published in 1909 where he considers the fields in the air caused by a vertical electric antenna located on the interface between the air and …
An Investigation Of The Behavior Of Asphalt Stabilized Sand In Triaxial Compression Testing, Joseph P. Callahan
An Investigation Of The Behavior Of Asphalt Stabilized Sand In Triaxial Compression Testing, Joseph P. Callahan
Civil Engineering ETDs
More and more in highway construction, the engineer is faced with the problem of locating satisfactory materials to be used in the construction of highways. This problem has become very critical in the selection of a satisfactory aggregate to be used in many phases of the construction. In large metropolitan areas and in other regions of the United States unblessed with an abundance of this aggregate, it was found that where once there was no shortage of suitable material, the supplies have now been practically exhausted.
A Study Of A Nonlinear Compensation Network In A Feedback Control System, John F. Taylor
A Study Of A Nonlinear Compensation Network In A Feedback Control System, John F. Taylor
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
This paper is a study of the effect of a nonlinear compensation network on the closed-loop response of a feedback control system.
Physical energy dissipation elements, unlike their usual mathematical models, are often nonlinear. An example of such a nonlinear element is the mechanical damper. Since dissipation elements are used in most types of compensation, the problem of nonlinear compensation is an important one.
The study was performed with two goals in mind. The first was to determine the detrimental effects resulting from the insertion of the nonlinear network. The second was to see if any improvement in system performance …
A Shell-Theory Analysis Of Transient Thermal Stresses In Moderately Thick-Walled Cylinders, Thomas K. Mckinley
A Shell-Theory Analysis Of Transient Thermal Stresses In Moderately Thick-Walled Cylinders, Thomas K. Mckinley
Mechanical Engineering ETDs
This paper investigates the validity of extending the concepts of shell theory to transient thermoelastic problems involving moderately thick-walled shells. The region of study is a moderately thick-walled cylinder which is constrained radially at both ends and is exposed to a uniform, time-dependent heating (or cooling) at one end. The cylinder walls are assumed to be adiabatic, and inertia effects are neglected in the development.
It is concluded from the results of this investigation that the extension of shell theory to moderately thick-walled cylindrical regions subjected to axial, time-dependent temperature variations is an analytical method of approach.

Evaluation Of The Thermal Properties Of Plastic Laminates, Luciano Sedillo
Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs
To insure the proper application of newly developed materials, it is necessary to evaluate their physical and chemical properties. In the case of plastic laminates for use as heat barrier material, thermal diffusivity is an important property. Thermal diffusivity is the parameter which governs the rate of temperature change through a material. Its value depends upon the chemical composition and the physical structure of the material and its temperature.

Comparison Of Pulse And Fm Radar Altimeters Based On Terrain Return Theory, David L. Quinlan
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
In this paper a comparison of pulse of fm radar altimeters is made from the standpoint of the mathematical expressions describing each system’s return signal from terrain at near-vertical incidence. The pulse-fm radar relationships resulting from this comparison facilitates application of the extensive information gained in previous pulse radar studies to the investigation of fm radar terrain return and the associated design of fm radar altimeters, and may also assist in the development of the new pulse-type radars.

The vast expansion in the production of steel in the twentieth century has turned the eyes of the steel industry toward sources of low grade iron ore. Evidence of this is dramatically presented in a recent issue of Steel Facts. Fifty two percent of the iron ore mined in the United States was concentrated before shipment to the consumers. This is an increase of 25 percent over the amount concentrated a decade ago. The marked increase will continue as technological advances light the way for economical are treatment.

A Method Of Measuring Temperature Changes Casued By Strong Shock Phenomena, Benjamin J. Goodier
A Method Of Measuring Temperature Changes Casued By Strong Shock Phenomena, Benjamin J. Goodier
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
This thesis is concerned with the development of a method to measure the temperature of a metal surface during a time interval of a few microseconds while it is being subjected to a strong shock. The temperature of a special interest is the temperature of the free surface which appears after a strong shock has been reflected from that surface. This temperature remains constant until another shock wave is reflected from the surface, except for the change caused by heat loss to the surroundings by radiation.
A Conversion Means Between The Crc-102a And Maniac I., Theodore E. Smart
A Conversion Means Between The Crc-102a And Maniac I., Theodore E. Smart
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
The University of New Mexico has acquired two general purpose computers; a CRC-102A and MANIAC I. The MANIAC I has been installed and is nearing operational status, while the CRC-102A has been in use for some time. When both computers are operating it will be desirable, in certain, cases, to program a problem for both. A means for translating a program for one of the machines into a program for the other with a minimum of manual effort would, therefore, be useful. The purpose of this project was to translate the commands for one computer into commands for the other …

The scope of this thesis encompasses the investigation of the feasibilities of using a locally and/or readily available heavy aggregate for high density concrete. Such an aggregate was found to be available in Socorro, New Mexico. The Socorro Manganese Corporation has a stockpile of over 7,000 tons of high-grade manganese ore (specific gravity = 4.5) potentially suitable as a heavy aggregate, and some of which was used for this research. Along with the manganese ore was used ferrophosphorous, a very heavy aggregate manufacture by the Victor Chemical Works (specific gravity = 6.5), to obtain a range of densities that would …
Theory And Fabrication Of Point Contact Diodes Utilizing Reduced Single Crystal Rutile Tio2, Goebel Davis Jr.
Theory And Fabrication Of Point Contact Diodes Utilizing Reduced Single Crystal Rutile Tio2, Goebel Davis Jr.
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
Single Crystal Rutile TiO2 upon reduction by heating in an atmosphere of hydrogen becomes a semiconductor, and the conductivity increases with the time and temperature of reduction. The reduction process creates oxygen vacancies with which there are associated two loosely bound electrons. These electrons may be raised to the conduction band by thermal excitation. Hence, an oxygen vacancy behaves like an impurity donor site.
The Control And Measurement Of Minute Curvatures In A Steel Shaft, Donald F. Wilkes
The Control And Measurement Of Minute Curvatures In A Steel Shaft, Donald F. Wilkes
Mechanical Engineering ETDs
The primary purpose of this thesis was the solution of several special problems relating to the establishment, adjustment, and measurement of small elastic curvatures and the associated strains in a metal shaft. The solution of these problems was an important link in the development of a new type of seismometer for measuring extremely long periods with vibrations (up to 60 seconds). To achieve the sensitivity and long natural period of vibration required for accurate measurements of long-period waves, the seismometer employs a seismic mass which is suspended on an air film and constrained to follow an essentially horizontal guide rod. …
