The Design Of A Laser Doppler Velocimeter, Marlo R. Anderson
The Design Of A Laser Doppler Velocimeter, Marlo R. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
A relatively new method of measuring local velocity in a fluid stream has been devised which eliminates some of the inherent problems of the traditional methods. This method senses the Doppler shift of light scattered from a laser beam incident on particles suspended in the fluid. The Doppler shift is proportional to the particles (or fluid) velocity. This new technique has several distinct advantages over the more traditional methods of velocity measurement.
A Study Of The Effects Of Some Parameters Of The Galloping Of Electric Transmission Lines, Leland J. Coleman
A Study Of The Effects Of Some Parameters Of The Galloping Of Electric Transmission Lines, Leland J. Coleman
Theses and Dissertations
Freezing rainstorms coupled with moderate winds have often been observed to cause telephone lines and power transmission cables to begin bouncing up and down. This slow frequency high amplitude oscillation, or galloping as it is sometimes called, can build up to large amplitudes before the oscillation either damps out or persists at some constant amplitude. It has been reported by Edwards and Livingston [1] that the amplitude of galloping on transmission lines has been as large as forty feet. Galloping oscillations occur at relatively low frequencies; from .1 to 1 Hz. [1] near the natural frequency of the suspended cable.
A Dynamic Model Of A Small Manufacturing Company, Abraham John
A Dynamic Model Of A Small Manufacturing Company, Abraham John
Theses and Dissertations
A manufacturing company typically has the objective of maximizing the long-term value of its common stock while satisfying its customers. To achieve this, the company might increase the quantity and improve the quality of production. Since the company is operating in a dynamic environment, its policies should be dynamic also, to achieve its objective.
An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Modal Damping Coefficients, Craig C. Smith
An Optimization Technique Applied To The Determination Of Modal Damping Coefficients, Craig C. Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Although analytical techniques are generally available for the simulation of dynamic systems, often these techniques require a great deal of computer time and storage. This difficulty was vividly pointed out by a previous thesis undertaken in this Department by R. L. Webster (1). Mr. Webster undertook the determination of orthotropic material properties using dynamic response test data from plates. A major difficulty which was encountered was the enormous amount of computer time required for the simulation. This thesis is an investigation of a method which when fully developed, may provide the ability to simulate such systems much more efficiently.
A Data Reduction Technique For Drag-Coefficient Data For Spheres, Stephen Thomas Merrell
A Data Reduction Technique For Drag-Coefficient Data For Spheres, Stephen Thomas Merrell
Theses and Dissertations
The object of this investigation was to obtain a reliable technique for finding the drag coefficient for a sphere falling at a non-constant velocity through air. And then to apply this technique to the data collected by R. G. Lunnon in 1925^(4)*.
An Investigation Of A Computer Technique For Determining The Characteristic Parameters Of A Viscoelastic Model With Hysteresis Effects From Transient Experimental Data, Stephen Jack Clark
An Investigation Of A Computer Technique For Determining The Characteristic Parameters Of A Viscoelastic Model With Hysteresis Effects From Transient Experimental Data, Stephen Jack Clark
Theses and Dissertations
The object of this work was to develop a computer technique for determining the characteristic parameters of spring-mass system with hysteresis effects from transient experimental data. The technique was intended to be utilized to determine the parameters of models of systems where complex geometry and rate dependent properties would make a determination of the model parameters most difficult, and where the parameters typically obtained from static test would not characterize the rate dependent properties accurately.
A Feasibility Study Of The Application Of Bondgraph Modeling And Computerized Nonlinear Model Parameter Identification Techniques To The Cardiovascular System, Randall L. Taylor
A Feasibility Study Of The Application Of Bondgraph Modeling And Computerized Nonlinear Model Parameter Identification Techniques To The Cardiovascular System, Randall L. Taylor
Theses and Dissertations
Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend for people in the medical and engineering professions to couple their talents in a more united effort to better understand the functioning of the human body. This union of technologies has meant the introduction of new viewpoints and techniques in the field of physiological research. The engineers' basic tool, mathematical modeling, has perhaps been one of the most noticeable additions. There has been a significant amount of work done in recent years along these lines of deriving mathematical models to express the functioning of a subsystem of the body, and then, using analog, …
Particle Dynamics In The Mixing Of A Particle-Laden Stream With A Secondary Stream In A Duct, William Doyle Cranney
Particle Dynamics In The Mixing Of A Particle-Laden Stream With A Secondary Stream In A Duct, William Doyle Cranney
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to review the history and discuss the present work being done in particle-gas flow, with application to air- augmentation of a particle-carrying, fuel-rich gas jet. A drawing of the model considered is shown in Figure 1, with the area of interest labeled. The thesis is intended as a thorough literature review and analysis.
Temperature Protection For Fruit Trees By Air-Supported Plastic Structures, Ram T. Gadhavi
Temperature Protection For Fruit Trees By Air-Supported Plastic Structures, Ram T. Gadhavi
Theses and Dissertations
The greatest weather enemy in all fruit destruction is the late spring frost which moves across the country under the high pressure areas that are occasionally seen on the weather maps, and kills the fruit buds.
Triaxial Stress Effects In Weldments Associated With The Heat Affected Zone, Rohit A. Mehta
Triaxial Stress Effects In Weldments Associated With The Heat Affected Zone, Rohit A. Mehta
Theses and Dissertations
The welding of steel occupies an important place as a major fabricating process in industry. The welding of steel has been a subject of research for many years, and much information has been obtained about the strength of weldments.
A Survey Of Literature On The Pyrolysis Of Wood And Other Cellulosic Solids, Kenneth P. Sasine
A Survey Of Literature On The Pyrolysis Of Wood And Other Cellulosic Solids, Kenneth P. Sasine
Theses and Dissertations
The study of the ignition of wood and other cellulosic materials has resulted in the publication of a large amount of literature. As an aid in the planning and interpretation of future research, it was felt that a survey of a representative body of literature should be made. With this as its motivation, the present work was initiated.
Determination Of Effective Strain For The Strainhardening Of Aluminum Subjected To Completely Reversed Strain Combinations, Navin M. Patani
Determination Of Effective Strain For The Strainhardening Of Aluminum Subjected To Completely Reversed Strain Combinations, Navin M. Patani
Theses and Dissertations
It is known that subrecrystallization plastic deformation increases the strength of a metal. The amount of strengthening that may be acquired can be approximated using a strainhardening equation and a simple given strain. The purpose of this thesis was to determine the effective strain for predicting strainhardening for annealed aluminum subjected to completely reversed strain combinations.
