Study Of The Design Of Reinforcement For Prestressed Concrete And Blocks, Charles Robert Hoffman

Masters Theses

"This thesis is an analysis of the transverse tensile stress condition in an end block of a prestressed concrete beam. A stress analysis was made by photoelasticity and compared to the mathematical solutions and experimental solutions performed by others on concrete models. The photoelastic model was made from a piece of Columbia Resin, 39.

Whatever method is chosen to determine the stress condition, there is no exact code that can be established to fit the various type problems which arise"--Abstract, page 1.

Statistical Analysis Of Fracture Stresses Of Triaxial Porcelain Bodies, Robert E. Moore

Doctoral Dissertations

"Triaxial porcelain bodies containing various forms of silica, quartz, cristobalite and fused silica, were strength tested in bending. Significance tests were employed to discern real differences in the strength sample statistics caused by the various forms of silica. Firings were performed at three temperature levels. The differences in strength sample statistics were correlated to the microstructures of these silica porcelains.

A triaxial alumina porcelain body was employed as a model brittle solid for a study of the effect of flaw density on mean fracture stress. The flaws were introduced in the form of large diameter (d̄ = 115 microns) rounded …

A Study Of Segregation In Cast Aluminum-Uranium Alloys, B. L. Bramfitt

Masters Theses

"This investigation involves a photomicrographic study of the segregation resulting from the eutectic solidification characteristics of aluminum-uranium alloys, ranging from 5 to 30 weight percent uranium. The segregation can occur in either of two manners; the first, due to the gravitational forces acting upon the growing particles which nucleate in the melt and the second, due to the mode and rate of heat transfer through the material. It was found that segregation occurred only as the result of the latter factor due to the small volume of the ingot and the rapid rate of heat transfer. The segregation was measured …

Transpiration Cooling Of A Heat Generating Porous Plate, M. K. A. Hameed

Masters Theses

"This investigation is a continuation of a thesis by T. S. Purewal. Several of the simplifying assumptions made by the above author are either ignored or the justifiability of such assumptions is probed into in order to obtain a more rigorous solution. Effects of the assorted grain size, non-Newtonian cooling, direction of coolant flow, thickness of the porous heat generating plate, specific heat of the coolant, and compressibility of the coolant are investigated in this thesis. Variation of maximum temperature of both coolant and the solid material for different types of heat source distribution are also studied.

As the grain …

A Comparison Of A-C And D-C Lead Compensation From D-C Prototype Networks, Piyush Parikh

Masters Theses

"The object of this thesis is to study the difference in transient and frequency response characteristics between a prototype d-c phase lead compensating network and an equivalent a-c phase lead compensating network.

A second order servo is selected to be compensated and five d-c prototype and equivalent a-c phase lead compensating networks are designed. The frequency characteristics of the a-c networks are obtained experimentally and these of the d-c networks are obtained analytically. The characteristics of both networks are compared and their differences are studied. The transient characteristics of the d-c and a-c compensated closed-loop systems to a step input …

A Study Of Composite Beams Made To Find An Approximate Relationship Between The Top And Bottom Flange Steel Ratio, Murli U. Hasrajani

Masters Theses

"At present in building construction the use of the composite beams is not very common. The use of the concrete beams is seen in almost all construction. By using composite beams in building construction more durability and savings in cost could be achieved. This paper shows an approximate design procedure which could be followed without running a number of trials with different sections to arrive at the required one. The ratio of top flange steel to the bottom flange steel can be determined if one knows the loads, span and the depth of the beam required"--Abstract, page i.

Model Analysis By The Moiré Method, David D. Kick

Masters Theses

"This study presents the use of Moiré fringes for model analysis of deflections and strains. Deflection of a beam, strain in a disk, and an Influence diagram for a frame are presented as examples of uses of the Moiré method. The necessary equations for the determination of strain using the Moiré method are also derived and presented in this work"--Abstract, page v.

Refrigeration Heat Transfer Characteristics Of An Artificially Cooled Trout Pond, Richard G. Murray

Masters Theses

"In many locations natural summer lake and pond temperatures are too great for the practical production of trout for fishing purposes.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the refrigeration capacity required to maintain a pond of water at a temperature that provides a healthful environment for trout.

The over-all refrigeration load for this application was sub-divided into four categories; conduction, convection, evaporation and radiation. Each type was solved by analytical means using suitable boundary conditions and simplifications. It was necessary to determine one boundary condition for the conduction heat transfer by an empirical method.

The results of this …

A Study Of A Second-Order Predictive Control System, Tarkeshwar Singh

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this thesis is the study of a predictive control system by simulating it on an analog computer. Logic criteria for step reference inputs are derived by the phase- plane technique, and tie corresponding logic network designed to bring the error and error rate of the controlled system toward zero in the least possible time.

The responses of the predictive control system for step, ramp, sinusoidal and exponential reference inputs are investigated with primary emphasis placed on the rise time and overshoot for several values of step inputs of the reference.

Finally, recommendations are made for further investigations …
