Fatigue Life Prediction Of Edge-Welded Metal Bellows Using Neural Networks And Multiple Linear Regression, David L.W. Ballard

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

Edge-welded metal bellows present an ongoing challenge: the prediction of an accurate cycle life. Current methods rely on physical leak detection to determine a bellow's cycle life to failure. It is known, however, that crack initiation begins many cycles before a leak path is present. Bellows manufacturers require a method for detection of fatigue cracks when they initiate but before they result in leak rates large enough to contaminate a process. Acoustic emission (AE) testing is one method which can meet this need and is a proven, reliable technique for detecting crack initiation and monitoring fatigue crack growth.

A Comparison Of Pseudo 3-Dimensional Collision Avoidance-Predictor Displays For Free Flight, Steve Kertesz Jr.

Master's Theses - Daytona Beach

This study was the second of two studies to evaluate the use of a pseudo three-dimensional display to present information about future possible conflicts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate variations of a cockpit screen display that transfers relevant data to the pilot in a manner which is easy to interpret and to facilitate the possible stressful situations that may be encountered due to the proposed free flight environment. In the first phase, three display concepts, using three different screen designs were compared. In this study, three different displays, all of which used using the space-time predictor concept …

Best Practices For Tourism Center Development Along The Red Sea Coast, Stephen M. Reeve, Stephen C. Jameson, Ragaei S. Abdel-Fattah, Bernhard Riegl, Randa Hassan, Alvin P. Newman

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

The spectacular coastlines along Egypt's Red Sea and Gulf of Aqaba are the focus for one of the fastest growing tourism economies in the world. In order to accomplish national objectives for growth in permanent, well-paying jobs and in foreign exchange earnings, the Tourism Development Authority (TDA) has launched an initiative to make land available to investors for resort development along these coastlines. As of December, 1997, 6,000 hotel rooms are under construction in the Red Sea region and the TDA has proposals for at least 240 major resorts to be built by the year 2020.

Magnetic Control Of Convection In Nonconducting Diamagnetic Fluids, J. Huang, D. D. Gray, Boyd F. Edwards

All Physics Faculty Publications

Inhomogeneous magnetic fields exert a body force on electrically nonconducting, diamagnetic fluids. This force can be used to compensate for gravity and to control convection. The field effect on convection is represented by a dimensionless vector parameter R_m=(μ₀αχ₀d³ΔT/ρ₀νD_T)(H⋅∇H)_r=0^ext, which measures the relative strength of the induced magnetic buoyancy force due to the applied field gradient. The vertical component of this parameter competes with the gravitational buoyancy effect and a critical relationship between this component and the Rayleigh number is identified for the onset of convection. …

Evaluation Of Highway Safety Needs Of Special Population Groups - Phase 1, Sunanda Dissanayake, J. John Lu, Hua Tan, Xuehao Chu, Patricia Turner

CUTR Research Reports

Although the United States has achieved dramatic progress in the past several decades in terms of highway safety, there is however still room for improvement. Each year, tens of thousands of people are killed and millions injured as a. result of highway crashes, which in tum pose considerable economic loss to society. One area of highway safety that deserves further consideration is in relation to special population groups.

This project concentrates on the highway safety needs of six special population groups: older drivers, school aged children, young drivers, international tourists, new immigrants and people with disabilities. Ranking of highway safety …

Values And Reward Preferences Of Prospective Engineers, S Bhargava

IIMB Management Review

A study conducted among students of a leading Indian institute of engineering and technology yielded useful and significant insights into the preferred rewards and motivators, personal values and background, attitudes and job prospects of prospective engineers, considered to be the cream of Indian youth and likely to assume positions of leadership in the fields of engineering and management. The findings of the study could help solve prevalent problems in designing organisational structures and reward systems and in improving the quality of engineering education and prospects for engineers in Indian organisations.

Gas-Viscous Liquid Behavior And Its Implications For Pressure-Relief Design, Ahmad H. Alramadneh

Doctoral Dissertations

The two-phase flow system is a multifaceted engineering task with many industrial applications. The accurate prediction of the behavior of such systems is of special importance.

This study is directed toward improving and integrating what is known about the gas-viscous liquid flow behavior during vessel depressurization, specifically, visually characterizing the top venting of saturated-viscous fluids. The experimental results are needed to improve the design methodologies for pressure-relief systems.

Lab-scale vessel depressurization experiments with initially saturated fluids were performed. In particular, a problem arose when sodium tetraborate decahydrate solution (model fluid) saturated with carbon dioxide gas is vented from a 5.3-liter …

Geotextile Feeding/Traffic Surfaces And Costs, Larry W. Turner

Agricultural Engineering Extension Updates

Mud robs Kentucky beef and dairy producers of performance from their cattle herds in winter and spring conditions. To help avoid the problems associated with mud and reduced performance, concrete pads or lower-cost all-weather surfaces should be used wherever animals congregate--- feeding areas, animal traffic areas and loafing areas. Although concrete is probably the most desirable surface for durability and low maintenance, an all-weather surface can be constructed of geotextile fabric, rock and fine surface cover for less than 1/3 of the cost of concrete. Rock over bare soil in Kentucky requires approximately 12" of depth for stability. In contrast, …
