Structure-property quantification and modeling related to crashworthiness
(Mississippi State University, 7/10/2008)
The objective of this study is to characterize critical component structure-properties on a Dodge Neon for material response refinement in crashworthiness simulations. Crashworthiness simulations using full-scale finite ...
Evaluation Of Propane Fueled Chp Systems For Small Commercial Applications
This thesis evaluates the effects of Combined Heating and Power (CHP) systems with a Propane fueled spark ignited engine as prime mover used in a small commercial building. The system was evaluated in five different U.S. ...
Computational methods for monitoring structural damage in metal components
(Mississippi State University, 2007-07-02)
Many computational methodologies have been developed over the years with the goal of characterizing damage presence in structural components. In this thesis two approached were investigated. The first approach covered in ...
Development of a model correlating axial high efficiency particulate air filter performance between elevated and standard conditions
The ASME AG-1 Code specifies minimum rated airflow based on standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) for axial high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and actual cubic feet per minute (ACFM) for radial HEPA filters. ...
Microstructure-Based Multistage Fatigue Characterization And Modeling Of An Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Copolymer
In this work, fatigue experiments and observations are used to experimentally and computationally quantify fatigue structure-property relationships and then capture these effects through a microstructure-based MultiStage ...
Micro-Structural Response Of Dp 600 To High Strain Rate Deformation
The object of this study was to investigate the micro-structural response of DP 600 subjected to high strain rate, ballistic impact tests. The ballistic tests were conducted using normal impact of a hardened steel penetrator ...
Validation of finite element couple level-set volume of fluid method for plunging breaking wave prediction
Predictive capability of computational fluid dynamics simulations for the prediction of
plunging breaking wave is assessed. Laminar flow simulations are performed for dam break,
solitary wave run up on a slope and flow ...
Development Of A Tungsten Carbide-Nickel Braze Alloy Hardface Coating
If an expensive part such a turbine blade or high quality tool needed to be refurbished instead of discarded, the part would have be coated in a way that would resemble or even exceed its previous surface properties. In ...
Evaluation Of A Test Stand To Assess The Performance Of A Range Of Ceramic Media Filter Elements
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are defined as extended-medium, dry-type filters with: (1) a minimum particle removal efficiency of no less than 99.97 percent for 0.3 micrometer particles, (2) a maximum, ...
Hydrodynamic Modeling Of Impact Craters In Ice
In this study, impact craters in water ice are modeled using the hydrodynamic code CTH. In order to capture impact craters in ice an equation of state and a material model are created and validated. The validation of the ...
