The Analysis And Testing Of The Quaife Torque-biasing Differential
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and test the Quaife torque biasing differential. The differential was modeled mathematically and equations were formulated. Experiments were then performed on a Formula SAE car ...
Consideration Of Compressibility Effects For Applied-back-pressure Dynamic Well Control Response To A Gas Kick In Managed Pressure Drilling Operations
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) operations offer the ability to control a relatively small gas kick dynamically, without shutting in the well using blowout preventers. One currently employed method of dynamic well control ...

Numerical modeling and simulations have been performed in this study that focuses on modeling the fluid dynamics of an Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD) device. The case to be modeled in the present study is a droplet ...
Buckling And Post Buckling Of Structural Components
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Structural members and components, such as shells and trusses of different geometries, form the intricate and deep seated parts in the manufacturing of missiles submarines, rockets, airplanes, automobiles etc and find ...
Inverse Design Of Airfoils Using A Flexible Membrane Method
(Aerospace Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The Modified Garabedian Mc-Fadden (MGM) method is used to inversely design airfoils. The Finite Difference Method (FDM) for Non-Uniform Grids was developed to discretize the MGM equation for numerical solving. The Finite ...
Mean Pressure Measurements Of Micro-vortex Generator At Mach 2.5
(Aerospace Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Shock wave/boundary layer interactions (SBLIs) are always an important issue for high-speed vehicles. SBLIs reduce the performance of aerodynamic surfaces and engine inlets, amongst a number of adverse effects. Micro-vortex ...
