Failure Analysis Of Composite Laminates With A Hole By Using Finite Element Method
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Predicting the strength of a given laminate has been extensively studied. There have been several fracture models proposed but still the immense tests of composite laminates are still needed. Different material systems or ...
The Thermal Characteristics Of Liquid-heat-spreader
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The present study is an experimental research of a liquid-heat-spreader (LHS) with saturated water at ~2.29 psia. A LHS, indirect liquid cooling module, was successfully fabricated using thin copper blocks and copper tubes ...
Thermal Enhancement Of Stacked Dies Using Thermal Vias
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Following Moore's law, the number of transistors on a die continues to rise and has recently exceeded a billion on high end processors. In light of the convergence of technology, power requirements is becoming a serious ...

Finite Element Modeling Of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer Composites And Evaluating Its Thermal Conductivities
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
High thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes has motivated us to study and understand the thermal mechanisms in nanocomposites. Though several theoretical models predict a high thermal conductivity for CNT reinforced ...
Airy Stress Function For Two Dimensional Inclusion Problems
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This thesis addresses a problem of finding the elastic fields in a two-dimensional body containing an inhomogeneous inclusion using the Airy stress function which is determined so that the prescribed boundary condition at ...
Numerical Simulation Of Pulse Detonation Phenomena In A Parallel Environment
(Aerospace Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The objective of this work was to develop a parallel algorithm that would be used in the simulation of the detonation process in the chamber of a pulse detonation engine. The emphasis is laid on reducing computation ...
Study Of Blast Wave Impact On Concrete
(Aerospace Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The past decade has brought an upsurge of terrorist attacks throughout the world. A common form of attack is bombings employed against a civilian structure. These bombs lead to blast waves resulting from high explosive ...
