Development of helicopter attitude axes controlled hover flight without pilot assistance and vehicle crashes.
(2007)
In this work, we show how to computerize a helicopter to fly attitude axes controlled hover flight without the assistance of a pilot and without ever crashing. We start by developing a helicopter research test bed system ...
Semi-active structural control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics: Design, stability analysis, and experimental verification.
(2001)
The dissertation presents the development and experimental validation of control laws that provide stable closed-loop behavior and good performance for semi-active control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics. In ...
The synthesis and analysis of fluid control networks /

Experimental Measurement and Modeling of Thermal Conductivities of Carbon Fibers and Their Composites Modified with Carbon Nanofibers
(2014-05-09)
Carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRCs) show superior thermal performance along the fiber direction due to high thermal conductivity of carbon fiber in the fiber direction. However, these composites suffer from poor ...
A platform cascading method for scale based product family design.
(2007)
In this dissertation, a product family design method for scale based products leveraged from multiple platforms is presented. A product family is a set of related products derived from a product platform. Product family ...
Effect of Planar Preform Density on Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Composites
(2002)
The type and volume fraction of fibrous preform used in resin transfer molding has significant influence on the properties of the molded composite parts. In this study, effect of preform architecture and fiber volume ...
Buoyancy effects on flow structure and instability of low-density gas jets.
(2004)
Linear temporal and spatio-temporal stability analyses of a low-density round gas jet injected into a high-density ambient gas were performed by assuming hyper-tan mean velocity and density profiles. The flow was assumed ...
Flow structure of low-density gas jets and gas jet diffusion flames.
(2006)
Buoyant jets and flames have been a subject of significant research in fluid dynamics. Such flows are influenced by near field instabilities, turbulence, buoyancy, chemistry, heat release, etc. The present research deals ...
Implementation of three-dimensional visualization in interactive Web-based environment for engineering education and technical training.
(2003)
The first system, the CSD System is not only an illustration environment, but also an actual system that has been built for Tinker Air Force Base (AFB). The main purpose of Tinker AFB having this web-based environment ...
Interaction effects of wind-blown proximate flames from burning wood cribs /
