Development of wound-on-tension in webs wound into rolls
(2006-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The Wound-on-Tension (WOT) is the tension in the outermost layer of a winding roll. The WOT controls the stresses in the wound roll and hence, the defects that can arise due to these stresses. ...
Estimations of undisturbed ground temperatures using numerical and analytical modeling
(2014-12)
The interaction of buildings and ground source heat pump systems with the surrounding ground is quite important for design and energy calculation procedures. Building design load calculations, building energy calculations, ...
Mechanisms governing onset of sliding friction
(2014-12)
Experimental observations on slip onset during quasistatic shearing of bimaterial interface are presented in this study. Although friction has been a subject of multi-disciplinary research for many decades, events surrounding ...
Advancements in the simulation of ground source heat pump systems
(2014-05)
With ground source heat pump systems becoming an increasing focus in the building energy efficiency sector, fully understanding their behavior is key. For systems such as these, computer simulation is typically performed ...
Polymer derived ceramics: Processing-structure-property relationships
(2008-05)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important ceramic, most commonly used because of its excellent properties such as high strength, high modulus, excellent creep resistance and its high temperature stability. Moreover, it is ...
Robust vibration suppression control profile generation
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Multiscale simulation using the generalized interpolation material point method, discrete dislocations and molecular dynamics
(2006-05)
Scope and Method of Study: A multiscale simulation scheme that spans the atomistic scale to the continuum has been developed for materials simulations in this study. At the continuum scale, the generalized interpolation ...
