Effects of Equivalence Ratio and Iodine Number on NOx Emissions from the Flames of Biofuels and Hydrocarbons
(2009)
Increased energy consumption in the United States has led to a demand for the development of new bio-derived fuels. As biofuels are used more frequently in diesel and gasoline engines it has become increasingly important ...
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ROVER WHEEL TESTBED
(2009)
Wheel performance has been one of the limiting factors in interplanetary rover mis-
SHAPE DESIGN SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION FOR 2-D STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS UNDER MIXED MODE FRACTURE USING EXTENDED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND LEVEL SET METHOD
(2009)
Weight and service life are often the two most important considerations in the design of structural components. This research incorporates a novel crack propagation analysis technique into shape optimization framework to ...
Direct Simulation of the Thermal Transpiration of Rarefied Gases in Short Channels
(2009)
Thermal transpiration (also referred to as thermal creep, thermal diffusion and thermomolecular flux) is the process by which a gas under the influence of a temperature gradient will flow through a channel from a cold ...
Dynamic behavior of bridge structures under moving loads and masses using differential quadrature method
(2009)
The current study is focused on the dynamic behavior of an idealized highway bridge structure subjected to moving heavy vehicular loads using simplified representative models such as Euler beams and Kirchhoff plates. The ...

(2009)
The current study is focused on the dynamic behavior of an idealized highway bridge structure subjected to moving heavy vehicular loads using simplified representative models such as Euler beams and Kirchhoff plates. The ...
Nonlinear Bayesian Estimation via Solution of The Fokker-Planck Equation
(2009)
A general approach to optimal nonlinear filtering can be described by a recursive Bayesian approach. The key step in this approach is to determine the probability density function of the state vector conditioned on available ...
