Numerical Investigation of Vibration in a Steam Turbine Control Valve
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
A numerical analysis is performed at North Dakota State University to investigate and resolve steam inlet control valve vibration in a Minnkota Power Cooperative turbine. Pressure fluctuations resulting from an unstable ...
Mechanical and Surface Properties of Technical and Single Flax Fiber in Micro and Nano Scale
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The continued search for sustainable and eco-friendly materials led to the integration of bio-fibers as the reinforcement in composite materials. However, a wide variation in their mechanical properties poses a considerable ...
Experimental Investigation of the Temperature Effects on the Behavior of Adhesively-Bonded Dissimilar Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The effects of temperature on the fatigue and low velocity impact (LVI) behaviors of adhesively-bonded single-lap joints (SLJs) composed of a pultruded E-glass/polyurethane composite bonded to 5052 aluminum and A36 steel ...
Dynamic Modelling for the Path Tracking Control of a Four-Wheel Independent-Drive, Four-Wheel Independent-Steer Autonomous Ground Vehicle
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Robots that can be reconfigured to perform more than one task would be to consumers. The Four-Wheel Independent-Drive, Four-Wheel Independent-Steer (4WD4WS) robot is well suited for the role of reconfigurable robot due to ...
Design and Control of a Micro/Nano Load Stage for In-Situ AFM Observation and Nanoscale Structural and Mechanical Characterization of MWCNT-Epoxy Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Nanomaterial composites hold improvement potential for many materials. Improvements arise through known material behaviors and unique nanoscale effects to improve performance in areas including elastic modulus and damping ...
