A non-invasive transient state measurement method for wind tunnels would be very valuable as an experimental tool. Traditional measurement techniques for transient flows, e.g., hot wire anemometry, require sensors that are placed in the flow. Alternatively, particle image veloci…
The overarching purpose of my practice has been an effort to find personal fulfillment while living my religion through making sculpture. For the last several years, I have primarily used plants as my subject. I have always loved enveloping myself in nature and experienced a sig…
Drilling fluids are desired to develop a gelled structure to improve cutting transport ability during circulation and to prevent precipitation of cuttings, weighing agents and other chemical additives in static, i.e. no circulation, conditions. Despite these advantages, gelation…
Transient response of varying thickness beam is studied here numerically. Beam theory applied here includes effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. The temporal and spatially dependant equations of motion are transferred to frequency domain by employing Fast Fourier Tra…
