Transverse compressive properties of honeycomb core under oblique loading

Thotakuri, Manoj Varma (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

The transverse compressive behavior of honeycomb cores has been widely exploited for energy absorption applications in the automotive and aerospace industry. The energy absorption in honeycomb cores with thin reinforced ...
Turbulent boundary layer models for acoustic analysis

Miller, Teresa S. (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

An analysis of the three types of turbulent boundary layer (TBL) models for acoustic analysis is presented because current preferred models over-predict TBL contributions to aircraft interior noise predictions. The mean ...
Viscoelastic relaxation in bolted thermoplastic composite joints

Schmitt, Ron R. (Wichita State University, 1991-12)

Results from a research program to investigate the long term effects of through-the-thickness fastener clamp-up force (preload) relaxation on the strength of mechanically fastened joints for two graphite/thermoplastic composite ...
Vortex burst behavior of a dynamically pitched delta wing under the influence of a von Kàrmàn vortex street and unsteady freestream

Heron, Ismael (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

An experimental investigation was undertaken at Wichita State University in order to quantify the vortex burst behavior of a pitching 70-degree sweep delta wing subjected to a variable freestream velocity (accelerating ...
