(Affiliation: University of Michigan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesAffiliation: University of Cyprus, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Memorial University of Newfoundland, Department of Engineering and Applied Science, St. John's, NL, CanadaCorrespondence Address: Ersal, T.University of Michigan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI, United Statesemail: tersal@umich.edu, 2008)
A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often - but not always - correlates inversely with ...
Fuel cell APU for silent watch and mild electrification of a medium tactical truck
(2004)
This paper investigates the opportunities for improving truck fuel economy through the use of a Fuel Cell Auxiliary Power Unit (FC APU) for silent watch, as well as for powering electrified engine accessories during driving. ...
Near-monodisperse sodium polymethacrylates: Characterization by linear salt gradient anion-exchange chromatography
(2000)
A family of six near-monodisperse homopolymers of sodium methacrylate (Mn = 1100, 3200, 5500, 7200, 14100, and 21000) is characterized by linear salt gradient anion-exchange chromatography. Although the retention times ...
Flow development in compression of a finite amount of a Bingham plastic
(2007)
The flow and shape evolution during the compression of a finite amount of a Bingham plastic is investigated by means of numerical simulations. The problem relates to the popular compression test used for the rheological ...
Low-temperature growth of NiMnSb thin films by pulsed-laser deposition
(2002)
We report the growth of thin films of the ferromagnetic half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb by pulsed-laser deposition on Si (111) and polycrystalline InAs substrates. Highly crystalline films are grown using low substrate temperatures ...
Pulsed-laser deposition of NiMnSb thin films at moderate temperatures
(2002)
Thin films of the half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb, which is predicted by band-structure calculations to be a half-metallic ferromagnet, were grown on various substrates (Si and InAs) using pulsed-laser deposition. The growth ...
Synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb
(2004)
The synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. It was observed that the half metallicity in NiMnSb is supported by the integer saturation magnetization value at 5 ...
Influence of the nonmagnetic impurities on the spin-1 Heisenberg chain SrNi2V2O8 system
(2006)
De-magnetization and heat capacity measurements on polycrystalline samples of SrNi2-xMgxV2O8 (x = 0 and 0.05) are reported. The magnetization data suggest that both compounds are S= 1 quasi one-dimensional Heisenberg ...
