This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research produced accomplishments. and new findings in the areas of thermomechanics and stability of materials with temperature-dependent density, characterization of pesticide spray solutions in agriculture and polymer solutions and melts in manufacturing, criteria for admissible forms of non-Newtonian viscosity for flows with low strain rates, modeling of industrial filament manufacturing processes, modeling fiber drawing and belt power transmission, material characterization in high strain-rate plasticity, and modeling of foam generation and flow. As an outgrowth of the research, the PI has collaborated with Prof. Palazotto of AFIT in two AFRL/DAGSI proposals, in response to topics generated by the Air Vehicle Directorate of WPAFB. One past the first cut and is currently being considered for funding.
