  • Method of modeling flexural characteristics of a bar subjected to local heating
    Patent number: 8190402
    Abstract: The method of modeling flexural characteristics of a bar subjected to local heating utilizes thermal diffusion equations and the finite element method to model vibrational frequency and amplitude variation in a substrate material subjected to local heating. Both heated and non-heated cases are considered.
    Type: Grant

  • Method of determining the elastic modulus of coatings
    Publication number: 20110060562
    Abstract: The method of determining the elastic modulus of coatings utilizes numerical modeling and simulation methods to determine physical characteristics of coatings based upon comparisons of measured flexural characteristics with the numerical models and simulations. Particularly, the method of determining the elastic modulus of coatings utilizes a numerical modeling technique, such as the finite element method, to model vibrational frequency and amplitude variation in a substrate material with a metallic or ceramic coating.
