Arc distribution and motion during the vacuum arc remelting process as detected with a magnetostatic approach

Creator:

Woodside, Rigel

Abstract:

Currently, the temporal arc distribution across the ingot during the vacuum arc remelting (VAR) process is not a known or monitored parameter. It is has previously been shown that arcs can spatially constrict during VAR, and this constriction can lead to undesired defects in the material. Additionally, correct accounting for...

Dissertation
Automated manipulation of zebrafish embryos for high-throughput toxicology screening of nanomaterials

Creator:

Mandrell, David

Abstract:

The field of nanotechnology has been rapidly developing new materials. These materials have become incorporated into consumer products and the environment after only minimal assessment of their effects on human health or the environment. The toxicity of these new nanomaterials remains unknown due to the unpredictable nature of the core...

Predicting deep water breaking wave severity

Creator:

Hovland, Justin

Abstract:

Ocean Wave Energy Converters (WECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to WECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves is presented and applied to wave data...
