An investigation of transition from penetration to deflection in the fracture of bi-material interfaces

Creator:

Strom, Joshua L.

Abstract:

The problem of determining whether a crack impinging on an interface will penetrate into the substrate or deflect along the interface is vital to the effective design of layered and composite material systems. Of particular interest is the transition between crack propagation by penetration through an interface and deflection along...

RANS and LES predictions of turbulent scalar transport in dead zones of natural streams

Creator:

Drost, Kevin J.

Abstract:

Natural stream systems contain a variety of ﬂow geometries which contain ﬂow separation, turbulent shear layers, and recirculation zones. This work focuses on streams with dead zones. Characterized by slower ﬂow and recirculation, dead zones are naturally occurring cutouts in stream banks. These dead zones play an important role in...
