Direct shear testing of UO₂ sphere-pac nuclear reactor fuel

Creator:

Jenks, Richard P.

Abstract:

The design, development, and utilization of a direct shear test apparatus is presented in this thesis. The effectiveness of the device for determining the friction angle stress state parameter is studied. Two materials, alumina and uranium dioxide, were tested. Alumina microspheres were employed in the initial experiments to simulate the...

Chemical characterization of asphalt cements using chromatographic techniques : relation to rheological properties and field performance

Creator:

Thenoux, Guillermo

Abstract:

This dissertation presents the findings of a literature review and information regarding selection, implementation and development of a chemical composition procedure for asphalt cements. The chemical composition analysis selected was the Corbett-Swarbrick procedure standarized as ASTM D4124. The procedure is a selective adsorption / desorption (solid / liquid) chromatography which...
