Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:: Rathi, Vardan M.
Abstract:: The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

Shear repair methods for conventionally reinforced concrete girders and deep beams

Creator:: Howell, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder bridges (RCDG) and their intermediate supporting bent caps were designed during the Eisenhower interstate era of the 1950’s with the AASHO design equations at the time, which subsequently place higher demand on the concrete. The referenced components may exhibit diagonal cracking due to the...

A comparative analysis of extracted fungal pigments and commercially available dyes for colorizing textiles

Creator:: Hinsch, Eric M.
Abstract:: With the resurgence in the interest of using natural textile dyes, a solution must be found that will overcome the limitations of traditional natural dyes. This solution must also be safer for both humankind and the environment than are synthetic dyes. This study compares the colorfastness of commercially available synthetic...

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Propulsion

Creator:: Anderson, Cole J.
Abstract:: In a seminal paper published in 1982, scientist have warned that humanity was pushing earth’s ecosystems beyond their capacities to support the web of life. One response to the concern was outlined by NASA with its vision for advanced fixed wing transport aircraft to be environmentally compatible and have revolutionary...

Mechanical linkage design for haptic rehabilitation and development of fine motor skills

Creator:: Streng, B. Taylor
Abstract:: Thousands of children and adults suffer from fine motor skill deficits due to developmental disabilities or brain trauma. In order to acquire or reclaim these precision motor movements, occupational therapists work closely with each patient to develop the muscle memory required for completing tasks such as handwriting or drawing. Although...

Stability and Liftoff of Non-premixed Large Hydrocarbon Flames in MILD Conditions

Creator:: Walters, Eric M.
Abstract:: The Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion regime has received interest from the industrial furnace and gas turbine engine industries due to attractive properties of reduced NO[subscript x] emissions and high thermal efficiency. MILD combustion is characterized by low oxygen concentrations (i.e. 3%-9% by volume) and high reactant temperatures....

The impact of wood variability on the drying rate at different moisture content levels

Creator:: Berberović, Adin
Abstract:: Variability in wood properties causes boards within a stack of lumber to dry at different rates and reach different moisture content levels after drying is completed. The consequence is that the boards will have properties that differ from ones that were intended to be achieved by the drying process. The...

Determination of cutting forces with asymmetric wedged blades

Creator:: Phan, Andrew Vinh
Abstract:: Cutting operations using blades appear in several different industries such as food processing, surgical operations, gardening equipment, and so forth. As our society continues to increase our technological prowess, there is an ongoing need to better understand the underlying causes of simple tasks such as cutting so that cutting operations...

Role of Stoichiometry on Ordering in Ni-Cr Alloys

Creator:: Teng, Fei
Abstract:: Mechanical property degradation due to isothermal ageing is of potential concern for alloys based on the Ni-Cr binary system (e.g., Inconel 690, 625), particularly in nuclear power applications where component lifetimes can exceed 40 years. In the present research, the disorder-order phase transformation, which is the primary mechanism of ageing,...
