  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Behavior of a 1/6th scale, two-story, wood framed residential structure under surge wave loading

    Creator:
    Wilson, Jebediah
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed residential structure, (2)...

  • Aqueous Corrosion and High Temperature Oxidation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Environments

    Creator:
    Teeter, Lucas
    Abstract:
    The corrosion resistance of steels and nickel based alloys was investigated in supercritical CO2 (sCO2). Two types of experiments were conducted. The first set of experiments were conducted in a low temperature aqueous environment to simulate conditions that would exist in direct sCO2 power cycle low temperature heat exchangers. 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...
