Characterization of reinforced fill soil, soil-reinforcement interaction, and internal stability of very tall MSE walls

Creator:: Walters, James J.
Abstract:: In many geotechnical design situations involving tight right-of-way constraints, Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls are often the most cost-effective and reliable earth retention technology among available alternatives. However, few well-documented case histories with detailed material testing, instrumentation programs and construction observation of performance are available in the literature. Despite the...

Advancing the understanding of bulk metallic glasses as structural materials through exploration of mechanical properties

Creator:: Naleway, Steven E.
Abstract:: Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) offer a great deal of potential through their near-theoretical strength, potentially high toughness and unique forming and molding traits. However, there are still a number of outstanding issues that bar their widespread use. This thesis describes the investigation of three research questions each designed to further...

Investigating the Effect of Tetrahydrofuran (THF) Plasticizer on the Crystallization and Solvent Seaming of PET/NPG Copolymer Films

Creator:: Srivastava, Aarushi
Abstract:: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer has been the material of choice for packaging industry as a result of its excellent mechanical and physical properties. These properties are highly dependent on the microstructure, chemistry, and processing conditions of this material. PET is often oriented in the machine direction (MD), the transverse direction...

Neutronic Analysis of a Liquid Metal Fast Reactor Experiment in the Large-I Position of the Advanced Test Reactor

Creator:: Lilley, Benjamin C.
Abstract:: Material testing experiments are needed to enable the next generation of nuclear fission reactors. Concluding in 2009, the Boosted Fast Flux Loop (BFFL) project was devised as a way to test fast reactor materials and fuels in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), however the experiment location it used is now...

A multiagent approach to identifying innovation in design components

Creator:: Rebhuhn, Carrie M.
Abstract:: Innovation is a key element for a product to achieve market success, but identifying it within product or even defining the term is a difficult task. Identifying innovation has been approached in many different ways. Experts in design engineering may identify innovative designs based on an analysis of a product's...

The Development of a Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Simulation Code in C++ for the Modeling of the SPT-70 Hall Thruster

Creator:: Myers, Conner J.
Abstract:: In order to support the growing satellite propulsion industry, a hybrid Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation with fluid treatment of electrons and neutral particles was developed to model the SPT-70 Hall thruster. The 2D, C++ code assumes azimuthal symmetry and a uniform magnetic field in the radial direction with the simulation domain...

Efficiency of a direct contact condenser in the presence of the noncondensable gas air compared to a tube and shell condenser

Creator:: Lebsack, Jonathan M.
Abstract:: Steam distillation is the traditional method used for the extraction of peppermint oil. This process is able to remove approximately 20% of the oils from the leaves of the plant. It is a very costly and un-sustainable process due to the release of carbon emissions. Solvent free microwave extraction promises...

Fracture toughness of void-site-filled skutterudites

Creator:: Eilertsen, James S.
Abstract:: Thermoelectric materials are playing an increasingly significant role in the global effort to develop sustainable energy technologies. Consequently, the demand for materials with greater thermoelectric efficiency has stimulated the development of state-of-the-art interstitially doped skutterudite-based materials. However, since intermetallics are often embrittled by interstitial substitution, optimal skutterudite-based device design, manufacture,...

Solution-based deposition of functional thin films : development of a glucose biosensor and thermal processing of CZTS nanoparticle films

Creator:: Durgan, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The development of solution-based methods for deposition of different thin film material is presented as an alternative to high cost vacuum-based methods. For certain materials, vacuum techniques are unsuitable for processing. Additionally, vacuum-based processes present high capital costs associated with equipment, and slow processing times. Atmospheric pressure solution based techniques...

Steady State Modeling of the Minimum Critical Core of the Transient Reactor Test Facility

Creator:: Alberti, Anthony L.
Abstract:: With the advent of next generation reactor systems and new fuel designs, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has identified the need for the resumption of transient testing of nuclear fuels. The DOE has decided that the Transient Reactor Test Facility (TREAT) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is best suited...
