Application of digital image correlation in material parameter estimation and vibration analysis of carbon fiber composite and aluminum plates

Creator:: Chuang, Chih-Lan Jasmine
Abstract:: Identifying material parameters in composite plates is a necessary first step in a variety of structural applications. For example, understanding the material parameters of carbon fiber composite is important in investigating sensor and actuator placement on micro-air-vehicle wings for control and wing morphing purposes. Knowing the material parameters can also...

A Geometric Morphometric Analysis of Projectile Point Maintenance using Experimental Resharpening Techniques: An Examination of PFP1 Curation, Cooper’s Ferry Site, Idaho

Creator:: Skinner, Sarah M.
Abstract:: The incorporation of experimental archaeology into the study of lithic technologies has provided archaeologists with a framework to understand past behaviors. The analysis of stone tools has the potential to reveal morphologic characteristics unique to the manufacture, use, and maintenance of stone tools. The implementation of controlled experiments to identify...

Transport of the copepod, Calanus finmarchicus, in the northwest Atlantic during diapause

Creator:: Kowalke, Gregory L.
Abstract:: The copepod Calanus finmarchicus is the most important and biomass dominant mesozooplankter in the temperate-boreal North Atlantic. C. finmarchicus has an overwintering phase, termed diapause, during which it descends to great depths (300-2000m) and is metabolically quiescent for up to ten months. Changes in the currents at depth due to...

Turbulent Combustion Analysis of Large Hydrocarbon Fuels in a Reduced Pressure Environment

Creator:: Schorn, Nathan E.
Abstract:: The aviation industry is pushing for better fuels and gas turbine engines for several reasons: cost, emissions, and to a lesser extent high-altitude relights. One aspect that research has been focused on to help reduce costs, emissions and better understand high-altitude relights is studying the combustion behavior of the fuel...

Modeling and control of a biologically inspired compliant structure

Creator:: Ray, Cody W.
Abstract:: We hypothesize that the extraordinary maneuverability and efficiency of bats in flight are in part due to the compliant nature of their wing structures. We utilize the parameters of bat bones measured by biologists to create a biologically inspired model of a flapping system consisting of a rotating hub actuator...

The Genomic Capabilities of Microbial Communities Track Seasonal Variation in Arctic Lagoons

Creator:: Baker, Kristina D.
Abstract:: The lagoons spanning Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast provide a unique habitat for arctic wildlife. These lagoons and the food webs they support face extreme seasonality with nine months of ice cover followed by a spring thaw that pulses a large amount of freshwater and nutrients into the lagoons. Bacteria link...

Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

Creator:: Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela
Abstract:: A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...

The termination of the Basin and Range Province into a clockwise rotating region of transtension and volcanism, central Oregon

Creator:: Trench, David
Abstract:: Normal faults characterizing extensional provinces may terminate along-strike at regions of zero extension, at zones of transform faults, or at triple junctions. Termination of the Basin and Range extensional province in southeastern Oregon is thought to occur by right-lateral transform motion distributed across the Brothers Fault zone (BFZ) in central...

Shear and convective turbulence in a model of thermohaline intrusions

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael
Abstract:: Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between oceanic water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy resulting from the vastly differing diffusivities of heat and salt in seawater. The flows are composed of stacked intrusions that flux more buoyant and...

Patterns of retention and vagrancy in larval Lost River and shortnose suckers from Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon

Creator:: Reithel, Susan A.
Abstract:: Larval transport and retention of two endangered suckers were studied in a highly altered lacustrine/riverine complex. The endangered populations of Lost River sucker, Deltistes luxatus, and shortnose sucker, Chasmistes brevirostris, in Upper Klamath Lake (UKL), Oregon are the largest remnant populations of these suckers. Downstream of UKL, the Keno Impoundment...
