An experimental investigation into the dynamic collapse phase of drilling fluid discharged into a stratified, flowing environment

Creator:

Albright, Stephen L.

Abstract:

Dumping drilling mud from offshore drilling rigs into the ocean could have a negative impact on the marine environment. Due to this possible impact, the Offshore Operators Committee (OOC) has deemed it necessary to predict the fate of drilling mud discharged into the ocean. Through the funding of OOC and...

Kinematics of arthropod legs : modeling and measurement

Creator:

Albright, Stephen L.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a method for determining the kinematic geometry of arthropod legs. A kinematic description makes possible the analysis of arthropod leg motion, as a prelude to investigating how various arthropod species are able to negotiate diverse terrains. Such knowledge will aid in design of legged vehicles. The focus...
