Turbulent pipe flow drag reduction with narrow distribution polystyrene materials : a test of drag reduction theories

Creator:: Yu, Da-Wei David
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The measurement of interphase properties in wood-polystyrene composites utilizing inverse gas chromatography

Creator:: Hong, Zhenqiu
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Experimental and finite-element analysis of stress distributions near the end of reinforcement in partially reinforced glulam

Creator:: Kirlin, Chad P.
Abstract:: Recently, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP lamina) have been applied to glued-laminated (glulam) timber for the purpose of improving bending strength and stiffness. Initially, full length reinforcement using FRP lamina was developed. However, the cost of FRP lamina is a significant portion of the total cost of reinforced glulam. Therefore, it is...

Bond strength investigations and structural applicability of composite fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars

Creator:: Kachlakev, Damian I.
Abstract:: The composite FRP rebars research at Oregon State University was initiated in 1993 principally to develop a non-metallic hollow reinforcement. It was recognized that the tensile properties of such reinforcement are unquestionably superior to steel, but its performance in concrete could be problematic. The bond between FRP rebars and concrete...

The stress-strain relationships in wood and fiber-reinforced plastic laminae of reinforced glued-laminated wood beams

Creator:: Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-
Abstract:: The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...

Improved moisture permeability determinations for packaging films and food coatings

Creator:: Tello-Lopez, Edgar Eduardo
Abstract:: Equipment and procedures for the rapid measurement of the water vapor permeability of polymer films and food coatings has been evaluated. The method uses an electronic sensor to measure the concentration increase in water vapor diffusing through a film into a chamber of known volume. Air of known humidity is...

A parametric study of the design of coathanger dies using computational fluid dynamics

Creator:: Kim, Lance Changyong
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Three-dimensional, nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of laminated composites : a finite element approach

Creator:: Wang, Min
Abstract:: Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inadequate because many polymers exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Classical laminate theory is commonly used in the study of laminated...

Studies of polystyrene (PS) high density polyethylene (HDPE) and PS/HDPE/wood composites from an extrusion process : mechanical properties, rheological characterization and morphology

Creator:: Xu, Bin
Abstract:: The global motivation for this work comes from the desire to fabricate "plastic lumber" with improved mechanical properties (particularly creep resistance) from recycled plastics and wood composites. The present studies have utilized "virgin plastics" of polystyrene (PS), an amorphous, stiff material that exhibits brittle fracture, and high density polyethylene (HDPE),...
