Creator:: Dano, Bertrand P. E.
Abstract:: Jets in crossflow are used in a wide range of engineering applications and have been studied for more than 60 years. The transversal penetration and structure of a jet placed in a crossflow is known to be strongly three-dimensional. It is believed that, by using a pulsed jet inclined in...

Creator:: Bessey, Eric G.
Abstract:: Air compressors are a significant industrial energy user and therefore a prime target for industrial energy audits. The project goals were to develop a software tool, AIRMaster, develop a methodology for performing compressed air system audits, and conduct field audits to refine the methodology and assess savings potential from six...

Creator:: Maunder, Cary R.
Abstract:: A distinct characteristic of legged locomotion is its periodic nature. This periodic motion, in the form of a periodic orbit, has been the target of many walking and running control strategies. The spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) has become a popular model of sagittal plane locomotion, exhibiting behavior characteristic of...

Creator:: Edward, Lee M.
Abstract:: Based on experimental investigations the present study evaluates flow instability and void fraction in a fractal-like branching microchannel network with rectangular cross-section. The hydraulic diameter of the channels ranged from 308μm at the inlet to 143μm at the outlet. The flow network used is characterized by set branching ratios for...

Creator:: Lovejoy, Steven C.
Abstract:: A need exists to develop a non-destructive testing technique that can identify the formation and propagation of diagonal tension cracks in conventionally steel reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) highway bridges in the State of Oregon. Such a technique could be included into a structural health monitoring (SHM) system installed on...

Creator:: Mueller, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: The increasing level of complexity in systems creates a growing challenge for engineers to design safe and reliable systems. The growing complexity can lead to possible moments when situations occur that were unanticipated or were not known that they could occur by designers and leave the system in an undesirable...

Creator:: Thorud, Johnathan D.
Abstract:: A constrained thin film desorption scheme has been experimentally tested to determine the desorption rates for water from an aqueous lithium bromide mixture through a confining membrane. Variable conditions include the inlet concentration, pressure differential across the membrane, and channel height. Desorption takes place in a channel created between two...
