Abstract:: The parallel implementation of a large number of functional units is necessary for any industrial scale microfluidic process. The concept of a 'numbering up' strategy where a single highly optimized functional unit that has a low individual production is replicated a large number of times to create a device that...

Creator:: Garibotti, Cristiano Rodrigues
Abstract:: In this paper we develop an upscaling technique for non-Darcy flow in porous media. Non-Darcy model of flow applies to flow in porous media when large velocities occur. The well-posedness results for theory of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. To discretize the model we used lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite...

Creator:: Biederman, Shannon Miriah
Abstract:: Water is one of the most biologically and economically important substances on Earth. A significant portion of Earth's water subsists in the subsurface. Our ability to monitor the flow and transport of water and other fluids through this unseen environment is crucial for a myriad of reasons. One difficulty we...

Creator:: Kidarsa, Adrian
Abstract:: An analysis method for moving loads computes the internal demand history in a structural member at integration points of force-based finite elements as opposed to the end forces of a refined displacement-based finite element mesh. The force-based formulation satisfies strong equilibrium of internal section forces with the element end forces...

Creator:: Potisuk, Tanarat
Abstract:: Large numbers of 1950's vintage conventionally reinforced concrete (CRC) bridges remain in-service in the national bridge inventory. Many of these bridges are lightly reinforced for shear. Evaluation of these bridges to prevent unnecessary and costly repairs requires refined analytical techniques. This dissertation presents finite element (FE) modeling and comparisons of...

Creator:: Davidson, Gregory G.
Abstract:: Wachspress rational functions are ratios of polynomials having certain properties which make them good candidates for basis functions in finite element methods. In addition. it had been theorized that Wachspress rational weight functions should Provide a full-resolution discretization of the neutral particle transport equation in thick diffusive regions, but this...

Creator:: Chansawat, Kasidit
Abstract:: The Horsetail Creek (HC) bridge is an example of an Oregon bridge that was classified as structurally deficient and was not designed to withstand earthquake (EQ) excitations. A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation was performed on the HC bridge to increase flexural and shear capacities for traffic loads. However, a seismic...
