  • Quantitative comparison of full field strains experimentally measured and analytically predicted for aluminum foams

    Creator:
    Rutschman, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    Metallic foams have become widely available and have unique properties that make them attractive for use in a variety of engineering applications. Due to their complex structure, the behavior of foams under complex loading conditions is a subject of continued research. Digital volume correlation is a technique wherein full-field strains...

  • Wavelength Dependence of the Scattering of Small Particles by Sunlight

    Creator:
    Bain, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    This project calculates the value of β for ice particles based on wavelength dependent values of their refractive and absorptive indices. β is the ratio of the force due to radiation to the force due to gravity acting on a particle in the solar system. This parameter can later be...

  • Diagnostic analysis for mechanical systems

    Creator:
    Henning, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    An analysis and modeling method of the diagnostic characteristics of a mechanical or electromechanical system is presented. Diagnosability analysis is especially relevant given the complexities and functional interdependencies of modern-day systems, since improvements in diagnosability can lead to a reduction of a system's life-cycle costs. The diagnosis process of a...

  • Gait parameters and falling in the elderly : a prospective study

    Creator:
    Macdonald, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of falls is common in older adults and becomes more frequent with advancing age. Falls and injuries associated with falls are among the most debilitating and traumatic medical problems encountered by the elderly. There is evidence that indicates there may be a cause and effect relationship between specific...

  • Accumulation and effects of 4-nonylphenol in chinook salmon fry and their estuarine amphipod prey

    Creator:
    Hecht, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    4-nonylphenol (NP), a surfactant degradation product, is an unregulated, ubiquitous aquatic contaminant and endocrine disruptor, for which aquatic life criteria are currently under development by U.S. EPA. The effects of NP on estuarine amphipods and chinook salmon fry were investigated, and this dissertation reports research into the impacts of NP...

  • Dynamics and stability of lateral plane locomotion on variable inclines

    Creator:
    Bonnono, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    An actuated, bipedal model is developed to investigate lateral plane locomotion dynamics and stability on inclines. Both the point mass case and rigid body case are considered. Variations in the force-free leg length are determined via inverse dynamics to explicitly and implicitly match prescribed lateral and fore-aft force profiles, respectively....

  • The albedo of Arctic leads in summer

    Creator:
    Pegau, W. Scott and Paulson, Clayton A.
    Abstract:
    Leads act as windows through which solar radiation enters the upper ocean. Studies of the heat budget and ice melt require accurate parameterization of the albedo. Results from summertime measurements of albedo over leads show that under cloudy conditions the average albedo is 0.066 with a standard deviation of 0.007....

  • The Materiality and Neutrality of Neutral Density and Orthobaric Density

    Creator:
    de Szoeke, Roland A. and Springer, Scott R.
    Abstract:
    The materiality and neutrality of neutral density and several forms of orthobaric density are calculated and compared using a simple idealization of the warm-sphere water mass properties of the Atlantic Ocean. Materiality is the value of the material derivative, expressed as a quasi-vertical velocity, following the motion of each of...

  • Orthobaric Density: A Thermodynamic Variable for Ocean Circulation Studies

    Creator:
    de Szoeke, Roland A., Springer, Scott R., and Oxilia, David M.
    Abstract:
    A new density variable, empirically corrected for pressure, is constructed. This is done by first fitting compressibility (or sound speed) computed from global ocean datasets to an empirical function of pressure and in situ density (or specific volume). Then, by replacing true compressibility by this best-fit virtual compressibility in the...
