An evaluation of fabric reinforcement of the roadway
structure is made. The study includes a parametric analy
sis using layered elastic theory and a series of large
scale model tests.
The parametric. study analyzes the stresses and
strains of roadway structures with a fabric layer between
tna surface layer and...
The effect of ultra-high pressure on the thermal emf of a
chromelialumel thermocouple is investigated using an indirect
method which does not require a direct knowledge of the temperature
of the pressurized junction. The unknown temperature is written
parametrically as a function of a directly measured quantity, the
electrical power...
A technique previously designed to screen wheat cultivars and
segregating populations for tolerance to Aluminum utilizing nutrient
solutions in growth chambers was found to be efficient in differentiating
among cultivars of wheat, rye, and triticale for tolerance to Al
under greenhouse conditions. A 5°C increase in temperature, from
25°C to...
Verification of fast reactor safety requires experiments
wherein fuel bundles, enclosed in massive steel capsules, are subjected
to simulated accident conditions in reactors such as TREAT(16)
at ANL Idaho. To date, only small bundles (one to seven pins) have
been tested in the experimental series. Determination of the fuel
configuration...
