Creator:: DePiero, Anthony H.
Abstract:: The Oregon Department of Transportation is responsible for many steel deck truss bridges containing connection details that are fatigue prone. A typical bridge, the Winchester Bridge in Roseburg, Oregon, was analyzed to assess the loading conditions, stress levels, and fatigue life of the connection details. The analysis included linear-elastic beam...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Walker, Anthony S.
Abstract:: Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...

Creator:: Boren, Blake C.
Abstract:: Vertical Axis Pendulum Wave Energy Converters (VAPWECs) are thought to be both effective and robust at converting ocean wave energy into usable electricity. Seeking to build upon and investigate such potential, this work examines the merits of actively controlling a generic VAPWEC's pendulum for the purpose of increasing the converter's...

Creator:: Patton, John Dennis
Abstract:: This thesis is an engineering report on the creep behavior of power transmission line conductors. Laboratory creep test results are reported for Pheasant, Narcissus and Chukar conductors. The report follows a standard nomenclature and format suggested by the International Study Committee No. 6 of Conference Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques...

Creator:: Alavizadeh, Seyed Nasser
Abstract:: This study is primarily concerned with the measurement of the local radiative component of total heat transfer around a horizontal tube immersed in a large particle fluidized bed at elevated temperatures.Total heat transfer was also measured in order to assess the relative radiation contribution.The radiation measurement probe employs a silicon...

Creator:: Bae, Young Lib
Abstract:: This thesis examines the transient and steady-state temperature performance of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. In contrast to previous studies on this problem, fluid flow in the circumferential direction was considered. Appropriate modeling was included to measure the effect of carry-over on the differential equations describing mass and energy conservation....
