  • Automation of a low-temperature calorimeter

    Creator:
    Beyer, R. P. (Richard P.)
    Abstract:
    An adiabatic calorimeter operating over the range 5 to 300 K has been automated. Instrumentation includes computer controlled data acquisition, a low-thermal emf multiplexer for switching low-level dc signals, and automatic analog shield controls. Temperature measurements are made with platinum and germanium resistance thermometers, and the thermometer resistances are determined...

  • Using Digital Human Modeling to Evaluate and Improve Car Pillar Design: A Proof of Concept and Design of Experiments

    Creator:
    Mellon, Taylor R. P.
    Abstract:
    Considering human factors in early engineering design stages can improve expensive late stage processes, facilitate user safety, improve product quality and help reduce the need for physical prototyping. Currently, car pillar design (the vertical pillars between windows which connect the roof and car body) provide safety for the passengers in...

  • Shear stress transfer between roots and soil

    Creator:
    Commandeur, P. R.
    Abstract:
    Mass wasting events are a principal form of erosion that occurs on steep forest land throughout the Pacific Northwest. Numerous studies have reported that tree roots help stabilize steep forest land. A complete understanding of the mechanism by which roots strengthen soil would enable modeling to more closely approximate field...
