Hygro-mechanical response of clear softwood specimens to compression under cyclic climate

Creator:: Guo, Ning
Abstract:: Hygro-mechanical effect is a general term applied to all phenomena that involves interaction between moisture content and mechanical characteristics of hygroscopic materials by analogy to thermo-mechanical effects. The hygromechanical effects include (but are not limited to) free shrinkage/swelling, effect of moisture on elastic modulus, strength, creep, failure mechanisms, and mechano...

The influence of seismic attack and chloride-induced corrosion on a life cycle inventory assessment of different concrete mixtures

Creator:: Christiansen, Joshua W.
Abstract:: The life cycle assessment (LCA) process is a systematic approach to determining the environmental impacts of different products and processes. LCA is a relative approach that requires functional equivalence for the results to be compared. A method is presented that achieves functional equivalence by equating the reliability indexes being compared....

Evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of continuous improvement training

Creator:: Wiseman, Lindsay M.
Abstract:: Training is a key business process used to increase the skills and knowledge of employees in an effort to improve overall performance. Evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of training processes is necessary to ensure time, money, and resources are used to provide the most benefit possible. This investigation is...

Pressure effects on density-difference driven stratified flow : CFD model of DCC event in the HTGR

Creator:: Magnusson, Jill E.
Abstract:: In a Modular High Temperature Gas Reactor (MHTGR), the Depressurized Conduction Cooldown (DCC) event can be separated into three distinct stages: 1) depressurization, 2) air ingress and, 3) natural circulation. During normal operations, the HTGR utilizes forced convection to move the helium coolant through the reactor core. Thus, during normal...

Microbiological control of food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms in refrigerated foods

Creator:: Al-Zoreky, Nageb
Abstract:: Microgard, a commercially-available pasteurized fermented milk, was found inhibitory to gram negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas putida, some well-known foodborne pathogens (e.g. Salmonella, Yersinia and Aeromonas) and some fungi as revealed by an agar incorporation assay method. Gram positive bacteria, however, were not inhibited. Rather, some bacteria in this group...

Natural circulation scaling of a pressurized conduction cooldown event in the upper plenum of the modular high temperature gas reactor

Creator:: King, Brian M.
Abstract:: In a Modular High Temperature Gas Reactor (MHGTR), the Pressurized Conduction Cooldown (PCC) event is an accident scenario in which there is a loss of forced convection of the coolant through the system but the pressure boundary remains intact. When the PCC event occurs, natural circulation onsets which results in...

A model for simulation of subsurface transport of highway-related water quality constituents

Creator:: Hesse, Edwin Todd
Abstract:: A spreadsheet-based transport model was developed in Microsoft Excel™ as part of a six-year National Cooperative Highway Research Program project conducted at Oregon State University. The model simulated the leaching, transport, removal, and retardation processes that occur in the surface and subsurface pathways of the near highway environment. For all...

Computer aided model generation for high performance dynamometers

Creator:: Ko, Seung-uk
Abstract:: A model has been developed for accurate emulation of the complex behavior of high performance dynamometers used in a broad range of applications including manufacturing systems, biomechanics research, and crash testing. The key objective of this research has been to reach the proper balance between the accuracy of emulation and...
