The thesis was an investigation into the mechanism of precipitation
from solid solution in an Aluminum-0.7% Magnesium-0.6%
Silicon alloy containing iron impurities. Laue x-ray diffraction patterns
were obtained from solution heat treated and aged single crystal
specimens in various crystallographic orientations. Precipitation
related streaking was detected on some of the...
Identifying material parameters in composite plates is a necessary first step in a variety of structural applications. For example, understanding the material parameters of carbon fiber composite is important in investigating sensor and actuator placement on micro-air-vehicle wings for control and wing morphing purposes. Knowing the material parameters can also...
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with the ANC-23 Panel on Sandwich Construction of the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Commerce. Information reviewed and reaffirmed 1960. Original report dated August 1955.
Oxide growth is a common phenomenon on aluminum alloy cladding surfaces in nuclear research and test reactors. Without better understanding of oxide growth, excessive oxide build up on the cladding surface reduces heat transfer capability from fuel to coolant and causes safety concerns due to the potential cladding rupture or...
