Abstract:: The molecular weight distributions of two high molecular weight (M[subscript w]>>1 million) polyethylene polymers, WSR-308 and WSR-301, were characterized with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) coupled with a multi-angle laser light scattering detector (MALLS). The M[subscript w] of the WSR-308 was found to be 5.10x10⁶ g/mol with a molecular weight range...

Creator:: Lee, Jaw-fang
Abstract:: The time-domain simulation of wave-structure interactions using the finite element method is presented in this study. Combined initial and boundary value problems for diffraction and radiation of waves by large structures are posed. Linearized free surface boundary conditions are used, but motions of the structural boundaries compared to the wave...

Creator:: Wu, Wei-Cheng
Abstract:: The understanding and prediction how coastal wetland vegetation attenuates wave action has received renewed attention with global climate change impacts and increasing populations on coastlines. Conventional attenuation models utilize empirical drag coefficients, but these coefficients exhibit a wide range of values, and there is some uncertainty in the relative importance...

Full Text:: range 0.12 < Hs/h < 0.34, and the Ursell parameter was in the range 2 < Ur < 68. Frictional losses

Creator:: Oshnack, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: This thesis is comprised of two manuscripts based on a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a vertical wall subjected to tsunami loading. The first manuscript examined tsunami force and pressure distributions on a rigid wall that was fronted by a small seawall. Six different seawall heights...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: measured using wire resistance and ultrasonic wave gauges. Results showed that small individual seawalls

Creator:: Bradner, Christopher
Abstract:: The experimental setup and data are presented for a laboratory experiment conducted to examine realistic wave forcing on a highway bridge superstructure. The experiments measure wave conditions along with the resulting forces, pressures, and structural response of a 1:5 scale, reinforced concrete model of a typical section of the I-10...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: the bridge spans that failed, self weight and resulting friction were the only sources of resistance
