Bonding wood particle composites with foamed adhesive

Creator:: Watters, Allan Eugene
Abstract:: The quality and cost of wood particle composites are substantially determined by how the adhesive that bonds the composite is distributed on the particles. Distribution of the adhesive is controlled by the method of application. Currently the adhesive is applied by spraying it onto the particles. It was hypothesized that...

Serial manure amendments : effects on soil properties and root rot of sweet corn

Creator:: Cox, Bonnie S. Hoffman
Abstract:: The effect of serial (multiple-year) organic matter (OM) amendment on soil properties has been described in some cropping systems, although less is known about the effect of serially amended field soils on soil-borne plant diseases. The objectives of this study were to describe the effects of the third and fourth...

Evaluation of creep behavior of structural lumber in a natural environment

Creator:: Shen, Yuanhua
Abstract:: In order to describe long term creep behavior of structural lumber in a natural environment, a bending test with twenty Douglas-Fir beams subjected to a constant load was set up in an open shed in the Forest Research Laboratory at Oregon State University. Deflections of the beams were measured along...

Evaluation of testing procedures for stiffness properties of plywood

Creator:: Chen, Shaw-sun
Abstract:: Elastic properties of plywood panels are essential for predicting structural behavior of wood systems. The ASTM Standard D 3043-76 which evaluates the moduli of elasticity (MOE) of plywood, treats these panels as one dimensional beams instead of two-dimensional plates, which results in an overestimate of the MOE. Improved procedures for...

An integrated physics-chemistry course in a liberal arts college

Creator:: McIntosh, Harold Leroy
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study In most liberal arts colleges, the majority of students enrolled are primarily interested in a liberal education. To meet the requirements of its students, several colleges have introduced a relatively new program in the sciences; this program is the integrated science course. This study attempts to...

A numerical study of solid fuel combustion in a moving bed

Creator:: Ko, Daekwun
Abstract:: Coal continues to be burned by direct combustion in packed or moving bed in small size domestic furnaces, medium size industrial furnaces, as well as small power stations. Recent stringent restrictions on exhaust emissions call for a better understanding of the process of combustion of coal in beds. The present...

Deterministic and stochastic behaviors of a piecewise-linear system

Creator:: Mha, Ho-Seong
Abstract:: The (nonlinear) response behavior of a piecewise-linear system is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic excitations in this study. A semi-analytical procedure is developed to predict the system behavior by evaluating the joint probability density functions of the Fokker-Planck equations of the stochastic piecewise-linear system under random excitations via a...

Analysis of energy conversion systems, including material and global warming aspects

Creator:: Zhang, Mingyuan
Abstract:: With the rapid increase of the world energy demand and consumption, the method and techniques to analyze, improve and optimize energy conversion systems have to deal not only with direct fuel exergy (energy) consumption, but also with other resources, which have associated exergy consumptions, and with environmental impacts, such as...
