Correlation Of Shear Strength Between Longitudial And Transverse Specimens, Erasto A. Fernandez
Correlation Of Shear Strength Between Longitudial And Transverse Specimens, Erasto A. Fernandez
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis, new methods for shear strength are proposed and backed up through extensive experimentation, ABAQUS models and data analysis of Titanium welds of three different alloys. The results are compared with those obtained by using the procedure outlined by AWS B4 for calculating Shear Strength in the transverse and longitudinal directions; this equation is widely used by the American Welding Society (AWS) and all those in search of more efficient designs involving welding.
It is a well-documented issue that the equation provided by AWS yields a large discrepancy between the values for shear strength of longitudinal and transverse …

The Modified Coastal Storm Impulse Parameter, Sayed Gholamreza Mahmoudpour
Civil & Environmental Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The correlation of the morphological changes to the coast and storm characteristics is among interests of coastal engineers. Better understandings of a storm's potential forces ultimately lead engineers to safer designs and minimize the damages. Therefore, a need to quantify the storm potential forces to a storm parameter is evident. The desired storm parameter is to consider all the relative physical factors and is to present realistic results that then can be proven by actual nature response.
The concept of Coastal Storm Impulse (COSI) parameter was first introduced by Basco and Klentzman (2006) and is based on the conservation of …
