Parameters Effecting The Dynamic Properties Of A Saturated Cohesive Soil Tested In Cyclical Simple Shear, William Kenneth Andrew V
Parameters Effecting The Dynamic Properties Of A Saturated Cohesive Soil Tested In Cyclical Simple Shear, William Kenneth Andrew V
Masters Theses
"Cyclical simple shear tests were performed on block samples of a remolded clay mixture of 3 parts kaolinite to 1 part of bentonite mixed at 110% water content. The samples had base sizes of 8x8, 4x4, and 2x2 inches square and heights of 1, 2, 4, and 8 inches. The simple shear tests were performed by using a predetermined sinusoidal displacement, at frequencies of 1, 2, and 5 hertz. The shear modulus which was normalized by dividing it by the shear strength, and the hysteretic damping factor which was expressed as the percent of critical damping, were evaluated from a …
A Transient Method Of Negligible Internal Thermal Resistance For Determining Thermal Contact Conductance In A Vacuum, Richard Chuka Oboka
A Transient Method Of Negligible Internal Thermal Resistance For Determining Thermal Contact Conductance In A Vacuum, Richard Chuka Oboka
Masters Theses
"A transient method for experimentally determining the interface conductance between metallic surfaces in contact is developed. The method applies the theory of negligible internal thermal resistance of one of the materials which form the interface. The method is applicable when the interface conductance is very low, a situation which exists when low conductance interstitial materials are used between contacting surfaces for purposes of thermal isolation. In this investigation, stainless steel wire screens of 10 and 100 mesh were used as interstitial materials between aluminum surfaces in a vacuum environment of 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻⁶ Torr. The interface pressure ranged from 40 …

Turbulent Structure In The Wake Of Sphere, Darrell W. Pepper
Masters Theses
"The study of turbulent wakes is considered necessary to understand the droplet behavior associated with the collision coalescence phenomena in atmospheric clouds. The Vertical Atmospheric Wind Tunnel enables experiments dealing with this droplet behavior to be analyzed. The experiments conducted in the UMR Vertical Atmospheric Wind Tunnel consist of two parts: one is the investigation of the flow field characteristics in the test section of the wind tunnel; the other is the measurement of the turbulent structure in the wake of a sphere. The test section is rectangular in design and has a cross-sectional area of 36 square inches (6 …

Measurement Of Thermal Accommodation Coefficients Of Steel Surfaces, Wing On Ho
Masters Theses
"The thermal accommodation coefficient plays an important role in low density thermal energy transfer measurement. The object of this investigation was to measure the thermal energy transfer between a heated test surface and a water cooled reference surface (flat black lacquer) consisting of two infinite concentric cylinders separated by dry air. Two machined and sanded steel cylinders with mean surface roughnesses of 25 microinches and 7.5 microinches were used as the test surfaces . Measurements were made in the pressure range of 1.2 x 10⁻⁶ mm Hg. to 1.8 x 10⁻⁶ mm Hg. and temperature range for test cylinders of …
Study Of Neutron Reflection From A Curved Surface Using The Monte Carlo Method, Marion Jay Rackley
Study Of Neutron Reflection From A Curved Surface Using The Monte Carlo Method, Marion Jay Rackley
Masters Theses
"The reflection patterns for neutrons impinging on both an infinite parabola and an infinite slab were studied using the Monte Carlo method. In the first case neutrons were sent into an infinite parabola (z =x²/2) moving on the XZ plane parallel to the z axis at 5 points, namely: y = 1.5, x = -1.5; y = 1.5, x = -.75; y = 1. 5, x = 0. 0; y = 15, x =.75; y = 1.5, x = 1.5. The results were that there appeared to be a "focusing" of the scattered neutrons. In the second case, neutrons were …
The Failure Criteria And Deformational Moduli Of Granular Rock, Kyung Chul Ko
The Failure Criteria And Deformational Moduli Of Granular Rock, Kyung Chul Ko
Masters Theses
"Analytical solutions of stress for composite material are obtained by means of mathematical theory of elasticity, assuming spherical inclusions and uniform displacements of boundaries of representative elements. These solutions show that the failure criteria of composite materials are complicated functions of the elastic moduli of matrix, inclusion and composite, and the volume ratio of matrix and inclusion. Combining this theory with Griffith's theory gives a new criteria for brittle failure of granular rook. This theory appears to provide a nearly perfect model for granular rooks, inasmuch as: a) most assumptions used in other criteria are eliminated, b) most phenomena in …

On The Longitudinal Impact Of Two, Thin, Viscoelastic Rods, A. G. Behring, R. B. Oetting
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A one-dimensional representation of the distribution of stress and strain resulting from the longitudinal impact of two elastic rods is developed. A form of the "correspondence principle" is then used to obtain series solutions for stress and strain distributions resulting from the longitudinal impact of two rods of a "Maxwell material." Results of the viscoelastic solutions, obtained by use of nondimensional variables, are presented graphically. © 1970 by ASME.
Radiative Heat Transfer Analysis From A Heated Airport Runway To Fog, Gordon L. Scofield, Tom J. Love
Radiative Heat Transfer Analysis From A Heated Airport Runway To Fog, Gordon L. Scofield, Tom J. Love
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Radiative heat transfer between a plane source and an aerosol is investigated through the Monte Carlo method. Thermal energy is transferred from a long rectangular source to monodisperse natural fog models. The analysis is only for radiative transport and does not include convection which would be coupled in a complete analysis. Direct energy transfer to the droplets of the aerosol is investigated for values of extinction coefficient of 10 km-1 and 80 km-1, absorption coefficient to extinction coefficient ratios of 0·4 and 0·5, and scattering functions of the strong forward and isotropic types. Monochromatic radiation at a wave length of …

Ground-State Wave Function Of Shallow Donors In Uniaxially Stressed Silicon: Piezohyperfine Constants Determined By Electron-Nuclear Double Resonance, Edward B. (Boyd) Hale, Theodore G. Castner
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Stress-induced changes in the ENDOR spectra of a shallow donor electron interacting with various Si29 nuclei neighboring the donor have been experimentally and theoretically investigated. For each of the three measured donors - As, P, and Sb - the compressional, uniaxial stress was applied along the [001] axis and its magnitude corresponded to strains up to 10-3. To describe the observed linear and quadratic shifts and splitting's of the lines in an ENDOR shell, we have defined a set of piezo hyperfine constants. One piezo hyperfine constant was measured for each axis-class shell; three independent piezo hyperfine constants were measured …

Cross Section For Excitation Of The Fourth Positive Band System In Carbon Monoxide By 20-120 Kev Protons, John T. Park, D. R. Schoonover, George W. York
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Excitation cross sections for the fourth positive band system in carbon monoxide have been determined from studies of the energy-loss spectra of 20-120-keV protons incident on gaseous CO targets. The energy-loss spectra had an energy resolution of about 2 eV. Prominent peaks in the spectra were observed at 8.5 and 13.8 eV. The first peak is believed to be due to excitation of the fourth positive band system of CO (X+1A 1, while the 13.8-eV peak covers a number of possible states, including the B+2 and the C+1 states. Changes in the slope of the ionization continuum were noted at …
Theory Of Droplet Growth In Clouds. I. The Transient Stage Of The Boundary-Coupled Simultaneous Heat And Mass Transport In Cloud Formation, John C. Carstens, Joseph T. Zung
Theory Of Droplet Growth In Clouds. I. The Transient Stage Of The Boundary-Coupled Simultaneous Heat And Mass Transport In Cloud Formation, John C. Carstens, Joseph T. Zung
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Two solutions to the system of equations describing the simultaneous heat and mass transport involved in the condensational growth of a droplet in a supersaturated atmosphere are presented. The first, valid for very short times, describes the transient stage of such growth; the second, valid for longer times, presupposes the establishment of a steady-state condition. The two are shown to be complementary for the cases examined. The equations examined satisfy the usual boundary conditions imposed on a drop in a concentric sphere as required by the cellular model for cloud formation. Hence our results can be immediately extended to the …
Temperature Variation In Distribution Of Relaxation Times In Aluminosilicate Glasses, David Wayne Moore
Temperature Variation In Distribution Of Relaxation Times In Aluminosilicate Glasses, David Wayne Moore
Doctoral Dissertations
"The distribution of relaxation times for the alkali peak in a Li₂ O·A1₂O₃ ·2.0SiO₂ glass and for the mixed alkali peak in a 0.5Li₂O·0.5Na₂O·A1₂O₃·2.OSiO₂ glass was studied using the internal friction technique. A lognormal distribution of relaxation times provided the best agreement with the experimental data. The ß parameter of the lognormal distribution function, which is related to the half-height peak width, varied with temperature, indicating that the distribution of relaxation times is dependent upon the activation energy and the activation entropy of the relaxation mechanism. The major contributor to the distribution of relaxation times is a wide distribution in …

The Electrochemical Oxidation Of 1-Pentyne On Platinum And Gold, Michael Jensen Danielson
Doctoral Dissertations
"The anodic oxidation of 1-pentyne was studied at 70°C on Pt and Au electrodes in solutions of H₂SO₄, K₂SO₄, K₂CO₃, and KOH. Pt was studied in a pH range of 0.35 - 12.7 and Au in a range of 10.9 - 12.7. Reaction rates were measured as a function of potential, pH, temperature, and 1-pentyne partial pressure. The coulombic efficiencies for the oxidation to CO₂ were 77 percent in 1 N H₂SO₄ and 69 percent in 1 N KOH on Pt and 43 percent in 1 N KOH on Au. The kinetic parameters on Pt were [partial derivative]V/[partial derivative]log i …
The Surface Effects Of Alkali Halides In The Infrared, Vincent Joseph Llamas
The Surface Effects Of Alkali Halides In The Infrared, Vincent Joseph Llamas
Doctoral Dissertations
"The surface state extension of the shallow donor theory is reviewed. The surface state theory and its applications to F-centers of alkali halides is presented. Experimental infrared data show an absorption which seems to correspond with the ground state to first excited state transition. Surface state concentrations of F-centers as a function of depth into the crystal are given. The ratio of surface to bulk cross sections in KBr and experimental calculations of effective masses in various alkali halides are in excellent agreement with theory. The theoretical cross sections are derived from transition probabilities. However, lack of excited states, the …
Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow With Non-Uniform Inlet Velocity Profiles, Gwok-Liang Chen
Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow With Non-Uniform Inlet Velocity Profiles, Gwok-Liang Chen
Masters Theses
"An analysis is made of laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow development in the entrance region of a parallel-plate channel. The problem is formulated in general for any velocity distribution at the channel inlet by extending the linearization method of Sparrow, Lin, and Lundgren for non-MHD duct flows. This method involves linearization of the inertia terms in the equation of motion by introducing a stretched axial coordinate. A closed form solution is obtained for the velocity distributions which are continuous across the channel and along the length all the way from the entrance to the fully developed region. An expression for the …
Initial Operation And Calibration Of The Umr Supersonic Axisymmetric Wind Tunnel, James Riley Murphy
Initial Operation And Calibration Of The Umr Supersonic Axisymmetric Wind Tunnel, James Riley Murphy
Masters Theses
"Initial testing and a preliminary calibration were conducted in the UMR supersonic variable Mach number axisymmetric blowdown wind tunnel facility. During initial operations problems were encountered with control valve seat failure, control valve response and stability, and automatic operation. After having brittle fracture failures with seats made of nylon, Teflon and Telfon-copper composite, a copper seat was found to perform satisfactorily with minimal valve leakage. Control valve response and stability were greatly influenced by the setting of the needle valve located between the total pressure probe and the controller. The needle valve setting was observed to depend upon the stagnation …

Evaluation Of Cascaded Inertial Vibration Isolation Systems, Rajnikant Bhikhabhai Patel
Masters Theses
"Cascaded inertial vibration isolation systems are examined in this report. Systems employing one, two or three masses in series on isolators are investigated. The objective is to determine if the cascaded systems have appreciable advantages over the classical single mass system. The equations of motion for these systems are derived by applying Newton's second law of motion. The homogeneous and steady state sinusoidal excitation solutions have been established. Transmissibility of forces and moments to the foundation has been obtained for several cases of force excitation. Comparisons of the cases investigated are based upon the principal mode frequencies, mode shapes, center …
A Comparative Study Of Experimental And Computed Compressibility Factors Of Methane-Nitrogen-Carbon Dioxide System, Piloo Eruchshaw Ilavia
A Comparative Study Of Experimental And Computed Compressibility Factors Of Methane-Nitrogen-Carbon Dioxide System, Piloo Eruchshaw Ilavia
Masters Theses
"Experimentally determined compressibility factors of a natural gas with impurities like carbon dioxide and nitrogen are found to differ with the values computed by various methods making use of compositional breakup of the gas. Compressibility factors for five mixtures of known composition were experimentally determined at room temperature, 100ºF, 125ºF, and 150ºF, and at pressure ranging between 1000 psi to 4000 psi. Using the known composition of the mixtures, compressibility factors were calculated by additive volume method and by Eilerts method. The deviation between computed and experimentally determined compressibility factors are at a maximum in the lower and higher pressure …
Anodic Dissolution Of Zinc In Potassium Bromide-Potassium Bromate Solutions, Ying-Cheh Chuang
Anodic Dissolution Of Zinc In Potassium Bromide-Potassium Bromate Solutions, Ying-Cheh Chuang
Masters Theses
"The purpose of this investigation was to study the anodic dissolution of zinc at a temperature of 25°C in Br⁻-BrO₃; solutions. In Br⁻ solutions, it was found that the apparent valences of zinc ions going into solution were approximately the normal value of two. Smaller values were obtained in BrO⁻₃ solutions, with the most pronounced changes occurring in the higher concentrations of BrO⁻₃. An empirical equation was derived relating the apparent valence (zi) to the current density (amp·cm⁻²) and BrO⁻₃ concentration (gmol/liter): 2- zi = 3.11 X i⁰̇̇¹³(CBrO⁻₃)⁰̇⁵⁷ The mechanism for the dissolution of zinc …
Simulation Of A Gas Storage Reservoir With Leakage By A Two-Dimensional Layered Mathematical Model, Steven William Ohnimus
Simulation Of A Gas Storage Reservoir With Leakage By A Two-Dimensional Layered Mathematical Model, Steven William Ohnimus
Doctoral Dissertations
"A generalized mathematical model was developed for two-dimensional compressible fluid flow accounting for the effects of relative permeability capillary pressure, and gravity drainage in addition to the reservoir properties of rock heterogenity and reservoir geometry. The generalized model developed was applied to an aquifer gas storage reservoir in which vertical leakage occurred from the main reservoir to two adjacent overlaying zones. The experimental results of Thomas, et al. were utilized in applying the model to gas storage injection/withdrawal periods yielding reasonable results for the three layers"--Abstract, page ii.
Thermal Expansion Of Tetragonal Pbo, Charles A. Sorrell
Thermal Expansion Of Tetragonal Pbo, Charles A. Sorrell
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Thermal expansion of tetragonal PbO, investigated by high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction in vacuum, is nearly isotropic, with the coefficient in the c0 direction only slightly greater than that in the a0 direction. Volume thermal expansion is only slightly greater than in massicot. Retardation of the litharge‐massicot transformation is tentatively interpreted as the result of very low oxygen partial pressures caused by catastrophic oxidation of the stainless‐steel sample holder and resulting oxygen scavenging by lead vapor.

Exact Solution For A Model Of Dislocation Pipe Diffusion, J. Mimkes, Manfred Wuttig
Exact Solution For A Model Of Dislocation Pipe Diffusion, J. Mimkes, Manfred Wuttig
Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The dislocations are treated as an ideal array of parallel pipes of radius and diffusivity Dp embedded in the bulk material of the diffusivity Db. The exact solution of this problem of diffusion along semi-infinite edge dislocations is presented for cubic, tetragonal, and hexagonal crystals. The solution makes it possible to evaluate the dislocation pipe radius a and the ratio of diffusivities from one experiment. It is applied to experimental data for self-diffusion in tellurium available in the literature. The results of the calculations are a dislocation pipe radius a=(1.5 0.5)x10-4 cm and an activation energy for the pipe diffusion …
