Calibration Of An Instrument To Calibrate Accelerometers, Nader Khorzad

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this research was to calibrate an instrument with which an accelerometer could be calibrated accurately. The instruments used were a piezoelectric shaker and a modified Michelson interferometer together with necessary electronic equipment. This equipment was used to calibrate a Kistler Model 808A accelerometer.

Weight was added to the shaker in the second part of this experiment in order to determine its effect on the amplitude and frequency of oscillation of the shaker.

Results show that this instrument may be used to calibrate an accelerometer quite accurately. The weight added to the shaker will effect only the amplitude …

A Study Of Sedimentation In A Well Regulated Major Drainage Basin - The Monongehala, Allegheny And Upper Ohio Rivers, William S. Wood

Masters Theses

"This investigation is concerned with the study of various programs employed in reducing and controlling sediment. The measures employed by the U.S. Soil Conservation and Forestry Services to control and reduce erosion, the primary source of sediment, was studied. The flood control and river navigation structures constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the effect of these structures on sedimentation was also evaluated. State and local community regulation and control of exploited natural resources was studied to determine their influence on the generation and control of sediment.
The Allegheny, Monongehala and upper Ohio River Drainage Basin …

The Effect Of Moisture On The Compressive And Tensile Strength On A Variety Of Rock Materials, Richard A. Martin

Masters Theses

"The effect of moisture on the strength characteristics of rock materials has been neglected in the study of rock mechanics. This study was undertaken to determine if there was any effect on the compressive and the tensile strength of rock by varying the moisture content from an oven-dried to a saturated condition.
It was found, by testing eight different rock materials that the compressive strength per unit area decreased with an increasing moisture content. The tensile strengths per unit area, with the exception of the quartzite and the porphyry samples, also decreased with an increase in moisture content. The tensile …

The Development Of The Sonic Pulse Technique And Its Comparison With The Conventional Static Method For Determining The Elastic Moduli Of Rock, James Harold Deatherage

Masters Theses

"The determination of the elastic moduli of rock has long been a problem to the geophysicist, mining engineer and the civil engineer. There is a considerable amount of literature on determining Young's modulus by the sonic pulse technique. However, the use of this technique to determine the three elastic constants, Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio from measurements of both the longitudinal and shear wave velocities presents some difficulties, especially in the method of accurately determining the shear wave velocities.

In this thesis, what is believed to be a new method of measuring shear wave velocities in the laboratory …

A Study Of Shear Failures In Footing, Fred V. Cole

Masters Theses

"The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a model study of the basic mechanism of failure in shear of reinforced concrete footings through the use of plaster models.

Sixty-nine models were constructed and loaded to failure on a foundation of sand using various combinations of size and depth of model and column size. Load - deformation data and failure loads were recorded.

It was determined that model studies are a feasible procedure to analyse the mechanism of failure in footings. The perimeter of the loaded area was found to be the critical section in determining the ultimate shearing strength …

The Effect Of Epoxy Resin In Stone And Slag Concrete, James Chun-Min Chou

Masters Theses

"In concrete construction, the weight of the structure represents a large portion of the total load carried; thus, there is considerable advantage in reducing the weight of the concrete. To obtain this result, there are at least three approaches (1). The first method of producing lightweight concrete is by means of substituting a porous lightweight aggregate of low specific gravity for the ordinary aggregate. The second method relies on introducing large voids within the concrete or mortar mass; this is known as aerated, cellular or gas concrete. The third method is simply to omit the fine aggregate from the mix …

A Periodic Dielectric Rod Antenna, Robert C. Peirson

Masters Theses

"The periodic dielectric rod antenna structure under consideration consists of identical dielectric rod sections of radius a meters situated on a common axis. These sections are of length 1₁ meters and are separated in free space by distance 1₂ meters.

Field analysis employing Floquet's theorem, in terms of the exemplary TM₀₁ circular mode, gives expressions for the various field components and an eigenvalue equation. Digital solution of this eigenvalue equation establishes the location of propagation bands as a function of frequency. Such bands are characteristic of any periodic wave guiding structure."--Abstract, page ii.

Modal Characteristics Of A Vibrating Truss, Edd Leighman Ghent Jr.

Masters Theses

"In this thesis, a complete technique is presented for the vibration analysis of any planar structure which can be classified in the broad category of trusses or frames. Although a theoretical backdrop is included for the' sake of completeness, the intent is to provide a technique that is readily adapted to computer usage and can be handled with a minimum of confusion or misunderstanding.

The problem is solved by the use of a displacement technique wherein the inertia and stiffness properties of a structure are calculated by superimposing the contributions of each component of the structure. The calculation of these …
