A Model Study Of The Application Of Roof Bolts Under Unsymmetrical Loading Conditions, Friedrich H. K. Esser

Masters Theses

"When coal is extracted by the long wall mining method, two gate-roads on either side of the working face are driven with the advancing operation. In the surroundings of these openings the state of stress which existed prior to mining is not only disturbed by the drifting process of the gate-roads but also by the coal extraction in the long wall, resulting in an "unsymmetrical" stress distribution. Varying incremental pressure components and the high complexity of strata movements make it extremely difficult to control the rock behavior under unsymmetrical conditions by conventional support. Application of roof bolts as an auxiliary …

Gathering Haunch Design Data By Photoelasticity, Richard B. Heagler

Masters Theses

"The haunching of beams and columns and the haunching of rigid frames is performed by design engineers for the purpose of relieving stress concentrations that might occur at discontinuities in structures. The haunch performs this relieving of stress concentration by increasing the rigidity of the structure at regions of high stress. Usually this design step is one of trial and error; that is, the engineer will select a haunch or method of haunching and then check to see if the result is sufficient for his purpose. This can be a time consuming process and can lead to uneconomical design.

A Study Of The Behavior Of Zirconium In Aqueous Solutions And The Separation Of Radioactive Zirconium By Electrodialysis, Charles William Brauer Jr.

Masters Theses

"Nuclear reactor installations designed for power production must of necessity operate at higher energy levels than their experimental precursors. As these facilities increase in number, better solutions must be found for both technical and economic problems.

The disposal of waste materials is of primary importance and will require greater effort if satisfactory disposal methods are to keep pace with the increase of waste materials, produced by the increasing number of new nuclear facilities. The radioactive materials present in this waste material may constitute a valuable by-product from these operations if suitable and economic recovery procedures are developed. If the development …

A Survey Of Merit Rating In Industry, N. K. Nahavandi

Masters Theses

Introduction

Personnel administration is but one phase of industrial management. It has been defined as:

"Personnel administration means organizing and treating people at work so that their effort. singly and collectively, will bring the best results possible. This requires quite specific information about the employee and his job. It implies knowing what the employee is doing, and how and why it differs from what is wanted of him. It implies having some idea of the employees' capacity in relation to the responsibilities of his present assignment. It implies having a measure of the employers' contribution to the organization, and understanding …

Effect Of The Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids Concentration On The Treatment Of Dairy Wastes By Activated Sludge Process, Meredith Hambleton Saxer

Masters Theses

"The effect of the mixed liquor suspended solids concentration on the treatment of dairy wastes by the activated sludge process was investigated to provide original and basic information of value to the waste water treatment field.

The studies were conducted using a continuous flow activated sludge laboratory unit. Two different synthetic dairy waste systems were used in this investigation, the 0.05 Percent Skim Milk Waste System and the 0.1 Percent Skim Milk Waste System. These wastes provided BOD loadings of 43.9 and 91.1 lb. BOD per day per 1000 cu. ft., respectively, at the 12 hour detention period employed. Mixed …

Investigation Of Flow Rates Through A Rockfill Dam With An Internal Spillway, Jerry R. Bayless

Masters Theses

"Tests were performed on a model of a rockfill dam with an internal spillway for the purpose of developing a method of predicting the flow rate through the dam. The flow rate depends upon the head but is affected by the rock size and the height of the impervious core; there- fore, these factors were varied in the study. A relation for flow rate in terms of head was found for each combination of rock size and core height used and was compared to the general weir equation to find the coefficient of contraction; thus the effect of changing core …

An Evaluation Of State Mineral Taxation In Missouri, Jerry Wayne Huffman

Masters Theses

"A study was made to evaluate the present taxes levied on the mineral industry in the State of Missouri. The corporate income tax, corporate franchise tax, and general property taxes were examined, in addition to the mine inspection fees and methods of local assessment of mineral properties.

It is suggested that the State of Missouri revise the method of application of the general property tax to mineral properties. Utilization of the principle of taxation of future profits and employment of qualified appraisers would provide a more equitable application of the general property tax.

It is recommended that the present mine …

Fractionation Of Fission Elements By Electrodialysis, George Joseph Bub

Masters Theses

"The development of nuclear power has presented countless problems to the scientists and engineers of today. A problem of extreme importance is the disposal of radioactive wastes. Another is the recovery of some of the useful radioisotopes from fission product waste solutions. This investigation is concerned with the recovery of some of the fission elements for use in radiochemical and medical research and in industry.

At present little effort is made to recover useful fission elements. The fission product waste solutions are treated to reduce the volume and are stored until the radiological hazard is reduced and are then disposed …

Porous Cooling Of A Pile, Tarsem Singh Purewal

Masters Theses

"In this investigation the problem of a limiting case of steady state one dimensional solid-fluid Newtonian heat transfer is examined in which an incompressible non-heat generating coolant fluid is flowing through a heat generating porous plate.

The effect of grain size on the Newtonian heat transfer in the porous plate with various kinds of internal heat generations is determined analytically. The temperature difference between the solid and the coolant fluid through the porous plate is determined. All the previous studies assume that in the porous plate, coolant fluid temperature and solid temperatures are approximately equal. This analysis eliminates this simplifying …

A Study Of Small Watersheds Within The State Of Missouri, Terence E. Harbaugh

Masters Theses

"The present status of data from watersheds in the under 10 square mile drainage area classification, pages much to be desired. However, this study of 45 small watersheds within the State of Missouri gives an indication that surface runoff from these basins may be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy. The inclusion of a shape factor AL² and its use as a portion of the "basin index" (AL²S^1/2) gives accurate results as a predictor of the "mean annual flood". The mean annual flood may be adequately computed by the formula, MAF = 113(AL^{2 …}

Mechanics Of The Voussoir Arch As Applied To Block Caving, Christopher Haycocks

Masters Theses

"The theories of ground failure in massive rock with special reference to the problem of the mechanics of block caving were studied and evaluated.

The mechanics of arch or dome formation underground were studied quantitatively using the Voussoir arch theory. The effect of shear stress on the arch stability was considered and found to affect the system only when the arch height increased beyond certain limits.

A theory of the mechanism of ground failure in an undercut block using the dome theory was advanced. Photo- elastic model studies were used to support the conclusions reached"--Abstract, page i.

A Model Study Of The Behavior Of Elastic Liners In Shallow Underground Openings, Martin Samuel Oudenhoven

Masters Theses

"Models of epoxy resin were used in a stress freezing technique to determine areas of possible failure in lined circular openings. These models were loaded in a centrifuge for a fixed period of time, after which they were analyzed photoelastically. The material characteristic changes, with time, were recorded on graphs and used in the analysis.

Two types of tests were conducted; one, where the lining thickness was changed and, the other, where materials of the liner and plate material were changed.

The resulting analyses furnished proof that the greater the rigidity of the lining, the higher the stress developed in …

A Weight Loss Technique For The Determination Of Phase Boundaries, Robert Lee Benner

Masters Theses

"An apparatus has been designed and constructed that would continuously record the weight loss of a sample in a flowing inert atmosphere, at a constant temperature.

A technique has been developed to determine the phase boundaries of a binary phase diagram.

Alloys of the magnesium-nickel, cadmium-antimony, copper-cadmium, copper-zinc, and magnesium-zirconium systems were subjected to investigation to verify the operation and resolve a number of limitations of the equipment.

These investigations disclosed that the apparatus gave the best results with alloys having vapor pressures in the range between 1 and 35 millimeters of mercury"--Abstract, page 2.

Ground Water Investigation In The Southern Half Of Franklin County, Missouri, Kemal Piskin

Masters Theses

"Increasing population and industrialization in Franklin County, Missouri, has led to increased demand for water. Much of this demand will be satisfied from ground water resources. Although the general geology of Franklin County has been mentioned in several publications, no detailed study of structure and ground water geology had been done. This thesis consists of study of stratigraphy, lithology, and geologic structure, and analysis of well log data to determine occurrence and availability of ground water, in the southern half of Franklin County.

Stratigraphy and lithology is compiled from previous literature, modified to agree with well log data. Structural geology …

A Study Of Duffing's Equation, Charles Kirby Murch

Masters Theses

"The unforced cases of Duffing's equation and the equation of the simple pendulum are considered by imposing certain conditions on a linear partial differential equation. Geometrical arguments are presented which lead to solutions of the special cases considered.

Undetermined functions of integration in the solutions limit their use to the approximation of systems with small non-linearity"--Abstract, page ii.

Transpiration Cooling Of A Porous Plate, Stephan A. Sayegh

Masters Theses

"Transpiration cooling has long been known as an effective way of removing heat from porous materials. This thesis is a new approach to one of the problems of transpiration cooling in the steady state.

The specific problem considered here is that of a uniform porous plate through which a liquid is forced. This liquid vaporizes at a short distance from the surface through which it is forced and leaves the porous plate at the other surface which is exposed to hot gases. It also protects the hot surface by forming an insulating layer between that surface and the hot gases. …
