Inventory Of Indiana County Bridges, Jean E. Hittle Jan 1969

Inventory Of Indiana County Bridges, Jean E. Hittle

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

The purpose of this report is to bring county bridge needs into focus-state-wide and county-by-county-through a detailed computerized inventory listing of all existing county bridges. Each county's inventory listing has been further summarized as to the number of bridges by length and width categories, along with an estimated replacement cost. This inventory report thus gives a measure and dimension to the county bridge problem. Hopefully this information will assist local road officials, legislative study groups, and members of the General Assembly in weighing alternate solutions to the financing of county bridge programs.

A Crystallization Study Of A Tetrasilicic Fluormica Glass, William H. Daniels Jan 1969

A Crystallization Study Of A Tetrasilicic Fluormica Glass, William H. Daniels

Doctoral Dissertations

"The transformation of a synthetic mica composition K₂Mg₅Si₈O₂₀F₄ from amorphous to crystalline structure was studied isothermally at selected temperatures from 560°C to 1150°C. thermal changes associated with the transformation were followed by differential thermal analysis techniques. Structural changes promoted by the isothermal treatments were observed by density measurements, Debye-Scherrer X-ray diffraction techniques, electron replication microscopy, and electron scanning microscopy. Isothermal treatment at 450°C for 9 hours produces structural ordering in quenched K₂Mg₅Si₈O₂₀F₄ glass. Fluorine exerts a significant influence on the transformation temperature; decreasing amounts of fluorine producing increasing transformation temperatures. The crystallizing phase rapidly attains a limiting particle size and …


A Finite Element Method For Geometrically Nonlinear Large Displacement Problems In Thin, Elastic Plates And Shells, Ronald August Melliere Jan 1969

A Finite Element Method For Geometrically Nonlinear Large Displacement Problems In Thin, Elastic Plates And Shells, Ronald August Melliere

Doctoral Dissertations

"A finite element method is presented for geometrically nonlinear large displacement problems in thin, elastic plates and shells of arbitrary shape and boundary conditions subject to externally applied concentrated or distributed loading. The initially flat plate or curved shell is idealized as an assemblage of flat, triangular plate, finite elements representing both membrane and flexural properties. The 'geometrical' stiffness of the resulting eighteen degree-of-freedom triangular element is derived from a purely geometrical standpoint. This stiffness in conjunction with the standard small displacement 'elastic' stiffness is used in the linear-incremental approach to obtain numerical solutions to the large displacement problem. Only …


A Method For Determining Transient Stability In Power Systems, Charles A. Gross Jan 1969

A Method For Determining Transient Stability In Power Systems, Charles A. Gross

Doctoral Dissertations

"Given a three phase ac power system consisting of synchronous alternators interconnected by transmission lines and other items of electrical transmission equipment, a method is presented which determines the stability of the system when subjected to a three phase symmetrical fault, and to the subsequent clearing of the fault. It is inherent in the method that an estimation of system stability, assuming an instantaneous clearing of the fault, is available. The critical clearing time is therefore determined. The effect of a speed control loop on the system's largest machine is investigated. The method is applied to two, three, four, and …


A Theoretical Study On The Interpretation Of Resistivity Sounding Data Measured By The Wenner Electrode System, Siew Hung Chan Jan 1969

A Theoretical Study On The Interpretation Of Resistivity Sounding Data Measured By The Wenner Electrode System, Siew Hung Chan

Doctoral Dissertations

"This thesis deals with a theoretical study on the interpretation of resistivity sounding data measured by the Wenner electrode system. The objectives of this investigation are twofold: (i) to derive from the apparent resistivity data some suitable functions from which the resistivity and thickness of each member of the sequence of layers composing the earth may be determined, and (ii) to devise suitable methods for analyzing the resulting functions. In this investigation it is shown that the solution of the boundary value problem associated with an n-layered earth model leads to an integral equation for the Wenner electrode system. This …


Calorimetry Of Room Temperature Deformed Copper, George Juri Filatovs Jan 1969

Calorimetry Of Room Temperature Deformed Copper, George Juri Filatovs

Doctoral Dissertations

"An adiabatic anisothermal differential calorimeter for the study of room temperature deformed 99.999% pure copper has been constructed. An annealed and a deformed specimen were heated at a constant rate in adiabatic surroundings and the differences in energy released between samples was obtained. The control circuits were automatic. Deformation was by elongation ranging from 12 to 40%, and the corresponding energy found was from 1.9 to 5.3 calories/gram-atom. No recovery energy was found. The results obtained generally agree with published results and, in particular, verify Gordon's isothermal annealing results. It is proposed that the criteria for the presence of recovery …


Diffusion Of Iron And Cobalt In Nickel Single Crystals, Charles Frederick Heuer Jan 1969

Diffusion Of Iron And Cobalt In Nickel Single Crystals, Charles Frederick Heuer

Doctoral Dissertations

"Diffusion coefficients of iron-59 in nickel have been determined in the temperature range 815°C to 1200°C. The temperature dependence can be represented by an Arrhenius type relationship,...The effect of the isotopic mass on the diffusion coefficient of cobalt in nickel has also been investigated. The isotope effect parameter, E, was found to vary from .26 to .84 over the temperature range 970.5°C to 1200°C. Both results are consistent with the single vacancy mechanism of diffusion. No evidence of divacancy contributions to the mass transport has been found"--Abstract, Page i.


Numerical Inversion Of The Laplace Transformation And The Solution Of The Viscoelastic Wave Equations, Abbas Ali Daneshy Jan 1969

Numerical Inversion Of The Laplace Transformation And The Solution Of The Viscoelastic Wave Equations, Abbas Ali Daneshy

Doctoral Dissertations

"In the numerical inversion of Laplace transform two general techniques of inversion are analyzed; a study of the procedures based on an expansion of f̄(s) by a polynomial in 1/s (Salzer's method) provides accurate results for certain ranges of t. A curvature criterion for the selection of the range of points for polynomial interpolation, and a geometric distribution in this interval markedly improves the range and the degree of accuracy of inversion. The results may be further improved by multiplying f̄(s) by 1/s of 1/s². Other procedures are based on approximation of f̄(t). This investigation includes a general review of …


Signal Distortion In A Regenerative Frequency Divider, Carl Ray Ryan Jan 1969

Signal Distortion In A Regenerative Frequency Divider, Carl Ray Ryan

Doctoral Dissertations

"A regenerative frequency divider can be constructed with one integrated circuit and a single-pole tuned circuit. The divider can be used as a means for reducing the modulation index of either deterministic or random signals. This reduction in modulation index can simplify many signal processing schemes. This technique can be used up to S-band frequencies. The mathematical model of the regenerative frequency divider corresponds very closely to that of a first order Phase Locked Loop (PLL). The loop gain is determined in part by the nonlinear element used in the feedback loop. The loop gain is also proportional to the …


A Study Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Acetylene On Platinum-Gold Alloys, Christopher Kuo-Chieh Wu Jan 1969

A Study Of The Anodic Oxidation Of Acetylene On Platinum-Gold Alloys, Christopher Kuo-Chieh Wu

Doctoral Dissertations

"The anodic oxidation of acetylene on Pt-Au alloys of four compositions (80-20, 60-40, 40-60, and 20-80 Pt-Au) was studied at 80°C in solutions of constant pH and unit normality. Currents were measured as a function of potential and partial pressure of acetylene. The effects of temperature on current in 1 N H₂SO₄ and 1 N NaOH and the coulombic efficiencies for CO₂ production were determined. The experimental results indicated that the alloys can be classified into three groups, Pt-rich, Au-rich, and intermediate compositions. A transition region (change of the mechanism) was found for the Au-rich alloys. The oxidation can be …


Dynamic Response Of Circular Plates To Transient And Harmonic Transverse Loads Including The Effect Of Transverse Shear And Rotary Inertia, Perakatte Joseph George Jan 1969

Dynamic Response Of Circular Plates To Transient And Harmonic Transverse Loads Including The Effect Of Transverse Shear And Rotary Inertia, Perakatte Joseph George

Doctoral Dissertations

"Using an improved theory of plate vibration suggested by R. D. Mindlin which takes into account the effects of transverse shear and rotary inertia, free and forced transverse vibrations of uniform circular plates are studied and the results compared with those obtained using the classical theory of plate vibration. The governing equations are developed in polar coordinates using the equations of elasticity. Frequency equations for axisymmetric and antisymmetric vibrations are derived for solid circular plates under different boundary conditions and for an annular plate rigidly mounted on a shaft. The response of plates to different types of rapidly applied axisymmetric …


Water Quality Telemetry, Final Progress Report, Duard S. Woffinden, Allen D. Kartchner Jan 1969

Water Quality Telemetry, Final Progress Report, Duard S. Woffinden, Allen D. Kartchner

Reports

Water quality standards are now part of the legal code set up to control water pollution. In order to ascertain that these standards are being met, it is mandatory to monitor any river system over which control must be maintained. For optimum, usefulness, data on the monitored variables should be available on a real time basis at any time throughout the 24-hour day. Remote sampling stations and a telemetry link represent the most practical means of accomplishing this end. A water quality monitoring system utilizing radio telemetry has been developed at the Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL). The system consists …
