Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Selective laser melting is an additive manufacturing technology that opens the possibility to manufacture components with complex geometries that are difficult with traditional manufacturing techniques which could benefit engineering applications such as aviation or structural engineering. However, the lack of a reliable universal predictive model for selective laser melting components could impede the full implementation in industrial applications. Therefore, this dissertation investigates the mechanical behavior of selective laser melting 17-4 PH stainless steel under ultra-low cycle fatigue regime and propose a novel micro-mechanical based modeling using statistical and representative volume element. The first phase of this project examined the mechanical …

Development Of Self-Stressing Ultra High-Performance Concrete Using Expansive Chemical Admixtures, Lane Edwards

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated the effects of expansive chemical admixtures on ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and self-stressing mechanisms. A literature review was performed to determine different types of expansive admixtures for feasibility of the self-prestressing concept. Ultimately it was decided that type-k cement, made by combining Komponent admixture with conventional UHPC, was the most suitable option due to its effects on wet and hardened concrete properties. Mix designs with varying amounts of Komponent were developed to test the effects the admixture had on various properties.

Bond-Breaker Properties Of Different Media For Concrete Pavement Design, Andres Calzacorta May 2023

Bond-Breaker Properties Of Different Media For Concrete Pavement Design, Andres Calzacorta

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Currently Arkansas requires a layer of asphalt as the main bond-breaker over cement treated base for rigid pavement design. The study presented in this paper aims to replicate the results from previous research which demonstrated the bond-breaker properties of concrete curing compounds and geotextiles. Bond-breakers are materials applied to the surface of stabilized bases to reduce the interaction between the base and a pavement cement concrete layer. The excessive interaction between these two layers can lead to cracking in the overlay and reduction of the serviceability life of concrete. The curing compound was applied in a single application (SA, 200 …

Pda/Ptfe Solid Lubricant Coating For 60niti Applications, Charles Richey Miller May 2023

Pda/Ptfe Solid Lubricant Coating For 60niti Applications, Charles Richey Miller

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The intermetallic alloy 60NiTi has a unique combination of high hardness and low elastic modulus, which makes it highly resistant to dents. Additionally, 60NiTi is extremely corrosion resistant and chemically inert. These properties make 60NiTi a desirable material for challenging mechanical component applications with high contact stresses and in harsh environments. However, lubrication issues have hindered the use of 60NiTi because it has poor tribological performance if it is not properly lubricated. The mechanical properties of hardened 60NiTi and its microconstituents were studied by nanoindentation. This study showed that the bulk properties of 60NiTi are driven by the properties of …

Assessment Of Joule Heating Properties Of Various Solder Alloys In Bga Assembly, Jimmy-Bao D. Le

Material Science and Engineering Theses - Archive

The continuing demands for smaller, yet higher performance devices have resulted in many revolutionary changes in device packaging in recent years, including the change in package form factors, structure, and the type of solder alloys used for the assembly. Because solder joints are exposed to various electrical and thermo-mechanical stresses, not only at use condition but also during their process into the assembly, they are prone to failure. Especially concerned in this respect is the current density that the solder joint is subjected to as it determines the level of Joule Heating (JH), thus the solder temperature, significantly affecting the …

Optimizing Three-Dimensional Bioengineered Co-Cultures For The Study Of Fibrotic Spinal Cord Injury, Sarah Aly May 2023

Optimizing Three-Dimensional Bioengineered Co-Cultures For The Study Of Fibrotic Spinal Cord Injury, Sarah Aly

Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) have major physical implications on those affected[1]. There are two main types of scarring that occur after injury; they are known as the glial and fibrotic scar. The injured site causes an altered micro-environment which transforms astrocytes from their normal to reactive state, thus inhibiting axonal regeneration. The effect of reactive astrocytes on fibrotic scarring is not fully understood due to limited study[2,3]. Using Three-Dimensional (3D) bioengineered co-cultures of astrocytes and neuroblasts the pathological environment can be replicated and manipulated to further the study of fibrotic scarring.

Performance Of Percussion Driven Earth Anchors For Riverbank Slope Stabilization: Comprehensive Laboratory And Field Studies, Natnael Tilahun Asfaw

Civil Engineering Dissertations - Archive

ABSTRACT: The unpredictability of the stability of embankment slopes is a recurring problem that threatens the safety of the traveling public, as it compromises the integrity of the structures built on them. Slopes that undergo seasonal variations of stream flow are of particular concern, as they are usually located under a bridge structure that spans a stream, and the meandering of the stream flow, the seasonal variations of the flow depth, and the velocity in the channel induce scouring and increase the risk of the bridge failing. Departments of transportation have long attempted to address these concerns by designing systems …
