Numerical Investigation Of The Flow Of A Stratified Fluid Past A Flat Plate, David L. Eddingfield

Mechanical Engineering ETDs

The two dimensional stratified flow past a flat plate is investigated numerically. The coordinates are stretched with a hyperbolic tangent mapping in order to place the computational boundaries at a sufficiently large distance from the plate. The growth of a boundary layer from the back of the plate as reported by R. R. Long was confirmed numerically. The boundary layer is found to increase in thickness from the back of the plate for values of the ratio of the Reynolds number to the Richardson number up to at least 20. In addition, the upstream influence of the plate is found …

Inelastic Reserve Capacity Of Cold-Formed Beams With Stiffened Compression Elements, Hans Peter Reck, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

PREFACE The present Report No. 356 deals with the inelastic reserve strength of cold-formed beams with stiffened compression flanges. The usual elastic design criterion regards the initiation of yielding in the outer fibers as defining failure. This criterion is used in Part I of the A.I.S.C. Specification and in the A.I.S.I. Specification for the design of steel structures. On the other hand, for so-called compact sections, as defined in the A.I.S.C. Specification, it is known that the actual maximum moment of a cross-section exceeds the initial yield moment and is reached only when yielding spreads over the entire section (complete …

Interpretation Of Tests On Welded Light Gage Steel Connections, Mark Shephard, George Winter, Teoman Peköz

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION This report interprets the results of three sets of test data (Ref. 1 through 3) on welded light-gage cold-formed steel specimens. The tests were conducted at Cornell for the American Iron and Steel Institute on 252 symmetric puddle and fillet welded connections tested under monotonically increasing static load. The tested connections consisted of 130 shop welded specimens and 122 field welded specimens. All test connections had the same basic configuration being made up of center plates, referred to as parent plates or connected plates in the references, butted together with one or, in the case of the double sheet …

Pedestrian Accidents In Kentucky, Charles V. Zegeer, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Pedestrian accident data in Kentucky were analyzed for 1972 and 1973 on a rural, urban, and statewide basis. Results showed that about 1500 pedestrian accidents occur in Kentucky each year. About 30 percent of the pedestrian accidents in rural areas and four percent in urban areas are fatal. Although about 78 percent of Kentucky's pedestrian accidents occur in urban areas, over 62 percent of the pedestrian fatalities occur in rural areas. Specific characteristics of pedestrian accidents were identified and related to human, environmental, and time factors. Highway and street improvements and safety measures generally considered to be effective in minimizing …

Identification Of Hazardous Locations On City Streets, Charles V. Zegeer

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of this study was to develop an effective method for identifying hazardous locations in Kentucky cities (over 2,500 population). Methods used in 45 other states were reviewed. Accident information for 69 of the 97 cities over 2,500 population was used to develop criteria for an identification method.

A Number Method was selected for initial identification of midblocks and intersections on arterial-collector streets and on urban freeways. Rate-Quality Control Methods were included in the form of a critical rate factor computed for each location. A set of critical rate curves was constructed for easy determination of critical locations. A …

Mode Properties Of Annular Gain Lasers, Lee W. Casperson, Mohammad Shabbir Shekhani

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The properties of a new class of laser resonators are investigated theoretically and experimentally. In these lasers the radiation propagates longitudinally in an annular amplifying medium, and useful low loss modes can be obtained even when the axial region is obscured. Alignment characteristics and far field patterns are discussed, and experiments have been conducted using coaxial double-discharge CO₂ devices.

Adsorption On Activated Flyash, John William Kubarewicz

Theses

An experimental study was undertaken to compare the adsorptive characteristics of activated carbon, flyash, and activated flyash. Due to the contradictory evidence available in the literature, emphasis was placed on the effect of acid activation on the physical properties of the adsorbent. The experiment consisted of two parts; batch isotherm studies, and continuous column operations. An artificial sewage composed of a mixture of deionized water and beef broth was used as the adsorbate. This solution was prepared daily and exerted a COD of 225 ± 30 mg/l. Flyash activation was found to increase the degree of adsorption indirectly rather than …
