Structural Design Of Built-Up Plywood Box Beams, Michael J. Sneddon
Structural Design Of Built-Up Plywood Box Beams, Michael J. Sneddon
Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this study, given the background mentioned above, is to investigate the structural design of built-up plywood box beams and to develop an instructional unit based on their design.
The scope shall be limited to statically determinate beams with either uniformly distributed loads or typical girder loadings.
The resulting instructional unit will be designed as an addition to a course in structural wood design at the vocational-technical/community college level.
Studies Of Fracture And Deformed Surfaces Of High Strength Aluminum Alloys By X-Ray Diffraction, Tamma K. Kumar
Studies Of Fracture And Deformed Surfaces Of High Strength Aluminum Alloys By X-Ray Diffraction, Tamma K. Kumar
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
X-ray observations of fatigue fracture and deformed surfaces of 7075-T6 aluminum were conducted in this study. The (111) and (222) diffraction peaks were obtained from the fractured and deformed surfaces. It was observed that in comparison with the base metal, the fracture exhibited line broadening similar to that due to cold working. The broadening is indicative of plastic deformation in the vicinity of the advancing crack tip during the fracture process. Also the different regions of fracture exhibited varying degrees of line broadening. With respect to the fatigue crack, the slow crack growth region showed a greater broadening, and, hence, …

Concrete Ships, Mark L. Lavache
Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers
The incentive behind this study is based on a two-fold premise: 1) that a comprehensive outline of the historical development of concrete shipbuilding and its related technologies is either non-existent or defies discovery, and 2) that although this study is neither based on a hypothesis, nor intended to resolve a problem area or promote a position, its merit lies in its inductive nature. Included are explanations of of the various compositions, uses, and construction techniques relating to reinforced concrete, ferro-cement, and prestressed concrete.
