(2012-10-08)Rutting is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements and it increases road roughness and traps water, which leads to wet-weather accidents due to the loss of tire-pavement friction and hydroplaning. The fundamental ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixture fatigue characterization constitutes a fundamental component of HMAC pavement structural design and analysis to ensure adequate field fatigue performance. HMAC is a heterogeneous ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)In this work, a constitutive theory is developed, within the context of continuum mechanics, to describe the creep deformation of single crystal superalloys. The con- stitutive model that is developed here is based on the ...
-
(2020-05-07)The nematic phase represents the most fluid liquid crystalline phase. The high shape anisotropy and long range orientational order of constituent particles in this phase yields wide-ranging applications from high strength ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This dissertation has two parts. Part one studies the anisotropy effect on homogeneous superconducting wire-networks, by using the Abrikosov approach. The network s assumed to have an infinite square lattice geometry. An ...
-
(2009-05-15)The hot-workability of Titanium (Ti) alloys is of current interest to the aerospace industry due to its widespread application in the design of strong and light-weight aircraft structural components and engine parts. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a granular composite material stabilized by the presence of asphalt binder. The behavior of HMA is highly influenced by the microstructure distribution in terms of the different particle sizes ...

(2015-11-06)Anisotropy occurs in a wide range of applications. Examples include porous media, composite materials, heat transfer, and other fields in science and engineering. Due to the anisotropy, the physical property could vary ...
-
(2017-05-15)Cylindrical Li-ion cells have one of the highest energy density and power density of all Li-ion cell types and typically employ a spiral electrode assembly. This spiral assembly leads to a large anisotropy leading to a ...
-
(2016-07-05)Increasing need for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions makes Magnesium alloys ideal candidates for structural applications, notably in transportation. However, limited formability at room ...
-
(2015-11-24)Core data and well-log interpretation results are usually comparable in homogenous conventional reservoirs. However, in the case of thinly-bedded, heterogeneous formations consisting of organic-rich mudrocks and carbonates, ...

Stream Depletion and Pumping Test Interpretation in a Horizontally Anisotropic Aquifer Near a Stream (2016-12-01)Conventional pumping test theories such as Theis solution often assume a horizontally isotropic media. Horizontal anisotropy exists in certain aquifer settings and its impact on pumping tests is not clearly demonstrated ...
-
(2014-07-01)The need for high strength, light weight structures in automotive and aerospace applications has driven a resurgence of interest in magnesium and its alloys. Unlike aluminum, wrought magnesium typically has a high degree ...
