(2022-11-18)Drowsy driving is a major safety concern that has resulted in many deaths and injuries over the years. One population that is particularly susceptible to drowsy driving is night-shift nurses due to their extended hours of ...
-
(2017-10-09)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are promising candidates for solid state actuators since they have the highest energy density among all active materials. However, before SMA solid state actuators can be used in practical ...
-
(2012-07-16)Fatigue cracking is one of the most common distresses of asphalt pavements, whereas healing is a counter process to cracking which alleviates cracking damage and extends fatigue life of asphalt pavements. Most of existing ...

Dynamic cognitive flexibility: Influences of time and personality traits on voluntary task selection (psyArXiv, 2021-03)Cognitive flexibility, or the ability to flexibly switch between different task sets, is often operationalized using performance on voluntary task switching (VTS) paradigms. In VTS paradigms, performance is commonly measured ...

(2013-12-12)Four Quarter Horses (2 to 3 yr; 401 to 432 kg BW) were used in a simple crossover design for a 49-d study to determine the effect of dietary starch levels on post-exercise glycogen replenishment. Horses were fed either ...
-
(2022-12-09)Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) allows for complex geometry parts to be fabricated without sacrificing mechanical properties/behaviors. Though this process is greatly beneficial, it is still hindered by its build volume ...
-
(2020-04-13)This research focuses on the analysis of the mechanical responses of a recycled high-density polyethylene glass fiber composite material when subjected to uniaxial tension fatigue. The desired properties were determined ...
-
(2023-07-23)Crack growth in rail heads can lead to rail breaks that cause delays in train operation and, in rare cases, train derailments. As a result, it is important to develop models that are able to accurately predict crack growth ...

(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Fatigue crack growth in ±-Zirconium phosphate/epoxy nanocomposites was investigated. A new fatigue testing technique was implemented for miniature samples. Two different methods strength of materials and Rayleigh-Ritz - ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Fatigue cracking is one of the fundamental distresses that occur in the life of a Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete (HMAC) pavement. This load induced distress leads to structural collapse of the entire pavement ultimately and can ...
-
Fatigue is a debilitating condition especially in the emergency response (ER) domain where long work hours and sustained cognitive demands impede job performance. Typical solutions such as pharmacological aids (e.g., ...
-
(2016-04-08)Advancement in computational sciences has made Computational Fluid Dynamics an attractive alternative to simulate fully three dimensional VIV motion for very long marine risers (L/D > 1000). In this study, an unsteady ...
-
(2016-07-15)Fatigue is the most common mechanical cause of engineering failures, but it is not well understood. Current methods of predicting fatigue failure rely on empirically-derived equations instead of having a truly scientific ...
-
(2014-04-18)Thermally responsive shape memory alloys (SMA) demonstrate interesting properties like shape memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE). SMA components in the form of wires, springs and beams typically exhibit complex, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Double-nut anchor bolt systems are used in the erection of traffic signal poles, high-mast luminaries, and other highway appurtenances. An absence of a tightening standard for such systems decreases the confidence in their ...
-
(2023-08-16)Fatigue is a significant workplace concern which has shown to exacerbate worker health, injury risk, safety, and productivity, and accounts for $136 Billion in lost productivity and healthcare costs. Exercise-induced ...
