As the power grid becomes more complex and integrated with communication networks, cyber-attacks become an increasingly relevant threat. CYPRES (Cyber Physical Resilient Energy Systems) is a system for simulating cyber and ...
-
Numerous experimental methods are available to predict the hazards associated with thermal runaway (TR) and subsequent catastrophic failure of lithium-ion batteries (LIB), but these methods are time-intensive and costly. ...
-
(2009-05-15)The objective of this research was to investigate the retention of arsenate (iAsV), arsenite (iAsIII), monomethyl arsenate (MMAsV) and dimethyl arsenate (DMAsV) by calcite and assess the impact of dissolved Ca2+, Mg2+, ...
-
(2013-07-30)The studies in this dissertation aim at advancing our scientific understandings about physical processes involved in the aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction and quantitatively assessing the impacts of aerosols ...
-
(2018-11-16)The Allende-Piedras Negras (APN) aquifer is located between the state of Texas (USA) and the state of Coahuila (Mexico). The Rio Grande/Rio Bravo crosses the aquifer acting as a natural and political divide between both ...
-
(2017-12-13)Humans live in an ever-changing, increasingly-complicated world. As the fundamental understanding of systems changes, those tasked with managing these may find themselves faced with new situations with problems more complex ...
-
(2017-08-24)With the widespread availability of two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic modelling, it is important to understand its potential advantages over currently accepted one-dimensional (1D) hydraulic models to further the disaster ...
-
(2012-07-16)Most paved roads in the United States are surfaced with asphalt. These asphalt pavements suffer from fatigue cracking and thermal cracking, aggravated by the oxidation and hardening of asphalt. This negative impact of ...
-
(2010-07-14)Proposes a new method to model the geometric form of articulated mechanical parts while simultaneously testing their range of motion in relation to other nearby parts. Utilizing a database of mechanical parts in virtual ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Under the Clean Water Act (CWA) program the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) listed 110 stream segments with pathogenic bacteria impairment in 2000. The current study was conducted to characterize the ...
-
(2016-11-08)Nacre is an inner layer of seashells that is a tough yet stiff natural composite composed of microscopic mineral polygonal tablets bonded by a tough biopolymer. This type of structure is called staggered structure and it ...
-
(2012-10-30)The classical theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics for a quasi-static crack in an infinite linear elastic body has two significant mathematical inconsistencies: it predicts unbounded crack-tip stresses and an ...
-
(2017-02-01)The global population is increasing in size and economic affluence, and sustainable intensification of agriculture is necessary to meet projected fuel and food demands without increasing input of limited resources like ...
-
(2009-05-15)Because of an ever-increasing threat of foreign animal disease outbreaks in the United States, there is a desire to develop strategies to prevent the occurrence of a foreign animal disease and control an outbreak if it ...
-
(2017-01-17)Finite element procedures combined with microstructure development modeling are integrated to quantitatively predict the viscoelastic/viscoplastic relaxation of cement paste due to intrinsic calcium silicate hydrate ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)In this work, the reaction scheme of the MTO process was written in terms of elementary steps and generated by means of a computer algorithm characterizing the various species by vectors and Boolean relation matrices. The ...
-
(2018-05-30)Acid fracturing in heterogeneous carbonate formations is extremely challenging to model. To obtain an acceptable acid penetration distance and fracture surface etched-width profile, a reliable fracture propagation model ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Dynamic models of a reactive distillation column have been developed and implemented in this work. A model describing the steady state behavior of the system has been built in a first step. The results from this steady ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Fractured reservoirs are commonly simulated using the Dual Porosity model, but for many major fields, the model does not match field results. For these cases, it is necessary to perform a more complex simulation including ...
-
(2017-07-07)The population is expected to continue to rise in the future. A greater amount of automobile utilization is expected, leading to a rapid increase in the transportation sector, a sector heavily dependent on CO2 emission ...
