A sensitivity analysis of traffic assignment
(1988)
The assignment procedure is a powerful tool in the modeling process for the evaluation of land-use and transportation system alternatives. It is generally believed that traffic assignment is highly dependent upon the trip ...
A video-based experimental investigation of wing rock
(1989)
The primary objective of this research was to develop a definitive theory on the cause of wing rock. The study was based on dynamic measurements in both a water tunnel and a wind tunnel on a sharp-edged delta wing with an ...
Application of a functional transformation to simulation of separation processes
(1988)
A functional transformation method has been developed to be used with different techniques for solving separation problems which are difficult to converge. Problems of this kind consist of sets of nonlinear equations with ...
Simulation of two-phase flow through porous media using the finite element method
(1987)
ADD ABSTRACT.
Semibrittle deformation of granite at upper crustal conditions
(1984)
This work addresses semibrittle deformation of rock, characteristic of high temperature and low pressure environments. To enhance the understanding of this multimechanistic deformation regime results are presented on: (1) ...
Sodium hydroxide production in diaphragm-type electolyzers
(1984)
An analysis of the production of sodium hydroxide (caustic) in diaphragm-type electrolyzers is presented. The analysis uses experimental data to characterize diaphragms in terms of measurable properties. These diaphragm ...
A method for measuring capillary pressures and relative permeabilities based upon a transient analysis of a rapid restored-state experiment
(1983)
In this dissertation an improved method for the measurement of capillary pressure and relative permeability is presented. The new technique is a modification of the restored-state capillary pressure experiment. The ...
Fracture diagram for stiffened panel and computer based approach for structural life prediction
(1980)
Over the past few decades the aircraft industry has devoted considerable effort incorporating fracture control procedures in the design of their structures. One of the problems confronting aircraft designers is the modeling ...
Modeling spatial variability of localized lumber properties
(1988)
The primary objective of this research was to develop stochastic models of localized modulus of elasticity (MOE) and tensile strength (T) for laminating lumber. Detailed information on the variability of localized MOE and ...
Impact of alternative energy prices, tenure arrangements and irrigation technologies on a typical Texas high plains farm firm
(1980)
Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
