Simulation of vehicular impacts with safety-shaped barrier
(1987)
In the research described here, a vehicle/barrier crush model was developed and combined with a vehicle model to simulate impacts with the concrete safety-shaped barriers (CSSB). The crush model accounts for the effects ...
Procedures for quantitative sensitivity and performance validation studies of a deterministic fire safety model
(1987)
The increasing number of users of fire models demands their validation by a third party team to investigate the reliability of the models with respect to concerns of potential users. Due to insufficient documentation of ...
Decline curve analysis for real gas wells with non-Darcy flow
(1989)
Isochronal testing of gas wells suggests that high velocity flow in wells containing hydraulic fractures results in an additional pressure drop down the fracture that is flow rate dependent. In addition, wellhead pressures ...
The contribution of standardized extended caution indices to the prediction of performance in college mathematics
(1984)
This study examined the relationships between standardized extended caution indices (ECI2(,z) & ECI4(,z)), mathematical ability, and course performance (precalculus or calculus) to determine whether or not: (a) ECI(,z)s ...
Effects of rigidity and internal flow velocity on marine riser dynamics
(1985)
It is well known that the internal flow may have a pronounced effect on the dynamics of a pipe conveying the fluid and may even cause dynamic instability. The objective of the present study is to examine the effect of the ...
On the effects of post cure cool down and environmental conditioning on residual stresses in composite laminates
(1983)
This dissertation consists of four investigations, all of which concern the effects of post cure cool down path and environmental conditioning upon the residual thermal stresses that develop in composite laminates. The ...
An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction
(1985)
Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
Soil properties affecting corrosion and cathodic protection of steel in Texas soils
(1985)
Corrosion in the United States is a major economic problem with losses in 1984 estimated at $125 billion (Siebert, 1984). A larger portion of this corrosion can be attributed to degradation of underground metallic structures. ...
Factors affecting the phytotoxicity, soil movement, and soil persistence of norflurazon
(1983)
Norflurazon {4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2-((alpha),(alpha),(alpha)-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone} decreased the total chlorophyll content and the chlorophyll a/b ratio of nine plant species. Grain sorghum {Sorghum ...
