A Framework for Coupled Deformation-Diffusion Analysis with Application to Degradation/Healing
(2012-07-16)
This thesis focuses on the formulation and numerical implementation of a fully coupled continuum model for deformation-diffusion in linearized elastic solids. The
mathematical model takes into account the affect of the ...
Labyrinth Seal Leakage Analysis
(2012-10-19)
Annular seals are devices used in turbomachinery to avoid flow losses which reduce efficiency. The dynamic stability of the machine is also improved by the seal. Thus, it is an important subject to understand the flow ...

(2012-07-16)
Exploring Puritanical cultural habits in the 21st century American military, the following study focuses on U.S. Army courts-martial in the Global War on Terrorism. The study uses Emile Durkheim's original sociological ...
Prediction and Estimation of Random Fields
(2012-10-19)
For a stationary two dimensional random field, we utilize the classical Kolmogorov-Wiener theory to develop prediction methodology which requires minimal assumptions on the dependence structure of the random field. We also ...
Design, Implementation, and Formal Verification of On-demand Connection Establishment Scheme for TCP Module of MPICH2 Library
(2012-10-19)
Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a standard library interface for writing parallel programs. The MPI specification is broadly used for solving engineering and scientific problems on parallel computers, and MPICH2 is a ...
Ignition Delay Times of Natural Gas/Hydrogen Blends at Elevated Pressures
(2012-10-19)
Applications of natural gases that contain high levels of hydrogen have become a primary interest in the gas turbine market. For reheat gas turbines, understanding of the ignition delay times of high-hydrogen natural gases ...
Reservoir Simulation Used to Plan Diatomite Developement in Mountainous Region
(2012-10-19)
In Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria Pacific (an exploration and production company) is expanding their cyclic steam project in a diatomite reservoir. The hilly or mountainous topography and cut and fill restrictions have ...
Radiosensitization Strategies for Enhanced E-beam Irradiation Treatment of Fresh Produce
(2011-08-08)
Fresh produce is increasingly implicated in outbreaks of foodborne illness. Internalization of bacterial pathogens into produce is of particular concern as internalized pathogens are unlikely to be removed by surface ...
