Characterization of thermo-mechanical and long-term behaviors of multi-layered composite materials (2009-06-02)This study presents characterization of thermo-mechanical viscoelastic and long-term behaviors of thick-section multi-layered fiber reinforced polymer composite materials. The studied multi-layered systems belong to a class ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This dissertation begins with a review of the bases for creep constitutive equations. Next, physical metallurgical concepts are used to examine the creep process in simple and complex stress histories. Since, there are ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)In this work, a constitutive theory is developed, within the context of continuum mechanics, to describe the creep deformation of single crystal superalloys. The con- stitutive model that is developed here is based on the ...
-
(2015-09-02)An aspect of particular concern in the soil nail wall manual and construction guideline, Geotechnical Engineering Circular No. 7 on Soil Nail Walls, is the creep behavior of soil nail systems in high-plasticity clays. This ...
-
(2017-04-24)Understanding the creep properties of gas shales at elevated temperatures is critical for accurately predicting reservoir performance and assessing the effect of viscous behavior on closure rate, production rate, and ...
-
(2014-04-10)Air pollution is one of the main environmental problems mankind faces in the 21^(st) century caused by to the extensive use of fossil fuels. One of the opportunities to overcome this problem is to develop new technologies ...
-
(2018-04-27)Nuclear containment facilities in the US are quickly approaching the end of their design lives. However, due to the need for energy and the staggering cost of constructing new facilities, the industry is hoping to push the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A detailed survey of two tracts of houses on sloping terrain underlain by expansible clay-rich soils indicates that expansive soils are especially susceptible to downhill creep. This poses an additional threat on top of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)The research begins with a definition of the thermoelastic-plastic-creep continuum and the phenomena which must be predicted in order to obtain a usable theory for modelling the response of this type of medium. Next, several ...
-
(2015-08-25)The research focuses on a difference between Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) design practices for soil nail walls in high plasticity (i.e., plasticity index ...
-
(2019-11-30)In this dissertation, the concept of seismically resilient bridge columns with polyurethane (PU)-enhanced damage-resistant (DR) joints and replaceable energy dissipating (ED) links is proposed. The proposed system introduces ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Constant stress creep experiments have been conducted on Westerly granite, Quadrant orthoquartzite, Sioux quartzite, and a generic diorite using a solid medium apparatus and talc assemblies. Most of the experiments were ...
-
(2016-05-06)The use of thermal barrier coatings over the past few decades has significantly improved the performance of gas turbine engines by reducing the operating temper-ature of engine components. However, these multilayer systems ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of flexible plastic pipes as buried conduits even though much of the soil-pipe behavior has not been fully understood. Present design approaches either involve the use ...
