This project intends to answer the question of how rising disaster losses correlate to essential climate change variables. Despite the substantial upward trend in economic losses from disaster, there is still debate over ...
-
(2016-12-15)Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is used for estimating Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) which, in turn, is used for design of major hydraulic structures, such as dams and spillways, flood protection works, and nuclear ...

(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting stent implantation has been of great benefit in coronary applications, whereas in peripheral applications, success rates remain low. Analysis of healing ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Asphalt pavements experience damage due to traffic loading under various environmental conditions. Damage can be caused by viscopl microcracks, fracture due to fatigue cracking, or fracture due to thermal cracking. Asphalt ...

(2019-07-10)Nickel-based singe crystal superalloys are a class of metallic materials with a combination of high-temperature strength, toughness, and resistance to degradation in oxidizing environments, which makes them great candidates ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This dissertation presents the development of an anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model to describe the permanent deformation of asphalt pavements. The model is developed to account for several phenomena that ...
-
(2023-05-02)This work focuses on high solids loading (≥80% weight) polymer-particle composites, a specific subset of heterogeneous materials where particles are suspended in a polymer matrix. These composites exhibit complex behaviors ...
-
(2010-07-14)The continuum damage mechanics (CDM) approach is widely used to model damage in polymer matrix composite materials which are represented using the homogenized properties of the fiber and matrix constituents. CDM simplifies ...
