(2012-02-14)The Remote Anthropogenic Sensing Program was a five year effort (2001- 2005) to examine subsurface phenomena related to a sewage outfall off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii. This research has implications for basic ocean ...
-
(2017-01-17)Finite element procedures combined with microstructure development modeling are integrated to quantitatively predict the viscoelastic/viscoplastic relaxation of cement paste due to intrinsic calcium silicate hydrate ...
-
(2019-10-25)Passivity as an electrochemical/chemical mechanism has an important impact on engineering materials; the process helps to mitigate and control the corrosion process by providing a nano- to Angstrom- scale protective barrier ...
-
(2009-05-15)As technological advances occur, many conventional materials are incapable of providing the unique multi-functional characteristics demanded thus driving an accelerated focus to create new material systems such as carbon ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The way in which the myocardium responds to its mechanical environment must be understood in order to develop reasonable treatments for congestive heart failure. The first step toward this understanding is to characterize ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In order to understand the mechanical functions of the cardiac muscle it is important to first understand the microstructure of the tissue. Young et al. (1998) realized that quantitative three-dimensional information about ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of strain and path change on the microstructural evolution of ultrafine grained interstitial free (IF) steel during equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE); to determine ...
-
(2022-12-09)Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) allows for complex geometry parts to be fabricated without sacrificing mechanical properties/behaviors. Though this process is greatly beneficial, it is still hindered by its build volume ...
