This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Investigation of Surface Crack Growth Behaviour Under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in Near-Neutral pH Environments
DownloadFall 2017
The goal of this investigation was to study the corrosion fatigue behaviour and mechanisms of surface cracks, semi-elliptical in shape, when exposed to near-neutral pH environments conducive to the environments experienced in the field. To better simulate field conditions, while avoiding the...

Sequencing & Agglomeration of Cycles in Variable Amplitude Underload Spectra: Effects on Surface Crack Growth in a Near-neutral pH Environment
DownloadFall 2018
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is one of the biggest integrity threat facing pipelines. Large numbers of SCC defects are detected every year, but scheduling the repair work for these defects is an enormous challenge. Pipeline companies have limited resources to take on the repairs. Therefore the...
