Ichnology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and trace fossil-permeability relationships in the Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member, Medicine Hat gas field, southeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The Upper Cretaceous Medicine Hat Member (Niobrara Formation) in western Canada contains abundant reserves of biogenic natural gas. In the Medicine Hat gas field area of southeast Alberta, nineteen cored intervals were examined and classified based on primary physical and biogenic sedimentary...

Sub-unit Cell Modeling and Manufacturing of Non-Orthogonal Three-Dimensional Braided Structures
DownloadSpring 2021
Three-dimensional (3D) braiding is commonly considered an advantageous method for producing near-net composites that provide improved transverse properties relative to two-dimensional (2D) braiding. Modeling of 3D braids is an ever-growing field of research – particularly the use of sub-unit cell...
