Climate and air quality impacts of boreal wildfires — new analytical approaches for the investigation of light absorption and atmospheric reactivity of wildfire particulate matter
DownloadSpring 2022
Wildfire smoke emissions contain substantial amounts of light-absorbing aerosols that can affect the radiation and cloud processes, resulting in climate impacts on regional and even global scales. The radiative impact of these light-absorbing aerosols is largely contributed by brown carbon (BrC),...

Investigation of Failure Modes of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Flywheel Rotors for Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2022
High-velocity and long-lifetime operating conditions of modern high-speed energy storage flywheel rotors may create the necessary conditions for failure modes not included in current quasi-static failure analyses. The central hypothesis for this thesis research is that (i) viscoelastic effects...
