Fall 2017
Casing pipes used in sour service are prone to two forms of failure: hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC). The objective of this thesis is to investigate the resistance of L80 ERW and Seamless steel pipe, with five different chemical compositions, to both HIC and SSC....

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...

On the Mechanical Properties and Failure of Low-Pressure Cold-Sprayed Tungsten Carbide-Nickel Metal Matrix Composite Coatings
DownloadFall 2019
Tungsten carbide-Nickel (WC-Ni) metal matrix coatings (MMC) were fabricated using a low-pressure cold spray unit. The coatings were designed according to 50, 71, and 92 weight percentages of WC in the feedstock powder. These coatings were subsequently prepared for uni-axial quasi-static tensile...
