Optimal Design of Coke Drum Skirt Slots and Analysis of Alternative Skirt Support Structures for Thermal-Mechanical Cyclic Loading
DownloadFall 2017
The skirt-to-shell attachment weld on coke drums is susceptible to low-cycle fatigue failure due to severe thermal-mechanical cyclic stresses. Therefore, various skirt attachment designs have been proposed and implemented to reduce stress and thus improve reliability. The most common skirt design...

Refining real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road tires at mine sites
DownloadSpring 2023
The objective of this PhD program is to refine the real site TKPH (tonne-kilometer-per-hour) of ultra-large off-the-road (OTR) tires at mine sites. To achieve this, a novel HLSRT model (a Hysteresis Loss model considering Strain levels, strain Rates, and rubber Temperatures) was first developed...
