Gradient Elasticity Modelling and Analysis for the Mechanics of Unidirectional and Bidirectional Fiber Reinforced Composites
DownloadFall 2018
The mechanics of fiber-reinforced solids have consistently been the subject of intense study that significantly advances our knowledge and practice in materials science and engineering. The subject leads to two major branches of researches involving either the direct investigation of local...

Graphene Reinforced Adhesives for Improved Joint Characteristics in Large Diameter Composite Piping
DownloadSpring 2013
Higher specific properties and corrosion resistance of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) pipes make them a potential candidate for replacing metallic piping structures. This research project is concerned with adhesively bonded FRP pipe sections. The project can broadly be classified into three...

Graphite Nanoplatelet Filler-Modified Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Thermal Transport Enhancement
DownloadFall 2017
The use of polymers in applications such as electronic packaging, heat exchangers, and thermal pastes is limited by their inability to dissipate accumulated heat effectively. Nano-scale filler modifiers may be used to improve the transport of thermal energy through polymer materials. Studies of...

An analytical and experimental study of boundary gravity currents propagating through a two-layer stratified ambient of finite vertical extent is presented. The theoretical discussion considers slumping, supercritical gravity currents, i.e. those that generate an interfacial disturbance whose...

Fall 2015
A total of 95 full- and partial-depth lock release experiments were conducted to investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of gravity current flow over sinusoidal topography in a two-layer ambient. Density differences between fluids are limited to a Boussinesq regime and are...

Spring 2015
Bottom propagating gravity currents resulting from full- and partial-depth lock-release experiments are investigated as they propagate up a rising slope in uniform and two-layer stratified ambients. In the case of uniform ambients, the gravity current front decelerates in a nearly uniform...

With continued growth in global carbon emissions, much of the developed world is curtailing its dependence on fossil fuels. Broad decarbonization will not come from a single source, but rather a combination of policy, technology, and innovation. Wind power has seen significant development in...

Pneumatic tires are costly components of large off-road haul trucks used in surface mining operations. Tires are prone to premature damage during operation which can lead to hazard events and injury of personnel, loss of equipment and reduced productivity. Currently, monitoring of tire condition...
