Investigation of Surface Crack Growth Behaviour Under Variable Pressure Fluctuations in Near-Neutral pH Environments
DownloadFall 2017
The goal of this investigation was to study the corrosion fatigue behaviour and mechanisms of surface cracks, semi-elliptical in shape, when exposed to near-neutral pH environments conducive to the environments experienced in the field. To better simulate field conditions, while avoiding the...

Fall 2012
This research is aimed at understanding near-neutral pH SCC initiation under disbonded coatings of pipeline steels, and the effect of different environmental and operational factors on crack initiation. Understanding near-neutral pH stress corrosion cracking (SCC) could answer many of the...

Pipeline Circumferential Cracking in Near-Neutral pH Environment Under the Influence of Residual Stress
DownloadSpring 2024
In recent years, pipeline failures attributed to circumferential corrosion fatigue in near-neutral pH environments were reported. Despite the implementation of protective coatings and cathodic protection in buried pipeline steels, the occurrence of Near-Neutral pH Corrosion Fatigue (NNpH-CF)...

Sequencing & Agglomeration of Cycles in Variable Amplitude Underload Spectra: Effects on Surface Crack Growth in a Near-neutral pH Environment
DownloadFall 2018
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) is one of the biggest integrity threat facing pipelines. Large numbers of SCC defects are detected every year, but scheduling the repair work for these defects is an enormous challenge. Pipeline companies have limited resources to take on the repairs. Therefore the...

Spring 2013
This research was aimed at developing porous ceramics as well as ceramic-metal composites that can be potentially used in Gen-IV supercritical water reactors (SCWR). The research mainly includes two parts: 1) fabricating and engineering the porous ceramics and porous ceramic-metal composite; 2)...

Synthesis, Characterization of Novel Porous Carbon Materials and Their Application in CO2 Capture
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is aimed at developing novel, porous activated carbon materials that are used for CO2 capture. The research is mainly composed of two parts: synthesis, characterization of novel porous carbons produced via KOH activation; and evaluation of their preliminary CO2 capture performances....
