Static Resistance Functions for Unbonded Retrofit Unreinforced Concrete Masonry Walls with Plate Connection for Blast Design Applications 

Gagnet, Eric (2013-07-10)
Over the past two decades the use of explosives to attack both commercial and government buildings has increased. A substantial amount of research has been conducted to be able to protect not only the occupants but the ...

Stochastic Fragment Velocity Analysis of Concrete Masonry Walls under Blast Loading with a Multi Degree of Freedom Model via the Monte Carlo Method 

Hatfield, John (2024-04-29)  ETD File Embargoed
The behavior of concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls under dynamic overpressure loading where dynamic fracture produces secondary fragments is quite complex. The response of a CMU wall is influenced by the material properties ...

Study of the Effect of Mechanical Cycling on the Constitutive Behavior of Lead-Free Solders 

Hoque, Mohd Aminul (2021-08-05)  ETD File Embargoed
Solder joints in electronic assemblies are often subjected to cyclic (positive/negative) mechanical strains and stresses. Such exposures can occur in variable temperature application environments or during accelerated life ...

TWO-PART MASTER’S THESIS PART ONE: EVALUATION OF COOL ROOF REFLECTIVITY IMPACTS PART TWO: SURFACE SKIMMER FLOW RATES 

Sharpe, Collin (2022-05-04)
PART ONE: Cool roofs attempt to lower the temperature of the roof surface so that the interior of buildings can be cooled using less energy. Light color surfaces, white being the coolest color, are much cooler than darker ...

Use of Optimized Aggregate Gradations and Dust-of-Fracture Mineral Filler for Concrete Applications 

Harrigan, Christopher (2015-12-04)
Many proportioning methods exist to help the designer achieve a well-graded, or optimized aggregate gradation in the concrete industry, but not all are effective. The Shilstone Method and percent retained chart have been ...
