Investigating Linkages Between Engineering and Petrophysical Properties of Unconsolidated Geomaterials and Their Geoelectrical Parameters
(2011)The need for an improved ability to "see into the earth" has resulted in the use of geophysical techniques, especially the electrical resistivity method, in engineering and environmental investigations. The major challenge ... -
Modeling and Control of an Electromagentic Transducer for Vibratory Energy Harvesting Applications
(2011)The primary focus of this thesis is on the modeling and control of an electromechanical transducer to harvest energy from large structures (e.g. buildings and bridges). The transducer consists of a back-driven ballscrew ... -
Stable Embedded Grid Techniques in Computational Mechanics
(2010)Engineering mechanics problems involving interfaces, whether physical or introduced by numerical methodologies, are commonplace. Just a few examples include fracture and fault mechanics, classical contact-impact, phase ... -
The Acceleration of the Diffusion-Limited Pump-and-Treat Aquifer Remediation with Pulsed Pumping that Generates Deep Sweeps and Vortex Ejections in Dead-End Pores
(2011)<p>Clean water is a critical natural resource. We do not have much available: only 2.5% of water on Earth is freshwater and of that only 31% is in liquid form. 96% of the liquid fresh water is groundwater. Unfortunately ...
