Design of Polymer Materials with Lower Environmental Impact
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
In today’s world of emerging advanced materials, environmental impact of new technologies, as well as already well-established products, is of utmost importance. Environmental safety is as crucial as performance/price ratio ...
The Application of Electroanalytical Techniques to the Study of Coating Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Electroanalytical techniques are often employed to augment standard practices utilized to study and characterize coating performance on metal substrates, yielding information that is not provided by standard coating analysis ...
Dynamic Interaction of Vehicle and Bridge Subjected to Prestress Force Loss and Foundation Settlement
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Plenty of bridges in U.S. are suffering from prestress force loss and foundation settlements. The loss of prestress force in bridge load-carrying members such as girders may lead to the malfunction and even failure of the ...
Experimental Studies on Infiltration/Soil-Water Movement Processes and Green-AMPT Modeling
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Experimental studies on infiltration/soil-water movement processes are vital to
better understanding movement of soil-water in the vadose zone. The objective of this
