INTERFACE EQUILIBRATION PROCESSES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON WETTABILITY AND INTERFACIAL ENERGY
(2009)
Surface/interface equilibration and wettability modification of organic liquids are two important phenomena in many practical applications including subsurface remediation, detergency and food industry. Although ...
Anisotropic poromechanics of the wellbore coupled with thermal and chemical gradients.
(2002)
A generalized anisotropic porothermoelastic formulation incorporating fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response of saturated porous media is developed. Governing equations are tailored for transversely isotropic media ...
Development of a Web-based infrastructure management system for Oklahoma's general aviation airports, and, Exploring the use of spectral analysis of surface waves and impulse response for pavement health monitoring.
(2007)
The transportation infrastructure of the United States consumes over 17% of its Gross National product annually and is currently valued at $1.75 trillion. With the interstate system now 50 years old, the emphasis of the ...
Effect of additives on surface free energy characteristics of aggregates and binders in hot mix asphalt.
(2007)
U.S. spends approximately $20 billion/year on asphalt pavements with disproportionately high maintenance costs of $9.3 billion/year. Better performance of asphalt pavements is crucial to reducing these maintenance costs. ...
The poromechanics of naturally fractured rock formations: A finite element approach.
(2003)
The mathematical models have been cast into finite element form and verified against analytical solutions for one-dimensional consolidation and an inclined wellbore in a fully saturated single-porosity formation subjected ...
FORMATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF TRIGLYCERIDE MICROEMULSIONS USING EXTENDED SURFACTANTS
(2009)
Triglycerides are among the most challenging oils to microemulsify due to their unique structure of a bulky polar ester head and three long hydrocarbon chains. Among the published work on triglyceride microemulsions, the ...
Characterizing components of uncertainty in hydrologic modeling using an ensemble approach.
(2003)
In hydrologic modeling, uncertainties are known to reside in model inputs, i.e., rainfall estimates, model parameters, observations of streamflow, and in some cases in the model structure itself. Estimation of the total ...
Pressuremeter and cone penetrometer testing in a calibration chamber with unsaturated Minco Silt.
(2005)
The focus of this study is to investigate the influence of matric suction (&psgr; ) on PMT and CPT results by conducting miniature pressuremeter (MPMT) and miniature cone penetrometer (MCPT) testing in a calibration chamber ...
Testing and modeling of unsaturated interfaces.
(2005)
A conventional fully automated direct shear test device was modified to achieve the objectives of this study. The newly developed device, called the Unsaturated Interface Direct Shear Apparatus (UIDSA), was equipped for ...
