Current sensing atomic force microscopy study of aging mechanism of the nafion membranes due to thermal annealing
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-09-14)
Proton transport properties of Nafion 212 and Nafion 115 membranes have been
studied using current sensing atomic force microscopy to reveal changes of the ionic domains
and the local ionic conductivity distribution in ...
Performance standards for walk-in coolers and freezers in the United States as a function of local weather conditions
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-05-26)
Walk-in coolers and freezers are medium (~35º F) and low (~-10º F to -20º F)
temperature commercial food preservation equipment, with high market demand. There is
considerable potential for energy savings through ...
Pressure-impulse diagrams using finite element analysis for reinforced concrete columns subjected to blast loading
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-08-11)
Reinforced concrete is one of the prime building materials widely used to construct
protective structures. One of the purposes of this project is to study the non-linear response of
reinforced concrete structures when ...
Optimization of ligament parameters on a subject-specific computational human knee model in a dynamic knee simulator using design of experiments
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-12-09)
The objective of this study was to optimize ligament parameters used in a dynamic three dimensional
subject-specific computational knee model. The parameters of interest are the zero
load length (lambda sub zero), stiffness ...
The use of superabsorbent polymer in standard and pervious concrete
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011)
The use of internal curing and specifically the use of super absorbent polymers has recently become an important topic in concrete research. Internal curing has been shown to reduce autogenous shrinkage in concrete mixtures, ...
