Fatigue cracking of lumber bandsaw blades
The focus of this research is on the fatigue cracking problem in the tooth gullet region of wide handsaw blades used in the lumber industry. This thesis presents both the theory and the experiment aspects of this research in terms of the tasks defined as follows. The current literature was reviewed …

Cracking Meldrum's Acid: Lowering the Temperature
Sucrose fatty-acid mono-esters are valuable surfactants that have many industrial applications in consumer goods and medications. The current industrial syntheses are conducted through trans-esterification protocols, which regularly produces mixtures of sucrose fatty-acid mono-esters and other …

The effect of feed rate and cracking time on carbon formation during the catalytic cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons
The process of catalytic cracking of petroleum hydrocarbons invariably produces a carbonaceous deposit on the surface of the solid catalyst which serves to reduce the activity of the catalyst. This investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of the feed rate and the length of the cracking …

Y-cracking in continuously reinforced concrete pavements
… meandering pattern shows a high potential for Y-cracking. Also, several finite element models were run to understand the effects of different shrinkage between mainline and shoulder. In order to simulate the effects of the differential drying shrinkage between the hardened mainline concrete and …

Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing
The importance of the artists voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a …

Laboratory evaluation of cracking in asphalt concrete
Cracking is one of the major distresses in asphalt concrete leading to high maintenance and rehabilitation costs throughout the nations pavement infrastructure. Asphalt concrete is a three phase, heterogeneous composite consisting of aggregate, mastic, and air voids. Crack initiation, crack path …

Stress corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steels
In order to understand the stress corrosion cracking behavior of metastable and stable austenitic stainless steels, constant elongation rate tests (CERT) and sub-critical crack growth (SCG) tests were used to measure the susceptibility and cracking rate. The tests were performed in …

Deterioration and Cracking in Reinforced Concrete Bridges
… of the internal steel reinforcement and cracking of the concrete cover. Thus, half-joints are particularly vulnerable to bond degradation due to corrosion and cracking. To develop an improved understanding of deterioration in reinforced concrete, and half-joints in particular, three …

Stress corrosion cracking of nuclear grade steels
… steel were studied for their stress corrosion cracking susceptibility. Cylindrical tensile specimens were subjected to slow strain rate testing at 75°C in aerated, aqueous solutions (distiled water with 1000ppm Cl⁻ or SO₄ = ions in solution) in a range of corrosion potentials. The 316L has been …

Effect of Cracking on Lag Bolt Performance
This dissertation presents the results of testing to determine the load-slip characteristics of single-shear single lag screw connections subjected to monotonic lateral loading parallel to grain. Of particular importance was the comparison of experimental capacity and 5% offset yield load …
