Consistency and Validity of the Mathematical Models and the Solution Methods for BVPs and IVPs Based on Energy Methods and Principle of Virtual Work for Homogeneous Isotropic and Non-Homogeneous Non-Isotropic Solid Continua
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-07-16)Energy methods and the principle of virtual work are commonly used for obtaining solutions of boundary value problems (BVPs) and initial value problems (IVPs) associated with homogeneous, isotropic and non-homogeneous, ... -
Thermodynamic Consistency of Plate and Shell Mathematical Models in the Context of Classical and Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics and a Thermodynamically Consistent New Thermoelastic Formulation
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2020-06)Inclusion of dissipation and memory mechanisms, non-classical elasticity and thermal effects in the currently used plate/shell mathematical models require that we establish if these mathematical models can be derived using ... -
Evolution of Network Structure and Mechanical Properties in Autonomous-Strengthening Dental Adhesive
(MDPI, 2020-09-12)The inherent degradation property of most dental resins in the mouth leads to the long-term release of degradation by-products at the adhesive/tooth interface. The by-products increase the virulence of cariogenic bacteria, ... -

(MDPI, 2020-08-02)A RhxSy/C catalyst with high mass-specific electrochemical surface area (ECSA/mass), high hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR)/hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, and high Nafion® ionomer-affinity was synthesized and ... -
Synthesis of oxygen functionalized carbon nanotubes and their application for selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-04-28)Oxygen functionalized carbon nanotubes synthesized by surface acid treatment were used to improve the dispersion properties of active materials for catalysis. Carbon nanotubes have gained attention as a support for active ... -
Selective Wettability Membrane for Continuous Oil−Water Separation and In Situ Visible Light-Driven Photocatalytic Purification of Water
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-04-16)Membrane-based technologies are attractive for remediating oily wastewater because they are relatively energy-efficient and are applicable to a wide range of industrial effluents. For complete treatment of oily wastewater, ... -
Data for wetlandscapes and their changes around the world
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-05-13)Geography and associated hydrological, hydroclimate and land-use conditions and their changes determine the states and dynamics of wetlands and their ecosystem services. The influences of these controls are not limited to ... -

(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-08)Three cores were taken from KU Memorial Stadium on 08/17/22 by personnel from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates and analyzed for water-soluble chloride content and depth of carbonation. Cores A4 and B4 were taken from ... -
Recent comprehensive review for extended finite element method (XFEM) based on hydraulic fracturing models for unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs
(Springer, 2020-06-08)Hydraulic fracturing has been around for several decades since 1860s. It is one of the methods used to recover unconventional gas reservoirs. Hydraulic fracturing design is a challenging task due to the reservoir heterogeneity, ... -
Numerical modeling on drilling fluid and cutter design effect on drilling bit cutter thermal wear and breakdown
(Springer, 2019-10-11)The unconventional reservoir geological complexity will reduce the drilling bit performance. The drill bit poor performance was the reduction in rate of penetration (ROP) due to bit balling and worn cutter and downhole ... -
Low-Shrinkage Ultra-High-Performance Concrete
(University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., 2022-08)Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has been used increasingly in the past decade due to its high strength, rapid strength gain, and enhanced durability. UHPC is a cement-based material that typically has a low w/cm ... -
