Steel Pickling for Hot-Dip Galvanizing: Effects of Zinc and Iron on Pickling Rates for Hydrochloric and Sulfuric Acids
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is an industrial process that provides corrosion resistance to steel members by dipping and coating them in liquid zinc. In the preparation of the steel members for HDG, diluted strong acids are ... -
Analysis of Cold-Worked Crack-Arrest Holes Subjected to Distortion-Induced Fatigue
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)A major source of damage to bridges in the United States is fatigue cracking, particularly in the small web gap region located at the top of a steel girder web, between the transverse stiffener-to-web weld and the top ... -
Analytical Fatigue Evaluation and Test Specimen Design for Cantilevered Overhead Sign Structure Box Connections
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)Cantilevered overhead sign structures (COSS) are susceptible to fatigue at many of their connection details, in particular the connection between the pole and mast-arm, due to stresses caused by natural wind gusts, ... -
Feedstock-To-Tailpipe Analysis of Soybean-Derived Biodiesel and Glycerol Valorization in Kansas
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)Biodiesel has become a popular substitute to ultra-low sulfur diesel due to its production from renewable or waste feedstocks and direct use in compression-ignition engines. Biodiesel is currently fabricated via oil ... -
Characterization of coordination patterns in lower limb amputees and healthy controls with a handless crutch
(University of Kansas, 2022-8-31)Lower limb amputation (LLA) is an often traumatic and life altering event that can be accompanied by life-long musculoskeletal complications. This is particularly concerning when the approximately 150,000 people who undergo ... -
Evaluating precipitation simulations from a land-atmosphere coupling model
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)Nowadays climate models are widely used for weather forecasting. With the increased computational capacity, the simulated resolution of climate models has been enhanced from tens of kilometers in Global Climate Models ... -
Tuning the Viscoelastic Properties of Hyaluronic Acid-Based Thiolene Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)AbstractOsteoarthritis (OA) affects 300 million people worldwide, with roughly 80% of these cases being knee OA. While there are many events that promote OA, injury and maladaptive repair of the meniscal discs is a major ... -
Optimization of Direct Methanol Fuel Cells: An Experimental Approach
(University of Kansas, 2022-08-31)Recently, fuel cells have gained significant attention for their capability of producing power with different fuels at reduced levels of carbon dioxide emissions. Of the many options of fuel cells, direct methanol fuel ... -
