Abstract:
A new type of computer-controlled instrument has been developed to measure microviscoelastic properties of thin materials. It can independently control and measure indentation loads and depths in situ revealing information about material creep and relaxation. Sample and indenter positions are measured with a specially designed polarization interferometer. Indenter loadings can be varied between 0.5 and 10 grams and held constant to ±41 mg. The resulting indentation depths can be measured in situ to ±1.2 nm. The load required to maintain constant indentation depths from 0.1 to 5.0 microns can b

Abstract:
Applications of nanomechanical testing methods have become increasingly important in all fields of material research. There is a significant interest in obtaining information about material features at small scales, in order to get a detailed characterization of the materials deformation behavior. To meet the needs, various experimental techniques have been developed to explore mechanical properties at micro-and nanoscale. So far, most small-scale mechanical testing methods have been done at room temperature, since it does not require the special modification of equipment. However, engineering

The arctic is an appealing new ventures area for the oil and gas industry. However the climate is extremely demanding, and more technically challenging than any other environment.

The propagation of a brittle fracture in iron and steel requires much less energy than that associated with a ductile fracture. Once a material is cooled below the DBTT, it has a much greater tendency to shatter on impact instead of bending or deforming. The brittle-ductile behavior of BCC crystal

For various reasons, existing methods for the assessment of aquatic pollution do not always adequately address the way in which contaminants affect receiving environments and their component ecosystems.

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most widely used in-situ soil test in the world. "Large Penetration Test" (LPT) is a term used to describe any scaled up version of the SPT. Several types of LPT have been developed around the world for the purpose of characterizing gravel deposits, as SPT blow counts are less reliable in gravels than in sands. Both tests suffer from the lack of a reliable means of determining transferred energy. Further, the use of LPT blow counts is generally limited to calculation of equivalent SPT blow counts using correlation factors measured in sands. Varia

The prediction of axial and lateral pile behaviour is a complex engineering problem. Traditional methods of data collection and subsequent analyses are frequently in error when compared to full-scale, load tests.

Abstract:
Column leaching experiments were conducted to simulate in-situ leaching processes and to provide information on the mechanisms and extent of copper recovery, acid consumption, and chemical composition of recycled raffinate. Two 1.52-meter by 0.30-meter columns, each loaded with approximately 150 kilograms of copper oxide ore from the Florence porphyry copper deposit, were leached with a dilute sulfuric acid solution for 84 days. Computer simulation of the saturation state and aqueous mass transfer of predominant elements during the column tests was performed using EQ3NR, an aqueous solution sp

Abstract:
Since the MINER Act of 2006, the minimum static load of in-situ underground mine seals has been increased from 20-psi to either 50-psi if monitoring is conducted or 120-psi if left unmonitored. These minimum strength requirements in seals must be designed, built, and maintained throughout the lifetime of the seal. Due to this, it has become necessary to assess the effectiveness of non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies to determine seal integrity, which in this case, are explored using sonic waves and tracer gases. Through both small and large scale testing, two NDT methods were evaluated
