Coal's Clean Comeback
At Tampa's new power station, engineers from the power plant industry meet those from the chemical industry to construct an environmentally safe way to use low-cost coal....
Partnering with the Enemy
When you think of EPA and a major corporation, you probably envision them squaring off in court over a Superfund site. But these days representatives from the two groups are just as likely...
Cleanup Solution--Conflict Resolution
Distrust and misinformation often prevent timely resolution of ground-water contamination problems. In Toms River, N.J., engineers used a computer-generated model of the cleanup site in...
Greening of Ground Water
As many as 69 different organic compounds and 24 metal species can be found in ground water underlying the 85 acre Bofors-Nobel Superfund site in Muskegon County, Mich., a testimony to...
Demolishing NAPLs
Dynamic Underground Stripping is a combination of
Rest in Peace
Engineers working on a subway connection project in the nation's capital successfully employed chemical grouting techniques--some never tried before--to protect a historically...
Generic Data Acquisition System for Robotic Waste Characterization
This paper describes a generic data acquisition system for robotic characterization of DOE production facilities and waste sites. While the specific suite of characterization sensors on...
Automation Concepts for In-Situ Waste Containment
The isolation of chemical and radioactive contaminants from groundwater supplies is a topic of increasing concern and urgency. In-situ containment of hazardous wastes is preferable if...
Improving Dynamic Finite Element Models Using Test Data
A structural optimization based method was developed to improve the finite element model to achieve good agreement with the test results. The modal displacements at critical locations...
Dynamic Analysis of a High Speed Transport Model by Using a Piecewise Continuous Timoshenko Beam Model
Conventional treatment of structural dynamic analysis and control is based on the finite element structural model. But such a treatment uses a very large number of elements which is usually...
Braced Double Skinned Structure in Lunar Application
A parametric study is designed to evaluate a proposed Braced Double Skinned roof structure utilizing extrapolated theoretical solutions i.e. Navier's solution and Levy's solution. A Finite...
Comparison of Donnell and Higher Order Nonlinear Models for Dynamically Loaded Composite Plates and Shells
The dynamic buckling behavior of composite cylindrical shells subjected to a transverse point load is considered. The behavior of undamped cylindrical shells of varying radii is analyzed...
