Current distributions by moving vortices in superconductors

open access: yes, 2021
We take account of normal currents that emerge when vortices move. Abrikosov vortices in the bulk and Pearl vortices in thin films are considered. Velocity-dependent distributions of both normal and persistent currents are studied in the frame of time ...

Electrically conductive asphalt concrete: An alternative for automating the winter maintenance operations of transportation infrastructure

open access: yes, 2019
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) was modified with carbon fiber (CF) to achieve electrically conductive asphalt concrete with applications to pavement anti-icing and de-icing. The volume resistivity of such electrically conductive asphalt concrete was compared with

Evaluation of bio-based fog seal for low-volume road preservation

open access: yes, 2020
While asphalt pavement is common in the United States, it is susceptible to oxidation as being exposed to environmental effects, resulting in the surface deterioration.

Comparison of acoustoelastic Lamb wave propagation in stressed plates for different measurement orientations

open access: yes, 2017
High order Lamb waves are investigated for the effects of stress on both symmetrical and anti-symmetrical modes in an aluminum plate for wave propagation and load parallel.

Scaled experiment investigating sonomechanically enhanced inert gas sparging mass transfer

open access: yes, 2017
One of the leading advanced reactor concepts is the fluoride salt high temperature reactor (FHR) currently under investigation. This design utilizes a fluoride molten salt, flibe (2 LiF/BeF2), as the primary coolant. One challenge of employing flibe as a

Quantile POD for nondestructive evaluation with hit–miss data

open access: yes, 2019
Probability of detection (POD) is commonly used to measure a nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspection procedure’s performance. Due to inherent variability in the inspection procedure caused by variability in factors such as crack morphology and ...

Electrically-conductive asphalt mastic: Temperature dependence and heating efficiency

open access: yes, 2018
Asphalt mastic, a pitch-matrix composite, consists of bitumen and mineral fillers (very fine aggregates), that fills the voids created by coarser aggregates in asphalt concrete.

Application of Ground-Penetrating Radar in measuring Corn seeds (CS) Spacing and Planting depth in different soils

open access: yes, 2018
The effects of seed spacing and depth at planting contribute greatly to corn production. Correct seed spacing, and planting depth may enable moisture absorption which facilitates seedling emergence with the establishment of healthy and robust root ...
