▼ The majority of the solar modules are based on
crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers. Whereas the c-Si technology can
offer a high efficiency, its main drawback (compared to traditional
means to produce electricity) is the cost. The wafers account for
one third of the total module cost, as high purity (thus expensive)
silicon is required. One way to decrease the solar electricity cost
is to decrease the amount of silicon needed for a wafer, for
instance by sawing thinner wafers. Another way is to increase the
solar cell production line yield by producing stronger wafers and
hence reducing the breakage rate. From a technological point of
view, both ways are equivalent, as thinner wafers have to be
comparatively stronger to sustain the processing stresses. The core
of this work is the analysis and understanding of the impact of
wire-sawing parameters on the wafer’s mechanical properties with
the aim of sawing thinner and stronger wafers. Wafer wire-sawing
consists of a wire transporting a slurry, made of abrasive silicon
carbide particles and lubricant, through a silicon brick. Such a
process is complex, as it involves dynamic processes, fracture
mechanics, fluid dynamics as well as tribological aspects on
various length-scales. In the first part of the work,
characterisation methods were developed to quantify the wafer
quality: roughness,
crack depth distribution, breakage stress,
wafer thickness and Raman measurements were carried out.
Furthermore, a TEM study was made to get a precise view of the
silicon just below the wafer surface, and the surface at the top of
the sawing groove was analysed to get a fundamental understanding
of the material removal mechanisms. Two parametric studies were
carried out to get insight into the influence of the sawing
parameters on these wafer properties. The parameters that were
studied were the abrasive size distribution, the slurry density,
the wire tension and the feed rate. The first campaign focused on
large parameter variations in order to have a global view of the
variables determining wire-sawing, whereas the second campaign
concentrated on lower variations and a more thorough study of these
parameters closer to their standard values. From these data,
mechanisms of
crack creation are proposed and a novel
semi-analytical model describing the wafer strength as a function
of the sawing parameters is given. It is based on physical
interactions and allows a deeper understanding of the sawing
mechanisms. Furthermore, the effect of the sawing parameters on the
wafer thickness is analysed. From these campaigns, it is seen that
stronger wafers are obtained by using a fine abrasive, a low wire
tension and a slow feed rate. A third study about the silicon
debris impact on the wafer quality was carried out. It is found
that below a given debris amount, they have no effect, but over
this threshold, sawmarks appear and the wafer strength quickly
decreases. This is put in relation with the findings from the two
first sawing campaigns and a novel mechanism explaining the
saw-mark creation is…

▼ This thesis uses the boundary approximation method to solve a
crack problem. On a unit circle, assume there is a
crack along the radial direction and extended to the edge. In engineering we can use current electrodes to detect the angle between the
crack and electrodes. We first write down the mathematical model for this problem. Then use the boundary approximation method to compute its numerical solutions under different angles. Finally we try to use these different numerical results to probe the position of the
crack.

▼ Pavement cracks are one of the most common pavement surface distresses. Traditionally, pavement
crack evaluation is conducted manually through a human field survey, which is subjective, labor-intensive, time-consuming, and dangerous to field engineers in the hazardous roadway environment. Methods have been developed to automate this process, including both
crack detection and classification. However, none of these methods have been fully automated and implemented. For
crack detection, the active contour based minimal path procedure has demonstrated better performance than other existing algorithms; however, it mathematically requires one or more prior input points for each
crack curve and cannot be fully automated, which introduces tedious and subjective manual work in practical use, especially for high-density cracks. In this study, a
crack detection algorithm to detect accurate and continuous
crack curves in a fully automatic manner is proposed. It consists of five major steps: 1) image enhancement through non-
crack feature removal and profile rectification, 2)
crack potential map generation through adaptive thresholding and tensor voting, 3) key point identification through iterative morphological thinning and skeleton analysis, 4)
crack curve detection between neighboring key points using two-point minimal path procedure, and 5)
crack curve selection through statistical analysis to remove false positive artifacts. The proposed algorithm has demonstrated its robust performance with a diverse data set, including the different pavement surface types (asphalt dense graded surface, asphalt open graded friction course surface, and concrete surface), and the different
crack patterns (longitudinal, transverse, the combination of both, and alligator). Also, the proposed algorithm has outperformed the dynamic optimization algorithm, which has had the best accuracy as an automatic algorithm in pertinent literature, and the commonly used commercial
crack detection software. For
crack classification, although methods have been developed to classify the primitive
crack types (e.g. longitudinal and transverse cracks), it remains a challenge to classify the complicated, real-world
crack types and severity levels specified by transportation agencies. In this study, a generalized
crack diagnosis framework is proposed to transform detected
crack maps into meaningful decision-support information valuable to engineers. The proposed framework features a multi-scale
crack representation based on a
crack fundamental element model, which extracts rich properties from the detected
crack maps, and a supervised classifier calibrated with real pavement data, which interprets the extracted
crack properties into
crack types and severity levels can be flexibly applied to different distress protocols. The proposed framework has been implemented with real-world distress protocols, including AASHTO standard PP 67 and GDOT's PACES protocol. Experienced pavement engineers have compared the results against manual surveys. The proposed framework has…

▼ A presente pesquisa teve o objetivo de analisar as relações entre o consumo de
crack e prostituição de mulheres nos manguezais nas proximidades da Avenida Artur Lima de Cavalcanti, nomeada pelos sujeitos da pesquisa por Chupa-chupa, no bairro de Santo Amaro, em Recife, Pernambuco. Para tanto, a pesquisadora acompanhou mulheres inseridas no Programa de Atenção Integral aos Usuários de Drogas e seus familiares (ATITUDE), que presta assistência aos/às usuários/as de
crack e outras drogas. O contato com as usuárias de
crack, através do programa, possibilitou a construção de vínculos e diálogos que resultaram em oito entrevistas realizadas nas unidades de acolhimento e nas ruas e manguezais do bairro de Santo Amaro. Optou-se pela análise de natureza qualitativa, por compreender que tal abordagem possibilitaria explicar em profundidade os significados e características do fenômeno estudado. Dessa forma, foram realizadas análises a partir da perspectiva de gênero, levando em consideração a intersecção dessa categoria com as dimensões de raça e classe social. Tal abordagem permitiu compreender as diferenças, hierarquias e assimetrias que atravessam o cotidiano de mulheres e que perduram, inclusive, nas abordagens cientificas sobre a temática. Essas questões estão eivadas de complexidades nos marcos do capitalismo contemporâneo, pois é no advento desse modo de produção que o consumo de substâncias psicoativas ganha novos contornos, gerando, inclusive, consumos danosos para saúde e para segurança pública. Santo Amaro é historicamente lugar de contrastes e contradições, revelando elevados índices de pobreza que perduram coexistindo lado a lado com áreas de expressiva riqueza da capital pernambucana. Assim, esta pesquisa também reflete sobre os determinantes históricos que dão forma ao bairro. Os resultados apontam que as trajetórias das mulheres são marcadas pelas múltiplas violências situadas desde o período da infância, perpassando a adolescência e perdurando na fase adulta. Além disto, as violências sofridas são reflexo da ausência de direitos básicos como o acesso à moradia, educação, saúde e emprego/renda. Essas mulheres fazem parte da produção do espaço urbano em meio a um complexo cenário de relações sociais banhadas pelas múltiplas desigualdades. A partir dos seus relatos, foi possível enfatizar as múltiplas experiências que elas vivenciaram, afastando pressupostos essencialistas no que tange às identidades femininas. Ademais, através dos relatos, notou-se que a perspectiva que prima por uma suposta natureza feminina amordaça e silencia as pluralidades ao abrir precedentes para violações daquelas consideradas transgressoras dos papéis postos como representativos do gênero que representam. Essas mulheres, no cotidiano, precisam encarar as contradições e assimetrias sociais de gênero, quando são culpabilizadas por não corresponderem às expectativas sociais, impostas ao universo feminino, seja nos papéis sociais de mães ou de esposas, ou quando tomam as ruas e são acusadas como moralmente inferiores. Tais assimetrias,…

▼ The US Federal Highway Trust Fund spent USD 42.95 Billion in 2015 out of which the principal expenditure was the maintenance of existing highway infrastructure. To optimize the use of resources for infrastructure maintenance, regular road infrastructure condition surveys are required. Automated road condition surveys involve the use of survey vehicles to collect road infrastructure condition data and distress detection algorithms to automatically assess the infrastructure condition. These automated road condition surveys provide a safe and efficient alternative to manual road condition surveys. However, widespread adoption of automated road condition surveys is yet to be realized. One problem is the lack of robust, accurate and fast algorithms to detect pavement distresses. Pavement cracking is by far the most widespread and serious distress on road infrastructure. Although some
crack detection algorithms have been developed to provide a high level of accuracy, their computation time makes them infeasible to implement in real-time, leading to the costly requirement of saving a large volume of road infrastructure condition data for processing at a later stage. Thus, a
crack detection algorithm is required which retains accuracy in a wide range of pavement conditions without being computationally intensive. To meet this research need, this thesis presents a fast and accurate
crack detection algorithm. A minimal path based approach has been used to develop the
crack detection algorithm. The technical approach consists of the following major steps: 1) Image preprocessing to remove isolated noise; 2) Preliminary
crack segmentation to minimize false negatives; 3)
Crack object generation and connection to remove false positives; and 4) Refinement of the
crack segmentation through a minimal path search based procedure. The
Crack Detection Algorithm Performance Evaluation System (CDA-PES) has been used to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. This thesis also compares the proposed algorithm with the previous state-of-the-art algorithm. The proposed algorithm outperforms all previous algorithms tested using the CDA-PES. Additionally, the proposed algorithm achieves on average a 36 times faster computation speed than the existing state-of-the-art algorithm and a 58 times faster median computation speed. With a median processing time of 0.52 seconds for 0.65 megapixel images on a single CPU thread, this algorithm makes accurate, real-time processing viable. The research presented in this thesis contributes significantly towards more widespread adoption of safer and efficient automated road condition surveys.

▼ We present the full analytical solution for steady-state in-plane
crack motion in a brittle triangular lattice. This allows quick numerical evaluation of solutions for very large systems, facilitating comparisons with continuum fracture theory. Cracks that propagate faster than the Rayleigh wave speed have been thought to be forbidden in the continuum theory, but clearly exist in lattice systems. Using our analytical methods, we examine in detail the motion of atoms around a
crack tip as
crack speed changes from subsonic to supersonic. Subsonic cracks feature displacement fields consistent with a stress intensity factor. For supersonic cracks, the stress intensity factor disappears. Subsonic cracks are characterized by small-amplitude, high-frequency oscillations in the vertical displacement of an atom along the
crack line, while supersonic cracks have large-amplitude, low-frequency oscillations. Thus, while supersonic cracks are no less physical than subsonic cracks, the connection between microscopic and macroscopic behavior must be made in a different way. This is one reason supersonic cracks in tension had been thought not to exist. In continuum fracture theory, the energy flowing into the
crack tip becomes negative or imaginary for
crack speeds faster than the Rayleigh wave speed. This would suggest that supersonic cracks are not physically allowed. In response to this, we study the energy flow in our supersonic solutions in the lattice. First, we construct an energy flux vector in the lattice analogous to the Poynting vector in electromagnetism. This allows us to calculate the energy flow at each atom in the lattice. We find that there is positive energy flux into the
crack tip for both subsonic and supersonic solutions in the lattice.

▼ Cette recherche découle de mon expérience clinique et institutionnelle dans le domaine des drogues. La problématique centrale s’appuie sur un questionnement sur la pratique psychanalytique avec des usagers de
crack en situation de précarité, vulnérabilité et exclusion. L’objectif principal est d’examiner les processus subjectifs liés à l’usage problématique de
crack, dans ses dimensions psychiques, corporelles, socio-politiques et culturelles. Je propose la notion de « dispositif du
crack » pour examiner et réfléchir sur la trame des discours, interprétations, interventions, stratégies et soins tissée autour du phénomène du
crack dans la contemporanéité brésilienne. Cette notion a mis en évidence le champ biopolitique dans lequel le problème du
crack s’inscrit et l’entrecroisement entre les relations de pouvoir et de savoir sur cette drogue. En promouvant un rapprochement entre le domaine socio-politique et le domaine subjectif, la notion de « dispositif du
crack » a également mis en évidence les processus de subjectivation et désubjectivation impliqués. L’analyse des potentiels effets et incidences subjectives résultants des situations d’exclusion et vulnérabilités multiples qui touchent la majorité des usagers de
crack au Brésil a montré leur étroite articulation avec l’usage abusif de cette drogue, en ce qui concerne aussi bien les effets de cet usage prolongé que la constitution d’une certaine conjoncture subjective où l’usage de
crack peut être interprété comme une « stratégie de survie » face à des « situations extrêmes de la subjectivité ». L’analyse d’un cas clinique a révélé que la stratégie toxique du patient était étroitement liée à son contexte de précarité et marginalisation et a explicité aussi les effets et les déploiements du « dispositif du
crack » dans la dimension de la singularité du sujet et de son positionnement subjectif. L’analyse du cas clinique a également contribué apportant un questionnement et une réflexion sur la question du corps et l’usage abusif de
crack, en révélant que, de manière associée à l’usage prolongé de cette substance, les processus sociopolitiques, les dynamiques de pouvoir, les discours hégémoniques et les inégalités et marginalisations s’infiltrent, marquent et conditionnent la pulsionnalité et la matérialité même des corps Cette question de la corporéité conjugue, condense et permet l’émergence des différentes dimensions qui s’entrelacent dans la complexité du phénomène du
crack et qui ont été abordées tout au long de cette thèse : la puissance de la substance chimique et ses effets sur le corps et sur la subjectivité ; les questions subjectives et singulières ; les dynamiques pulsionnelles ; les déterminations et les processus socio-politiques ; les situations de précarité, vulnérabilité et exclusion ; les représentations et discours dominants ; et les stratégies et interventions mises en marche pour faire face à la question. Finalement, je présente les contours et les caractéristiques fondamentales de l’écoute, de la position clinique et des interventions…

▼ The application of fracture mechanics to engineering design has provided significant advances in understanding of the causes and mechanisms of failure and crack growth. Despite this, there are still some aspects that remain incompletely understood, such as the crack closure/crack shielding effect. The presence of crack closure/shielding acts to reduce . The mechanisms of crack closure/shielding are complicated, and have not been fully understood. This work focuses on the plasticity-induced crack tip shielding mechanism and presents a novel approach to characterise the elastic stress fields under the influence of the plastic enclave surrounding the crack tip. The model is successfully applied to determine the four stress parameters experimentally using full-field photoelastic stress analysis on polycarbonate CT specimens, following studies of the effect of the crack tip position and the valid data collection zone giving the best fit between the model predictions and the experimental data. The predicted values from the model demonstrate good data repeatability, and exhibit sensible trends as a function of crack length and load ratio that are interpretable in terms of physically meaningful changes to the plastic enclave. In addition, the model is proven to describe the stress field around a crack more accurately than classic Williams‟ stress solution. The model is also extended to AL 2024-T3 specimens using a full-field displacement measurement technique, digital image correlation. Using the Sobel edge detection method to identify the crack tip from the displacement fields with a rectangular shaped data collection zone employed in the current study, reasonable trends were again demonstrated in the experimental results as a function of crack length.

▼ <p class=Basictextdouble-spaced><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri'>The
first part of this dissertation employs a three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite

A crack closure model and its application to vibrothermography nondestructive evaluation.

▼ Vibrothermography nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is in the early stages of research and development, and there exists uncertainty in the fundamental mechanisms and processes by which heat generation occurs. Holland et al. [30] have developed a set of tools which simulate and predict the outcome of a vibrothermography inspection by breaking the inspection into three distinct processes: vibrational excitation, heat generation, and thermal imaging. The stage of vibrothermography which is not well understood is the process by which vibrations are converted to heat at the crack surface. It has been shown that crack closure and closure state impact the resulting heat generation [39; 55; 56]. Despite this, research into the link between partial crack closure and vibrothermography is limited [40; 55; 56].
This work seeks to rectify this gap in knowledge by modeling the behavior of a partially closed crack in response to static external loading and a dynamic vibration. The residual strains left by the plastic wake during fatigue crack growth manifest themselves as contact stresses acting at the crack surface interface. In response to an applied load below the crack opening stress, the crack closure state will evolve, but the crack will remain partially closed. The crack closure model developed in this work is based in linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and describes the behavior of a partially closed crack in response to a tensile external load and non-uniform closure stress distribution. The model builds on work by Fleck [18] to describe the effective length, crack opening displacement, and crack tip stress field for a partially closed crack. These quantities are solved for by first establishing an equilibrium condition which governs the effective or apparent length of the partially closed crack. The equilibrium condition states that, under any external or crack surface loading, the effective crack tip will be located where the effective stress intensity factor is zero. In LEFM, this is equivalent to saying that the effective crack tip is located where the stress singularity vanishes. If the closure stresses are unknown, the model provides an algorithm with which to solve for the distribution, given measurements of the effective crack length as a function of external load.
Within literature, a number of heating mechanisms have been proposed as being dominant in vibrothermography. These include strain hysteresis, adhesion hysteresis, plastic flow, thermoelasticity, and sliding friction. Based on experimental observation and theory, this work eliminates strain hysteresis, thermoelasticity, and plastic flow as plausible heating mechanisms. This leaves friction and adhesion hysteresis as the only plausible mechanisms. Frictional heating is based on the classical Coulomb friction model, while adhesion hysteresis heating comes from irreversibility in surface adhesion. Adhesion hysteresis only satisfies the experimental observation that heating vanishes for high compressive loading if surface roughness and the instability of…

▼ The work in this thesis is concerned with the mechanics of the initiation and growth of small fatigue cracks from notches under service load histories. Fatigue life estimates for components subjected to variable amplitude service loading are usually based on the same constant amplitude strain-life data used for constant amplitude fatigue life predictions. The resulting fatigue life estimates although they are accurate for constant amplitude fatigue, are always non conservative for variable amplitude load histories. Similarly fatigue life predictions based on small crack growth calculations for cracks growing from flaws in notches are non conservative when constant amplitude crack growth data are used. These non conservative predictions have, in both cases, been shown to be due to severe reductions in fatigue crack closure arising from large (overload or underload) cycles in a typical service load history. Smaller load cycles following a large near yield stress overload or underload cycle experience a much lower crack opening stress than that experienced by the same cycles in the reference constant amplitude fatigue tests used to produce design data. This reduced crack opening stress results in the crack remaining open for a larger fraction of the stress-strain cycle and thus an increase in the effective portion of the stress-strain cycle. The effective strain range is increased and the fatigue damage for the small cycles is greater than that calculated resulting in a non conservative fatigue life prediction.
Previous work at Waterloo introduced parameters based on effective strain-life fatigue data and effective stress intensity versus crack growth rate data. Fatigue life calculations using these parameters combined with experimentally derived crack opening stress estimates give accurate fatigue life predictions for notched components subjected to variable amplitude service load histories. Information concerning steady state crack closure stresses, effective strain-life data, and effective stress intensity versus small crack growth rate data, are all obtained from relatively simple and inexpensive fatigue tests of smooth specimens in which periodic underloads are inserted into an otherwise constant amplitude load history. The data required to calibrate a variable amplitude fatigue crack closure model however, come from time consuming measurements of the return of crack closure levels for small cracks to a steady state level following an underload (large cracks for which crack closure measurements are easier to make cannot be used because at the high stress levels in notches under service loads a test specimen used would fracture).
For low and moderately high hardness levels in metals crack growth and crack opening stress measurements have been made using a 900x optical microscope for the small crack length at which a test specimen can resist the high stress levels encountered when small cracks grow from notches. For very hard metals the crack sizes may be so small that the measurements must be made using a…

▼ About 80% to 95% of all structural failures occur due to a fatigue mechanism1. Accurate
fatigue assessment is therefore of great importance. This thesis focuses on a
finite element analysis based approach, implemented in the program FRANC3D, to
simulate crack propagation under fatigue loading. This approach is not commonly
used at GKN, where the thesis was carried out. FRANC3D offers the users many
options, the effect of which has not been previously investigated at GKN. In this
thesis, a sensitivity study of various settings in FRANC3D was performed for propagation
analyses of a semi-elliptical surface crack in a rectangular test specimen. A
group of settings were identified to be recommended and were later used for fatigue
assessment of Kb test specimens for two different load types: tensile and four-point
bending. The results were validated against handbook-type solutions, provided by
NASGRO, and towards test results. Fatigue crack growth assessment was also performed
for an embedded crack in a circular specimen—a load case not supported
within NASGRO. A statistical evaluation of the finite element based approach gave
similar results as the handbook-type solutions and matched the test results with
respect to mean fatigue life. Thus, this thesis can be considered to have validated
FRANC3D for GKN’s internal use. This opens up the opportunity for more accurate
fatigue life calculations for components with complex geometry and complex
thermal and mechanical loading histories.

Os dados são apresentados sob a forma de médias e frequências, mostrando o perfil caracterizado principalmente por indivíduos do sexo masculino, baixas condições socioeconômicas e padrão grave de consumo da droga. Com base no perfil encontrado, foi elaborado plano de intervenção contendo ações educativas voltadas para adolescentes e jovens usuários de

crack bem como àqueles que se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade. ações preventivas e educativas voltadas para o público jovem podem se mostrar um recurso valioso para a diminuição da incidência do uso de
crack nessa faixa etária. Essas ações podem, inclusive, iniciar em fases anteriores como, por exemplo, na infância, fazendo com que os futuros adolescentes e jovens reconheçam os malefícios que as substâncias psicoativas trazem ao seu organismo, às pessoas que lhe cercam e à sociedade.

▼ O objetivo desse estudo foi compreender contextos de uso do
crack, a partir da análise das práticas e representações sociais relacionadas, buscando o modo como se constroem nas redes interacionais de seus usuários. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas entre 14 usuários de diferentes contextos e padrões de consumo. O consumo de
crack é atualmente um tema de ampla repercussão pública, tratado como um problema social grave que necessita de intervenções urgentes. A ênfase dada ao problema é remetida a um determinismo farmacológico, responsável pela produção de efeitos individuais e sociais diversos, tais como a dependência e o envolvimento com a criminalidade, existindo poucas discussões acerca dos aspectos sociais e culturais envolvidos no fenômeno do consumo. As concepções predominantes sobre o assunto situam que o usuário da substância tende a perder o controle do consumo, voltando-se à compulsão de usá-la, desvinculando-se de suas atividades cotidianas, com prejuízos profissionais e pessoais, além de perda do contato com seus grupos sociais de pertença. Esses efeitos têm sido atribuídos à fissura que a droga pode provocar no usuário, considerada um fator crítico para o desenvolvimento do uso compulsivo e da dependência. Os dados foram analisados através de análise temática de conteúdo e sugerem que as representações encontradas nesses contextos situavam o
crack como droga da destruição, responsável pelo fracasso de planos de vida, desconstrução familiar, carreira profissional, etc. Esse aspecto destruidor apareceu também no modo de consumir a droga, que implicava em episódios de ingestão intensa, com deterioração orgânica e prejuízos para a saúde. As práticas de cuidado no consumo se tornavam despercebidas, apesar de presentes, somente sendo focalizado o caráter nocivo da experiência. Diante dessa concepção, a dependência foi apresentada como um reforçador desse modo de lidar com a droga. Ao afirmar que se encontrava doente, dependente do
crack, o usuário demonstrava não ter mais preocupações em mediar o consumo, tornando-se “escravo” da droga. Contudo, a experiência do consumo era sempre mediada por algum tipo de controle, mesmo quando o usuário considerava que a droga havia tomado conta de seu ser. Assim sendo, perante essa compreensão da dependência, os usuários consideravam que o envolvimento com a criminalidade era uma consequência do consumo do
crack. Nesse âmbito, apesar dos usuários não se limitarem a realizar escolhas diante dessa ética do crime, as representações hegemônicas partilhadas em seus contextos de uso remetem essas
características como verdades sobre o
crack. Dessa forma, mesmo vivenciando outras experiências com a droga, acreditam que seu uso remete ao âmbito do prazer destrutivo, da impossibilidade de ação voluntária, na encarnação de uma figura de repulsa. As normas sociais vigentes na informalidade desses campos convocam os usuários a se tornarem dependentes, criminosos, incapazes de construir planos de vida. Nesse âmbito, os padrões de controle devem ser evidenciados, pois foram unânimes…

appendix A.
The research objective of this project was to
define the current state-of-the-art regarding the use of bridge
deck sealants and crack sealers to extend the life of reinforced
concrete bridge decks. The role of deck sealants and crack sealers
is to prevent chloride ion ingress, originating from deicing
materials spread on the road, from penetrating into the concrete
bridge deck and corroding the reinforcing steel bars. The report
includes the information generated from a literature review and
survey. The literature review focused on current and significant
studies in the field of deck and crack sealing. The intent of the
survey is to determine common practices for the use and application
of these sealers in different states throughout the United States.
After all of the information is collected and compiled from the
literature review and the survey, the best materials and practices
are recommended for use in Minnesota and throughout the
Midwest.

▼ An approach to quantify sparse biomass on construction materials was the main focus of this study. The purpose of this study was to verify the applicability of previously developed visualization and quantification techniques on mixed culture biofilms as a foundation for determining a crack's age in building materials with the help of biomass accumulation. Mixed culture biofilms were cultivated on non-porous surfaces, fed through the use of a stationary feeding technique, and evaluated through the use of confocal laser scanning microscopy. Being able to determine the approximate timing of occurrences of such cracks could potentially save millions of dollars each year in reduced frivolous insurance claims, legal fees, and insurance premiums.
Experiments were performed using two representative mixed bacterial communities at different nutrient concentrations. Results from the experiments substantiated the case for biological crack dating by establishing the applicability of these methods for mixed bacterial communities. Future work involves verifying the applicability of these methods for more diverse microbial colonies, varying temperature conditions, and varying nutrient contents in order to develop these methods for non-optimal oligotrophic field conditions.

▼ During thermal seasonal variations, expansive soils may exhibit increase in volume upon wetting (swell) and decrease in volume during drying (shrinkage). In this regard, it is essential to understand the variations in hydro-mechanical behavior of soils during wetting/drying cycles for evaluating the stability and sustainability of natural soils and engineering structures as well.
Crack formation is a widespread natural phenomenon raised during evaporation process of water from fully or partially-saturated soils during dry seasons. Fundamental to understanding
crack development in soils is twofold; first to determine the tensile strength under circumstances mimicking those in the field and second to track the motion of soil particles during multiple wetting and drying cycles. In most of the previous studies, the tensile strength was measured when external applied tensile loads produced failure in a soil tested under constant water content and matric suction. However, very little attention has been directed to study the impact of wetting/drying cycles on tensile strength incorporated with the evolution and propagation of cracks.
The research herein has stemmed from the observation of
crack propagation in some geotechnical structures when soils undergo successive drying and wetting cycles. Accordingly, this study was motivated by the assumption that
crack propagation is owing to the decrease in tensile strength of soil over cycles. A novel approach was employed using a new innovative device for measuring the tensile strength of the soil subjected to multiple wetting/drying cycles similar to the field conditions. The determination of tensile strength was incorporated with tracking the motion of soil particles during cycles by utilizing the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique.
The reduction of tensile strength was determined, and
crack propagation was quantitively described and analyzed over cycles.
The influences of soil interfaces and initial saturation conditions on shear strength and
crack behavior of soil were also studied. It was revealed through this research that
crack formation in soil is strongly related to the variations in the configurations of soil particles and stress state that occur during alternative shrinkage and swelling when exposed to drying and wetting, respectively. The findings generated by this study can be used to improve our understanding of
crack mechanism in soils during cyclic wetting/drying processes.

▼ Void space caused by drying of shrink-swell soils forms desiccation cracks and mesopores which conduct water from the soil surface, influencing water redistribution and complicating the partitioning infiltration and runoff. These paths impact hydrology, but often are not included in models because the standard method of modeling flow through soil (Richards’ equation) assumes a continuous matrix of particles-this assumption is invalidated by voids, the changing volume of paths is difficult to characterize, and parameters to simulate water flow are difficult to obtain for preferential flow routines. The Precision Agriculture Landscape Modeling System (PALMS) contains a Mesopore and Matrix (M&M) module, which was tested on cracking soil at the plot and field scale.
The M&M module predicted 10 times more mesopore area than, but was linearly related to, measurements of
crack area. Four irrigation events on plots of cracked soil and volumetric water content (VWC) output for the M&M module was compared to neutron moisture meter readings. Previous measurements of VWC and runoff on a 4.4 ha subwatershed were compared to predictions. The M&M module moved water down the profile quickly and eliminated unobserved ponding (plot) and runoff (field) that were simulated without the mesopores, modeling mesopore flow did produce more drainage. Simulations of water content of the soil profile were generally improved when the M&M module was used. The M&M module had easily obtainable and physically relevant parameters. The M&M module is a useful tool for model assisted decision making on landscapes where preferential flow occurs.

▼ The following research deals with the laboratory testing of laminated wooden arches unreinforced and reinforced with glass-fiber rods. An artificial
crack was placed between laminations, and behavior of the arch and rods were monitored as the
crack grew upon loading (rod strains,
crack length, displacement, etc.). The intent was to develop a deterministic analytical model using experimental data from the tested arches to investigate the effects of composite reinforcements. The model utilized an interface element scheme to simulate fracture in the arches, and the element behavior was governed by the fracture properties of the laminated wood. The model behavior was compared to that of the laboratory tests to determine the models accuracy. Comparisons between the model and laboratory data include
crack growth in the arches with respect to time, load versus deflection, strain in the reinforcing rods, and the effectiveness of the rods as reinforcement versus unreinforced arches.
Crack propagation and
crack detection gages were used to track the cracks growth during increased loading, and strain gages were used to monitor the strain in the rods. Compact fracture tests, as well as tensile tests were done on samples of the tested arches to provide necessary inputs into the analytical model. The reinforcing rods were also tested in tension along the fibers to obtain the modulus, as this orientation would receive the largest strains during testing (that is, a perpendicular modulus was of negligible importance). The gages were tested to determine if they failed upon the
crack reaching them, and the
crack itself was measured using radiographic imaging as well as a high speed camera.

▼ Traditional content creation for computer games is a costly process. In particular, current techniques for authoring destructible behaviour are labour intensive and often limited to a single object basis. We aim to create an intuitive approach which allows designers to visually define destructible behaviour for objects in a reusable manner, which can then be applied in real-time. First we present a short introduction into the way that destruction has been done in games for many years. To better understand the physical processes that are being replicated, we present some information on how destruction works in the real world, and the high level approaches that have developed to simulate these processes. Using criteria gathered from industry professionals, we survey previous research work and determine their usability in a game development context. The approach which suits these criteria best is then selected as the basis for the approach presented in this work. By examining commercial solutions the shortcomings of existing technologies are determined to establish a solution direction. To separate destructible behaviour from particular objects, we introduce the concept of destructible materials: where the material of an object usually defines the way an object looks, a destructible material will determine how it breaks. Destructible materials provide a reusable definition and intuitive way of designing and tweaking destructible behaviour of objects, which can then be applied in real-time. Using a prototype implementation we show the viability of the presented approach and how it extends previous research with reusability, making it more designer friendly and allowing the same destructible behaviour to be easily applied to different objects. While the prototype can only apply this destructible behaviour in real-time for simple cases, it still takes us a step in the right direction.

▼ Hydrogen embrittlement and fatigue are two modes of structural materials failure for which mechanistic understanding is still lacking. In addition, it has been found experimentally that concurrent cyclic loading and hydrogen gas exposure can lead to enhanced fatigue
crack growth rates. This work aims to propose a methodology to mitigate failure of steels by hydrogen embrittlement under monotonic loading and develop a mechanistic model for fatigue
crack growth in ductile materials.
It has been suggested that hydrogen embrittlement of steels may be mitigated by introduction of hydrogen traps in the steel microstructure to suppress the accumulation of the hydrogen necessary for
crack nucleation at fracture initiation sites. It has also been found experimentally that nano-scale vanadium carbides (VC) significantly improve the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of bainitic steel. To understand and quantify the effect of VC precipitates on hydrogen embrittlement, we analyze the re-partitioning of hydrogen among various trap states during cooling from high temperature and then during loading of a cracked test-piece at room temperature.
For the case of hydrogen-accelerated fatigue
crack growth, we first attempt to theoretically model fatigue
crack propagation induced by alternating
crack tip plastic blunting and re-sharpening in the mid-range of growth rates. The model is so designed that it relies on inputs from experiments that measure macroscopic material behavior, such as the uniaxial cyclic straining, and it can successfully reproduce the response in the Paris regime. The model is also used to investigate the dependence of fatigue
crack growth on the hydrostatic constraint. We then explore the hydrogen effect on
crack propagation under equilibrium conditions of hydrogen with material straining. The hydrogen effect is accounted for through the modification of the hardening response of the material according to the experimentally observed acceleration of the motion and generation of dislocations in the presence of hydrogen.
Lastly, we investigate the constitutive response of materials in the presence of hydrogen under cyclic loading. To accomplish this, we expand on the Chaboche constitutive model which we calibrate using a sequence of experimental data from uniaxial strain-controlled cyclic loading tests and uniaxial stress-controlled ratcheting tests of a low carbon steel, JIS SM490YB, in the absence and presence of hydrogen. From the combined experimental data and calibrated Chaboche model, we may conclude that hydrogen decreases the yield stress and the amount of cyclic hardening. On the other hand, hydrogen increases ratcheting, the rate of cyclic hardening, and advances stronger recovery.

▼ The research objective of this project was to define the current state-of-the-art regarding the use of bridge deck sealants and crack sealers to extend the life of reinforced concrete bridge decks. The role of deck sealants and crack sealers is to prevent chloride ion ingress, originating from deicing materials spread on the road, from penetrating into the concrete bridge deck and corroding the reinforcing steel bars.
The report includes the information generated from a literature review and survey. The literature review focused on current and significant studies in the field of deck and crack sealing. The intent of the survey is to determine common practices for the use and application of these sealers in different states throughout the United States. After all of the information is collected and compiled from the literature review and the survey, the best materials and practices are recommended for use in Minnesota and throughout the Midwest.

▼ Currently the nation's aging bridge infrastructure is approaching and in some cases exceeding its initial design life averaging more than forty years. Under these conditions steel bridges are susceptible to fatigue cracks at stress ranges below their material yield strength. In order to evaluate the remaining service life of these structures under their current operating conditions, it is important to accurately locate and identify active cracks within the material. Early detection of cracks and defects within a structure can provide inspectors and bridge maintenance personnel with viable information that can be used in the design and selection of an appropriate retrofit or repair technique that can be used to extend the service life of the bridge structure. Bridge inspections are typically conducted every two years primarily using visual inspection techniques. The active
crack sensing tool designed and analyzed in this study is based on the robust and high sensing capabilities of piezoceramic materials. This dissertation presents the analytical, computational, and experimental results of a novel approach to identifying and characterizing cracks in steel bridge structural components using a piezoceramic sensor. Using the newly designed Piezoelectric Active
Crack Tip Sensor (PACTS) tool, it was possible to detect an active
crack with an opening displacement of 0.056 mm [0.0022 in] could be sensed under dynamic loading conditions. By using a
crack opening linear trend (COLT) analysis, the
crack tip position could be located within 3 mm [1/8 in] without the use of correction or modification factors. The results of the research provide a foundation in establishing an inspection tool capable of identifying damage detection within an in-service structure. The identification of an active
crack and the ability to locate the
crack tip of a material provides bridge inspectors and maintenance personnel with valuable information related to the current bridge condition that could be used for maintenance, repair, or replacement of bridges structures in an effort to ensure the safe passage of people and goods across the nation.

▼ Crack sealing on hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement roads is a pavement maintenance technique used to limit the intrusion of water into the pavement structure, and thereby, delay additional distresses. There are two commonly used methods of crack sealing in Minnesota: (i) clean-and-seal, and (ii) rout-and-seal. Since roads in Minnesota are extremely susceptible to cracking in the transverse direction, the goal of this study was to provide insight to the most effective method of crack sealing on asphalt pavements. Based on the field performance results, this study compared the abovementioned two methods for difference scenarios and developed a decision tree to identify the most effective crack sealing method for a given condition of pavement and traffic. As an additional component to the primary study, a new testing procedure for evaluating the adhesiveness between the sealant material and the HMA matrix was developed. This procedure tests sealant materials in tension to produce a stress/strain curve of the sealant as it fails.

▼ Although 0.5- and 0.6-in. diameter strands are commonly used in the prestressing industry, there is a growing interest in the implementation of 0.7-in. diameter strands. However, the greater prestressing force induced poses several potential implications, particularly when the strands are placed on a 2- by 2-in. grid. One such issue is end-region cracking, an occurrence that is common in pretensioned girders, regardless of strand size. These cracks tend to grow in width, length, and number over time due to time-dependent effects such as shrinkage or creep. Additionally, the cracks tend to close under an applied load when placed in a service-state condition. End-region
crack widths are often used to evaluate the condition of pretensioned girders, so a thorough understanding of the development of these cracks is essential to applying
crack width criteria appropriately. A multifaceted experimental program was conducted at the Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin. A series of seven Texas bulb-tee girders employing 0.7-in. diameter strands was fabricated, monitored, and load tested under shear-critical conditions. The end-region cracks of three specimens were measured immediately after prestress transfer and monitored for at least 28 days, showing that the
crack widths grew significantly over time. This growth corresponded closely with the shrinkage strain measured at midspan of each girder, indicating that shrinkage is the primary cause of end-region
crack growth. A significant amount of transverse reinforcement is placed in end-regions to restrict cracks immediately after prestress transfer, but this same reinforcement also provides a large amount of restraint against concrete shrinkage, exacerbating
crack growth. End-region cracks were also measured during the shear-critical load test for two specimens. Although they closed in a linear manner, they were not completely closed at an expected service load. At ultimate load, the cracks never closed entirely, as the imperfect concrete surfaces bore against each other shortly after initial diagonal shear cracking. Based on both of these findings, future end-region
crack widths can be more accurately predicted from any point in the lifespan of a pretensioned girder, allowing for more appropriate applications of permissible
crack width limits.

▼ Crack Attenuating Mix (CAM) is relatively a new asphalt mixture type used by
the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). These mixtures are fine graded,
designed using relatively small stone sized aggregates and screenings with a high asphalt
content, specifically for retarding the reflective cracking in thin asphalt overlays without
sacrificing rutting resistance. The main goal of this study is to promote the use of local
aggregates in CAM design. In order to achieve the goal, the development of a mix design
procedure and aggregate quality guidelines for CAM design with local aggregates are
essential. Several aggregate sources were identified and characterized in terms of their
frictional, strength, and durability properties. A refined mix design procedure is
recommended using a Superpave gyratory compactor with the capability to measure
shear stress during compaction. The emphasis was on preventing rutting and flushing
resulting from overfilling of binder in these mixtures, which was observed during
compaction by consistent shear failures. The Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device (HWTD)
was used for performance evaluation of rutting, whereas the Overlay Tester (OT) was
used for cracking evaluation. It is hypothesized that current performance criteria in terms
of HWTD and OT are too severe for being applicable to CAM mixes with local
aggregates. A modification in HWTD failure criterion is recommended and is used in
developing new aggregate guidelines. A correlation analysis was conducted relating
aggregate properties and CAM performance in rutting and cracking. Finally, aggregate
quality guidelines were developed for CAM using local aggregates based on the
correlation study. The mix design recommendations as well as aggregate guidelines and
quality criteria provided in the report are based on laboratory investigations and field
validation of these is strongly recommended before implementation.

▼ Microwave irradiation has been considered as a potential method for weakening rock in mining and civil engineering applications. Most rocks in Earth’s crust are predominantly composed of silicate minerals, which are weak microwave absorbers, and the behavior of these rocks under microwave irradiation is not completely understood. This contribution examines the mineralogical and textural controls governing microwave-induced cracking in granites and the influence of the presence of hydrated minerals. A review of existing methods to characterize cracks indicated that there is no single method that provides comprehensive data on
crack location, morphology, mineralogy, textural controls, and reduction of rock strength. Therefore this study developed an integrated suite of methods to assess cracks. Mechanical properties are quantified using relative P-wave velocity measurements and Uniaxial Compressive Strength tests. The morphology of microwave-induced cracks is assessed using new micro-computed tomography and 3D imaging tools. The mineralogical association of cracks is quantitatively described using a combination of optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, automated mineralogy, and point counting. Results show that contrary to hypotheses presented in the literature, the color, water, or iron content of constituent minerals cannot be used to predict the microwave behavior of a rock. The texture of the rock is an important governing factor. Coarse grained rocks develop complex networks of narrow cracks whereas fine grained rocks will develop few wider cracks. Fine pre-existing weaknesses in granite do not appear to be affected by microwave irradiation and are easily discernable from microwave-induced damage. Adjacent mineral grains with contrasting properties (microwaving, thermal, physical or chemical) appear to be critical to the development of cracks. If microwave technology is applied to rocks made up of minerals that are weak microwave absorbers, the ideal candidates constitute coarse grained (1-5 mm) rocks containing randomly disseminated minerals with contrasting properties. This includes granites, granodiorites, diorites, and gabbros, conglomerates, breccias, coarse sandstones, and metamorphic rocks without small-scale fabrics. Granite hosted ore deposits such as porphyry copper, certain skarn (tin, tungsten, and molybdenum), epithermal deposits, intrusion-related gold, and rare earth element-bearing deposits and IOCG deposits hosted in breccias could also be viable candidates.

▼ This thesis aims to investigate the mechanical properties and fatigue characteristics with various
crack length and different inclined angles of Ti/APC-2 hybrid composite laminates due to the tensile tests and fatigue tests. From the empirical data of tensile and fatigue tests, we obtain the important results as follows. First, the value of KI is decreased with the increase of inclined angles, where is the value of KII is maximal when the inclined angle is 45ï¾. Second, the shorter the cracks, the faster residual strength declines; and so on. Third, the value of stress intensity factor is increased with the finite width function , F(a/w) .Finally, the inclined angles are, the fatigue residual life of the longer
crack length (6.0mm) is generally better than other
crack length(1.5mm,3.0mm) specimens.
The load-displacement diagrams of various
crack length and different inclined angles specimens after the static tensile tests were plotted. In fatigue tests, were adopted the constant stress amplitude tension-tension cyclic tests, and the load-control mode at a sinusoidal loading wave with frequency of 5Hz and stress ratio R=0.1. From fatigue tests we obtained fatigue data, and plotted the load vs. cycles diagrams with different inclined single-edged cracks.
The Ti/APC-2 laminates were three-layered laminates, with a piece of 0.55 mm thickness APC-2 lay-ups covered by two pieces of 0.5 mm titanium alloy sheets. APC-2 laminates were stacked according to cross-ply [0/90]s sequences. Using chromic acid anodic method to surface treat titanium, the chromic acid anodic method can perfectly bond the titanium sheets and APC-2. The curing process were used to fabricate Ti/APC-2 hybrid composite laminates.The inclined single-edged cracks were cut by electrical discharge machine , the
crack lengths were 1.5, 3.0, 6.0 mm and the inclined angles were 15ï¾,30ï¾,45ï¾. And the MTS 810 material testing machine was used to conduct all the static tensile tests and fatigue tests.

▼ O crack, subproduto da cocaína, introduzida na década de 80 no Brasil, é um potente estimulador do Sistema Nervoso Central (SNC), desde a sua introdução no país, verificou-se que os efeitos no convívio social e familiar do usuário são quase imediatos, levando a sociedade e o estado a terem uma preocupação maior com o seu uso e controle. Devido à magnitude dos efeitos da abstinência das substâncias psicoativas (no caso o crack), a recaída apareceu como um fator comum no cotidiano dos usuários, para analisar esse fato se propôs na década de 70 um modelo de tratamento denominado Prevenção de Recaída (PR), baseado no modelo compensatório (Terapia cognitivo-comportamental) em que não há julgamento ou atribuição de culpa ao indivíduo pelo uso da droga, mas o leva à reflexão sobre seus atos e a se responsabilizar pelas mudanças de comportamento. Assim o objetivo desse estudo foi identificar os determinantes intrapessoais e interpessoais do processo de recaída em usuários de crack, além de identificar o perfil sociodemográfico, o inicio do uso e padrão de uso de crack e outras drogas (lícitas e ilícitas). Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de teor descritivo. A pesquisa ocorreu em um CAPS ad II em uma cidade do interior de Minas Gerais e a amostra foi de conveniência. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi- estruturas em duas etapas, com intervalo de três meses cada uma com os mesmos participantes, foi aplicada a análise de conteúdo no tratamento dos dados qualitativos. Os dados sociodemográficos concordaram com a literatura nacional; exceto no que tange a média de idade. O início do consumo de drogas ocorreu com o uso de drogas lícitas na adolescência e a relação dos usuários de crack com as demais SPA (lícitas e ilícitas) mostrou-se ambivalente, não sendo reconhecidas como \"drogas\", particularmente o álcool, percebido também como gatilho ou porta de entrada para o uso do crack, já as recaídas apareceram atreladas a fatores intrapessoais e interpessoais, sendo que eles se retroalimentam, criando um círculo vicioso. O estudo mostrou que, no atendimento ao usuário de crack deve-se trabalhar com todas as facetas do uso ou do motivo da recaída, e identificar juntamente com o usuário, os gatilhos de recaída e a rede de apoio de que dispõe, fortalecendo-o na busca de mecanismos de autocontrole do uso
The crack, a byproduct of cocaine, introduced in the 80s in Brazil, is a potent stimulator of the central nervous system (CNS), since its introduction in the country, it was found that the effects on social and family life of the user are almost immediate , leading the society and the state to have a major concern with its use and control. Due to the magnitude of the effects of abstinence l of psychoactive substances (in this case crack), relapse appeared as a common factor in the daily lives of users, to analyze this fact was proposed in the 70\'s a model of treatment called Relapse Prevention (RP) based on the compensatory model (cognitive behavioral therapy) in which there is no…
