Coupled partitioning, interfacial chemistry and autocatalysis are shown through experiments kinetic modeling to drive condensation reactions at the air/water interface.
Towers or tower-line systems within a power network can experience damages under rare earthquakes strong winds. The estimation of the failure probability system is rarely addressed for scenario wind earthquake events. One difficulties to evaluate reliability tower associated with computationally demanding task assessing nonlinear inelastic dynamic responses capacity curves towers spatiotemporally varying loads. An assessment curve (i.e., considering tower-wire interaction) loads presented...
Although aqueous microdroplets have been shown to exhibit enhanced chemical reactivity compared bulk solutions, mechanisms for these enhancements are not completely understood. Pyruvic acid (PA) is an abundant α-keto in aerosols, fogs, and clouds the atmosphere, its conjugate base, pyruvate, important intermediate several metabolic pathways. Utilizing situ micro-Raman spectroscopy as a probe, we investigated chemistry of PA within relative humidity (RH)- temperature-controlled...
The stability of surfactant-laden bilayer thin films, where the top layer is subject to van der Waals driven breakup, relevance applications one liquid spread on another, such as film-forming foams and multilayer coatings.
Understanding the stability of thin liquid trilayer films is direct relevance to applications such as multilayer coatings and polymer processing. The can also be used provide insights into emulsion dynamics, rupture film formed between two droplets during coalescence. Often, emulsions are laden with surfactants other additives, which present in one or both phases well at interfaces liquids. In experimental studies, complicating factors variations droplet sizes, curvatures, collision...
The design and modelling of 10-, 15-, 20-storey wood buildings with cross-laminated timber glulam structural members are presented in the present study. system is platform-type construction a core, perimeter walls as lateral load resisting system, columns gravity system. designed satisfy requirements stipulated applicable codes Canada. hysteretic models associated parameters used to model fasteners for developed. Assessments nonlinear inelastic seismic responses capacity curves carried out...
The cross-laminated timber and glulam structural members could be used as for mid- high-rise buildings. Reliability of wood buildings designed following Canadian practice constructed using such construction material that is important design code making, not known. In this study, the probability incipient yield collapse three subjected to seismic load are presented. For analysis, an equivalent nonlinear inelastic single-degree-of-freedom system approximate building performance under...
The present investigation provides the first field characterization of influence turbulent inflow on blade structural response a utility-scale wind turbine (2.5MW), using unique facility available at Eolos Wind Energy Research Station University Minnesota. A representative one-hour dataset under stable atmosphere is selected for characterization, including data measured from meteorological tower, high-resolution strain measurement different circumferential and radiation positions along...
