Abstract: Large power transformers are both expensive and vulnerable to seismic failure. Excessive amplification of earthquake loading to power-transformer bushings beyond the bushings’ rated strength can occur if the system’s ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of electromagnetic (EM) waves—with minimal heat generation—on transport mechanisms to improve soil/groundwater cleanup. This effect was experimentally examined for the transport of a nonreactive ...

Abstract: This paper explains and evaluates the potential and limitations of conducting cross-well radar (CWR) in sandy soils. Implementing the experiment and data collection in the absence of any scattering object, and in the ...

Abstract: Close agreement between theory and experiment is critical for adequate understanding and implementation of the cross-well radar (otherwise known as cross-borehole ground penetrating radar) technique, mentioned in a previous ...
