Effective Use of New Materials and Methodologies for Blast Mitigation in New and Renovated Facilities by the Armed Services
Since 1993, there have been numerous terrorist bombing attacks toward US facilities located on US or US controlled soil. This fact has motivated government organizations to take a hard look at how their facilities are constructed and what would be the consequences if a device were detonated in the vicinity to damage the facilities and injure or kill the occupants. The armed services have a large role to play in this effort, based on the number and location of installations they own or operate and the threat probability of a future attack. In response, private industry and government research facilities have developed a significant number of innovations in materials and methodologies for building construction and renovation that are now available in order to help mitigate the damage to facilities and occupants as a result of explosive blast. These innovations have been directly and indirectly prompted by the fear of other attacks on US soil, plus the recognition by private industry of the potential lucrative market. The armed services have made efforts to test and incorporate these materials and methodologies into their building codes and standards; the extent of these incorporations is the focus of this research.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Wales, Alaska High Penetration Wind-Diesel Hybrid Power System
To reduce the cost of rural power generation and the environmental impact of diesel fuel usage, the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), Kotzebue Electric Association (KEA, a rural Alaskan utility), and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), began a collaboration in late 1995 to implement a high-penetration wind-diesel hybrid power system in a village in northwest Alaska. The project was intended to be both a technology demonstration and a pilot for commercial replication of the system in other Alaskan villages. During the first several years of the project, NREL focused on the design and development of the electronic controls, the system control software, and the ancillary components (power converters, energy storage, electric dump loads, communications links, etc.) that would be required to integrate new wind turbines with the existing diesels in a reliable highly automated system. Meanwhile, AEA and KEA focused on project development activities, including wind resource assessment, site selection and permitting, community relationship building, and logistical planning. Ultimately, the village of Wales, Alaska, was chosen as the project site. Wales is a native Inupiat village of approximately 160 inhabitants, with an average electric load of about 75 kW.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Critical Infrastructure Portfolio Selection Model
This thesis proposes and demonstrates a methodology that enables the user to generate optimal portfolios of projects, based largely on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach developed by Israeli professors and industrial engineers, Harel Eilat, Boaz Golany, and Avraham Shtub. The purpose of this methodology, known as the Critical Infrastructure Portfolio Selection Model, is to help policy makers prioritize the allocation of resources while working towards the achievement of short and long term security objectives via the construction, security, and maintenance of critical infrastructure. In order to achieve this end, this thesis modifies the approach developed by Eilat, et al. and applies it to the restoration of essential services and reconstruction of critical infrastructure components within a stability operations environment. The Critical Infrastructure Portfolio Selection Model facilitates this prioritization effort by evaluating a project's ability to transform inputs (budget amounts) into meaningful outputs which are directly linked to strategic measures of effectiveness. The Critical Infrastructure Portfolio Selection Model also offers a holistic and balanced approach to the reconstruction challenge by explicitly incorporating infrastructure project interdependencies and probabilities of project success into the mathematical model by using the concepts of critical node analysis and reliability theory demonstrated by the renowned computer scientist and infrastructure protection expert, Dr. Ted Lewis.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

MOD-2 Wind Turbine
This report summarizes research into characteristics of acoustic noise emissions of the DOE/NASA MOD-2 wind turbine. The results of this study showed that the MOD-2 noise levels are well below annoyance thresholds within residential structures a kilometer or more from the turbine rotor. It was also found that the inflow turbulent structure has a major influence on the level and characteristics of the low-frequency-range (2-150 Hz) acoustic emissions which, in turn, have implications for the associated structural response of the rotor assembly. The high-frequency-range (A-weighted) levels were found to vary primarily with the mean hub-height wind speed. The rotor inflow turbulence characteristics at the Goodnoe Hills site were found to be controlled almost entirely by the diurnal variation in the vertical stability of the first 100 m of the atmospheric boundary layer.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Thermal Sleeping Environments
The connection between the sleep environment and quality of sleep is significant. To get a good night's rest, a person needs to be in an environment conducive to sleep, which means having or creating the right conditions for it. Thermal Sleeping Environments: Control and Optimization provides a comprehensive coverage on cutting-edge heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment; novel bed-based task/ambient conditioning (TAC) systems; and advanced materials for building envelopes, bedroom furniture, and textiles for beddings. The performance of the technologies presented is analyzed through thermal comfort charts and modeling endeavors, which are in turn validated by the notions of human physiological responses during sleep. The foundational principles of fluid mechanics alongside sustainably built environment and energy efficiency considerations also complement this discussion.Written by academic experts who aim to compile a unique reference resource to foster further subject matter research, this book should appeal to a broad range of readers whose work or study interests focuses on sustainable buildings and the wellbeing of their occupants.
Numerical Tools for Isogeometric Analysis
The present book deals with the development of robust numerical tools for Isogeometric Analysis suitable for problems of solid mechanics in the nonlinear regime. To that end, a new solid-shell element, based on the Assumed Natural Strain method, is presented for the analysis of thin shell-like structures. The formulation is extensively validated using a set of well-known benchmark problems available in the literature, in both linear and nonlinear (geometric and material) regimes. It is also proposed an alternative formulation which is focused on the alleviation of the volumetric locking pathology in linear elastic problems. In addition, an introductory study in the field of contact mechanics, in the context of Isogeometric Analysis, is also presented, with special focus on the implementation of a the Point-to-Segment algorithm. All the methodologies presented in the current work were implemented in a in-house code, together with several pre- and post-processing tools.
