- Description:
- In the Western classical art music tradition, a high level of music performance is achieved at the intersection of a musician's emotional, cognitive, and physical processes. Expert classical musicians have both an aural imagining of the sound they intend to produce and the physical associations of what it feels like...

- Perhaps better suited for the mosh pit than the orchestra pit, David Lang’s 1991 tour-de-force for solo bass clarinet, Press Release, is a minimalist marvel. Comprised of seven “groove sections” that evolve in seemingly unpredictable ways, Lang cleverly employs monophony to tell a robust story of motivic and harmonic development....

- Description:
- Northwestern University developed copper-precipitation-hardened, high-performance weathering steel (NUCu 70W Steel) that is produced by hot rolling after casting and then air-cooling. Due to simple processing the steel is fabricated at lower cost than competing high-performance steels that require quench and tempering. NUCu 70W steel can be easily welded without pre-...

- Description:
- Experimental Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) data obtained from the field are compared with numerical simulations using a finite-difference solution of the transmission line equations. The model simulates transmission of a voltage pulse along a lossy coaxial cable where deformities on the cable, such as crimps and shears, are represented by...

- Description:
- This presentation is intended to provide background on the principles involved in geotechnical and infrastructure applications of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). TDR is basically radar in which a voltage pulse is launched along a coaxial cable. A reflection of the voltage pulse occurs at every location where the cable is...

- Description:
- Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is a versatile technology amenable to a variety of measurements and nondestructive monitoring of infrastructure conditions. It can be utilized to monitor deformation of soil/rock and structures, monitor changes in fluid levels, and monitor water content of soils. Furthermore, this monitoring can be automated using systems...

- Description:
- This thesis combines field and laboratory measurements with three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEM) to demonstrate the use of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) cable-grout composites to measure localized shearing in soft soil. Past field installations of TDR cable-grout composites in rock have lead to its widespread use in the...
