Neutron Interferometry Detection of Early Crack Formation in Fatigued Additively Manufactured SS316 Dogbones

February 15, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Hong Yao, Adam J. Brooks, Ali Haghshenas, Jumao Yuan, Caroline G. Lowery, Jacob M. LaManna, David L. Jacobson, Nikolay Kardjilov, Shengmin Guo, Michael M. Khonsari, Leslie G. Butler
Fatigue in selective laser melted (SLM) and conventional SS316 dogbones was studied with neutron imaging methods for attenuation, scattering, and diffraction. To detect the microcrack evolution in fatigued samples,two methods of grating-based neutron

Beyond Catalysis and Membranes: Visualizing and Solving the Electrode Water Challenge in AEMFCs

February 8, 2018
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, Travis J. Omasta, Andrew M. Park, Jacob M. LaManna, Yufeng Zheng, Xiong Peng, Lianqin Wang, David L. Jacobson, John R. Varcoe, Bryan S. Pivovar, William E. Mustain
A majority of anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) reported in the literature have been unable to achieve high current or power. A recently proposed theory is that the achievable current is largely limited by poorly balanced water during cell

Influence of Substrate Moisture State and Roughness on Interface Microstructure and Bond Strength: Slant Shear vs. Direct Tension Testing

December 8, 2017
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Igor de la Varga, Jose Munoz, Robert Spragg, Benjamin Graybeal, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Scott Z. Jones, Jacob M. LaManna
There are conflicting views in the literature concerning the optimum moisture state for an existing substrate prior to the application of a repair material. Both saturated-surface-dry (SSD) and dry substrates have been found to be preferable to the other

Neutron and X-ray Tomography (NeXT) system for simultaneous, dual modality tomography

November 27, 2017
Author(s)
Jacob M. LaManna, Daniel S. Hussey, Elias M. Baltic, David L. Jacobson
Dual mode tomography offers the potential of improved estimation of the composition of a sample from the complimentary of the interaction of the two probes with the sample. We have developed a simultaneous neutron and 90 keV X-ray tomography system that is

Studying Water and Solute Transport through Desalination Membranes via Neutron Radiography

October 25, 2017
Author(s)
Devin L. Shaffer, Jacob M. LaManna, David L. Jacobson, Daniel S. Hussey, Menachem Elimelech, Edwin P. Chan
Neutron radiography, a non-destructive imaging technique, is applied to study water and solute transport through desalination membranes. Specifically, we use neutron radiography to quantify lithium chloride draw solute concentrations across a thin-film

Measurement and Modeling of the Ability of Crack Fillers to Prevent Chloride Ingress into Mortar

August 1, 2017
Author(s)
Scott Z. Jones, Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey Davis, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, John L. Molloy, John R. Sieber
One of the most common repair procedures applied to damaged concrete is the filling of cracks by the application (injection) of an organic polymer. This operation is performed to increase the service life of the concrete by removing a preferential pathway

Simultaneous Neutron and X-Ray Imaging of 3D Kerogen and Fracture Structure in Shales

June 17, 2017
Author(s)
Wei-Shan NMN Chiang, Jacob M LaManna, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Yun Liu, Jilin Zhang, Daniel T. Georgi, Jin-hong Chen
Hydrocarbon production from shales using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has been the key development in US energy industry in the past decade and has now become more important globally. Nevertheless, many fundamental problems related to the

Neutron Radiography Measurement of Salt Solution Absorption in Mortar

February 1, 2017
Author(s)
Catherine Lucero, Robert Spragg, Dale P. Bentz, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jason Weiss
A portion of the concrete pavements in the US have recently been observed to have premature joint deterioration. While this damage has been attributed to a wide variety of potential factors, it is hypothesized that one component of this damage can be

The Center for Research on Extreme Batteries

September 19, 2016
Author(s)
Eric Wachsman, Cynthia Lundgren, Esther S. Takeuchi, Kang Xu, Chunsheng Wang, Joseph Dura, David L. Jacobson, Kahlil Amine, William Acker
How much would you spend on a battery if your life depended on it? Rarely is that question asked as the vast majority of battery development is focused on bringing down battery cost for wide spread consumer acceptance. However, for many industries

A pseudo-3D model to investigate heat and water transport in large area PEM fuel cells - Part 2: Application on an automotive driving cycle

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, J-P Poirot-Crouvezier, M. Chandesris, S. Rosini, David L. Jacobson, Jacob M. LaManna, A. Morin, Y. Bultel
In this work, the pseudo-3D multiphysics model introduced in Part 1 of this two-part series of papers is used to investigate heat and water transport in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell designed for an automotive application. The main advantage of the

Applications of Neutron Imaging and Future Possibilities

May 15, 2016
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson
Neutron imaging applications exploit the power of neutrons to penetrate through metals and measure small concentrations of hydrogen and lithium with high sensitivity. The recent advances made in digital imaging devices have enabled many novel neutron

A New Experiment for Determining Evaporation and Condensation Coefficients of Cryogenic Propellants

March 1, 2016
Author(s)
Kishan Bellur, E F. Medici, M Kulshreshtha, V Konduru, D Tyrewala, A Tamilarasan, J McQuillen, Juscelino Leao, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Julia Scherschligt, J Hermanson, C Choi, J Allen
Passive and active technologies have been used to control propellant boil-o , but the current state of understanding of cryogenic evaporation and condensation in microgravity is insucient for designing large cryogenic depots critical to the long-term
