Fatigue crack growth rates of API X70 pipeline steel in a pressurized hydrogen gas environment

December 21, 2013

Hydrogen is known to have a deleterious effect on metal, but pipelines will still be the most cost- effective means of transporting hydrogen gas and sour gas. Rather, it is the codes and standards, such as ASME B31.12, that will guide the design of

THE EFFECT OF MICROSTRUCTURE ON THE HYDROGEN-ASSISTED FATIGUE OF PIPELINE STEELS

July 14, 2013

Andrew J. Slifka, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Robert L. Amaro, Damian S. Lauria, April Stevenson, Douglas G. Stalheim, Louis E. Hayden
Tests on the fatigue crack growth rate were conducted on four pipeline steels, two of grade API 5L- X52 and two API 5L-X70. One X52 material was from the mid 1960s and the other was manufactured in 2011. The two X70 materials had a similar vintage and

FATIGUE CRACK GROWTH OF TWO X52 PIPELINE STEELS IN A PRESSURIZED HYDROGEN ENVIRONMENT

Andrew J. Slifka, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Neha N. Rustagi, Damian S. Lauria, Joseph D. McColskey, Robert L. Amaro
Fatigue crack growth tests were conducted on two API 5L X52 pipeline steel alloys. One alloy was from a new linepipe that was installed for hydrogen service in 2011. The other alloy was from a vintage pipe that first saw natural gas service in 1964

Optical Trapping in Air of an Individual Nanotube-Sphere Device

August 10, 2012

Andrew J. Slifka, Gurpreet Singh, Paul Rice, Damian S. Lauria, Roop Mahajan
We demonstrate the optical manipulation of a polystyrene bead in air attached to an individual carbon nanotube. In continuation of our previous work [1] we have also utilized this technique to demonstrate the calibration of a nanotube-sphere (NT-sphere)

Electrochemical measurement of diffusion in photopolymerized polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels

October 29, 2010

Kavita M. Jeerage, Stephanie M. LaNasa, Holly A. Hughes, Damian S. Lauria, Stephanie J. Bryant, Andrew J. Slifka
Scanning electrochemical microscopy has been used to examine the molecular transport properties of photopolymerized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels having different mesh sizes. Both the molecular weight (508 Da or 3000 Da) of the PEG diacrylate

Observations of Nanobubble Formation on Carbon Nanotubes

May 28, 2010

Andrew J. Slifka, Damian S. Lauria, Gurpreet Singh, Roop L. Mahajan
We used an optical trap and a high-speed camera to image bubble initiation on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The laser wavelength was 1064 nm and the average power was 100 mW. This is the first demonstration of bubble formation on individual

An Instrumented Bioreactor for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Timothy P. Quinn, Colm Flannery, Damian S. Lauria, Douglas V. Gallagher, Kristi S. Anseth
Bioreactors for in vitro growth of engineered tissue (ET) would ideally include sensors that would continuously measure the functional quality of the construct during incubation. Principles of feedback control could then be used to optimize properties of
