- A Combined Rapid-Quench and H2-Membrane Setup for Internally Heated Pressure Vessels: Description and Application for Water Solubility in Basaltic Melts
- This study presents improvements of internally heated pressure vessels to realize high-pressure experiments at controlled fO2 in low-viscosity systems such as basaltic ones. It gives explanation of the new design which is a combination of two experimental techniques: a hydrogen sensor membrane made of platinum to measure fH2, and therefore...

- Stress of Life: Analyzing a Medical Device at an Early Design Stage Makes It Easier to Save Lives Later
- Implanting a stent has become a common treatment for cardiovascular disease, especially in cases of heart attack. The little metal implant is a reticulated cylinder that holds a blood vessel open, so blood can flow in a healthy manner. Angioplasty, a treatment that reopens a blood vessel but does not...

- Analysis of US Oil Spill Trends to Develop Scenarios for Contingency Planning
- A method for using past US oil spill data to project potential future vessel spill sizes was demonstrated including methods for taking into account vessel type and local factors (e.g., vessel traffic, navigational hazards, and regulations) and implementation of spill prevention measures e.g., tanker double-hulls). This paper describes a methodology,...

- Catastrophic SSC Failure of a Dissimilar Metal Weld in a High Pressure Hydrogen Vessel
- This paper presents the failure analysis of a high-pressure hydrogen vessel operating in cryogenic service that failed instantaneously along the fusion line of a dissimilar metal weld. Failure was attributed to sulfide stress cracking SSC of the hard fusion line that developed after welding the 3-1/2 Ni steel plate with...

- Welding Structure for Sour Service
- Several types of damage can occur in carbon-steel pressure-containment equipment exposed to sour environments. Each component in a pressure-containment system must be resistant to each of the hydrogen damage mechanisms for the system to be suitable for sour service. A complex assembly such as a pressure vessel for three-phase separation...

- Fast and Automatic Vessel Centerline Detection for MRA
- The extraction of vessel centerlines allows for better understanding of their topology, and can be used for further registration or quantification. They present a new method to extract the centerlines from Magnetic Resonance Angiographies. They use the gradient and the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix to interpolate the zero-crossing of...
