  • Synthesis of a Correcting Equation for 3 Point Bending Test Data
    Paper ID #32026 Synthesis of a Correcting Equation for 3 Point Bending Test Data Mr. Jacob Allen Poremski, Geneva College Jacob A. Poremski is currently an undergraduate student at Geneva College. He is a senior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Concentration in Mechanical Engineering) and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics. He has worked as an Apprentice Product Engineering Intern at Kennametal INC during the summers of 2018 and 2019. I am interested in the mechanics side of mechanical engineering. More specifically, I seek to pursue a career that deals with the design, optimization, and analysis of products. My professional development at Kennametal over the past two summers has focused on analyzing both the static and fatigue properties associated with products during operation. Verification of results and generating technical analysis reports followed all completed analyses. Currently, I am working on a senior design project focused on the design and analysis of robotic end of arm tooling to help Kennametal automate a specific pick and place process in a manufacturing facility. I seek to attend graduate school to obtain a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering part time while working full time as a Mechanical Engineer. Dr. Christopher Charles Jobes P.E., Geneva College Dr. Jobes is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a Professional Engineer certified in Pennsylvania with his own consulting company, and is a Research En- gineer for the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Pittsburgh Research Center. He worked for the U. S. Bureau of Mines in control and navigation of a computer-assisted mining machine from 1987 through 1997 earning his Professional Engineering certification from Pennsylvania in 1989.

  • Facilities on the RCRA GPRA Cleanup Baseline
    Facilities on the RCRA GPRA Cleanup Baseline Most of these facilities were identified in the early 1990's when EPA and the states were prioritizing their corrective action workload, and were identified as facilities where early cleanup progress would be appropriate. Today, many of these facilities have already made substantial progress in their cleanup efforts. Some of these facilities have met the environmental indicator (EI) measures and at some of these facilities cleanup is complete. Many of the facilities that have not yet met the EI measures have still made substantial progress by stabilizing the problems or in some cases beginning final remedies. Some percentage of these facilities have not yet been assessed by EPA or the states for EI determinations. When assessed, it may be determined that some of these facilities currently meet EI measures. EPA will be focusing resources on meeting the environmental indicators for the facilities on this Baseline. The company names found on this list are the current facility owners. There may be companies on this baseline that are the current property owner but did not cause the contamination. There may also be cases where the former owners have entered an agreement to be responsible for cleanup. Unfortunately, the database is unable to track and identify these instances. Human Exposure Environmental Indicator Groundwater Environmental Indicator CA725 (Status Code) CA750 (Status Code) YE - "Current Human Exposures Under Control" has YE - Yes, "Migration of Contaminated Groundwater been verified. Under Control" has been verified. NO - "Current Human Exposures" are NOT "Under NO - Unacceptable migration of contaminated Control." groundwater is observed or expected.
