MS-015: Frederick H. Kronenberger, Company G, 2nd Regiment New Jersey Volunteers

The bulk of the collection consists of 26 letters written by Kronenberger to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kronenberger, and aunts and uncles Hill and Ludwig while posted at Camp Perrine, Trenton, New Jersey, in December 1863, and from a camp near Brandy Station, Virginia between January and April 1864. His letters tell about his need for stamps, hats, shirts, vests, a rubber blanket and ink. He states that he likes hard tack. He writes about visiting friends in other units, receiving letters from family and friends, sending money to his parents, sending photographs of himself and receiving photographs, and newspapers (New York Herald, Sunday Mercury and True Flag). He writes of enjoying baseball games between other units, pitching quoits, and hunting for rabbits and squirrels. Several letters between, Kronenberger\u27s parents and Miss Belle Robison, a nurse/aid at Fredericksburg, discuss the wounds Frederick sustained and his subsequent death, as does a letter from James King, Surgeon General. There is also a letter from a teacher, Anne D. Potts. Miscellaneous items include notes, poems and Charles Kronenberger\u27s 1852 U.S. naturalization certificate. Letters and other material are arranged chronologically. Special Collections and College Archives Finding Aids are discovery tools used to describe and provide access to our holdings.

MS-007: The Papers of Jerry Spinelli, Class of 1963

The Jerry Spinelli collection traces the writing career of the children’s author from 1961- 2003. The papers consist mainly of various versions of manuscripts including his original handwritten manuscripts, several editions of his books and some promotional material. The researcher will not find materials about life at Gettysburg College or Temple University, or his work at Chilton Publishing; genealogical data, diaries, memorabilia or photographs.

Correlation of a predictive analytical model to experimental results for a thick composite plate in a bolted joint configuration

The use of composite materials has become more prevalent in recent years. Not only has the range of applications grown, but the configuration of the composite materials has increased in scope as well. The combination of high strength to weight, ability to tailor strength directionally and acoustic properties have pushed the development of fabrication techniques and application for increasingly thick load bearing composites. This project was developed with the desire to study these structures in a manner that would lead to advances in applications and greater understanding of the mechanics involved. Specifically, the response of a thick composite panel fabricated from a woven carbon fiber reinforced polymer epoxy in a clamped bolted joint configuration and the strength of the composite-bolt interface for an applied bending load are evaluated. This study adds to the body of knowledge regarding this configuration, develops an FEA model that will allow study of similar configurations for evaluation without the extensive need for prototype development and correlates the analytical results to experimental data

Development of a self-healing dual-dielectric thin film capacitor for microwave applications

This investigation was undertaken to determine the properties of the TSM type thin film dual-dielectric capacitor with a manganese dioxide layer added to its counterelectrode structure to form the TSMM type capacitor
