ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Financial support for this work was provided by the NASA Tennessee Space Grant Consortium, Vanderbilt University, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. I would like to thank Prof. Alvin Strauss and Prof. George Cook for conceiving and directing this research. Prof. Greg Walker, Prof. Mitch Wilkes, and Prof. Jon Edd, I would like to thank for serving on my committee. I would like to acknowledge the machining and design expertise of Bob Patchin and John Fellenstein. I thank Kate Lansford for assistance in cross-sectioning weld samples and UTSI Tullahoma for use of their facility. I recognize the assistance of Robin Midgett in mechanical testing of weld samples. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Fleming, Dr. Dave DeLapp, Dr. Russ Longhurst, Jeff Bernath, Chase Cox, Brian Gibson, Dr. Dan Hartman, Thomas Bloodworth, Dr. Reginald Crawford, Dr. Thomas Lienert, Tracie Prater, and Matt Bement for research input. Completion of this work was made possible by research licenses from The Welding Institute of England (TWI) for use of the friction stir welding process and Edison Welding Institute (EWI) for use of a variable penetration tool. Lastly, I would like to thank Dr. David R. Lammlein for inspiration, and Presley and Fonda Carpenter for their boundless love and support. I dedicate this work to my mother, father, and brother; whose consistent guidance and support have made this possible. ii
