A study is made of top-surface cracks induced in brittle trilayers by cyclic indentation with a hard sphere in water. The trilayers consist of an external
An analysis of inner cone cracks in brittle solids subject to cyclic indentation in liquid is presented. These inner cone cracks, so named because they form
This paper describes a calibrated broadband emitter for the millimeter-wave through terahertz frequency regime, called the aqueous blackbody calibration source
The coupling between ferromagnetism and electrical current has recently been the object of intense study because of the combination of interesting scientific
Even though reverberation chambers have been used primarily for radiated immunity testing, they are reciprocal devices that are equally applicable for radiated
