Calibration measurements of thin heat flux sensors for building applications are presented. The findings support the continued development of precision and bias...
Nanometer-scale plowing friction and wear of a polycarbonate thin film were directly measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) with nanoscratching...

Comparisons are made between calculations and measured angle-resolved light scattering distributions from clear dielectric isotropic epoxy coatings over a range...
We used a novel toroidal cross capacitor to measure accurately the dielectric polarizability e(p) (i.e., the dielectric constant) of helium, argon, nitrogen...

The recently completed upgrade of the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF III) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has...
The International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition that accompanied the 2001 ASHRAE Winter meeting in Atlanta included the largest...
Seven concrete beams reinforced internally with steel and externally with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminate applied after the concrete had cracked...

The Declarative Data Essence (DDE) Ad-hoc Group of the D27 Technical Committee of the Society for Motion Picture and Television Engineers [SMPTE] is developing...
Results are presented of lateral force measurements using the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA). Two different probes are...
Two-phase aluminum-silicon-based alloys are widely used for premium quality castings for aerospace and automotive applications. While it is clear that silicon...
We present several region-dependent Green's functions for anisotropic bimaterials in two-dimensional elasticity and steady-state heat transfer problems. The...
Effective medium theory is used to obtain a closed form expression for the porosity dependence of the bulk moduli of ceramics. The theory is illustrated with an...
Simple explicit relations are presented for the onset of competing fracture modes in ceramic coatings on compliant substrates from Hertzian-like contacts...
