An atomic force microscope (AFM), a surface forces apparatus (SFA), and a ball-on-inclined plane (BOIP) apparatus were used to measure the mechanical properties...
Measurements of the molar heat capacity at constant volume C v for chlorotrifluoromethane (R13) were conducted using an adiabatic method. Temperatures ranged...
Reliable kinetics data are necessary input for models describing the decomposition of gases in electric discharge or electron-beam devices. In this second part...
An integrating-sphere system has been designed and constructed for multiple optical properties measurement in the IR spectral range. In particular, for specular...
This paper presents an expert rule set for air-handling units (AHUs) and examines the performance of the rule set using simulation and field data. APAR (air...
The harmonization of international dishwasher test procedures is a global target. Currently in the US, manufacturers are working with the Department of Energy...

One of the major disadvantages of polyester materials is their sensitivity to hydrolysis. In this paper, tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been...
Experiments were performed to study the influence of irradiation and heating of light pipe radiation thermometers (LPRTs). LPRTs are currently the sensor of...
In this overview of thermocouple thermometry, temperature scales, traceability, and the basic principles of thermocouple theory and construction are first...

In the present work the effects of cation ordering on delectric properties were isolated by investigating three polymorphs of Ca(Cu 1/3Nb 2/3O 3 that feature...
In this paper, we examined the possibility that elastic bending induced by load misalignment can affect creep measurements on pin-loaded tension specimens of...

We present a high accuracy artifact useful for the evaluation of large CMMs. This artifact can be physically probed by the CMM in contrast to conventional...
Stability prediction and chatter avoidance in high-speed machining requires knowledge of the tool point dynamics. In this paper, three advances toward the rapid...
This paper describes the facilities, measurement capabilities, and ongoing research activities in the areas of Mass and Force at the National Institute of...
Materials, whether in the solid, liquid or gaseous states, may be electrically nonlinear, anisotropic, inhomogeneous and dispersive with respect to frequency...
