Vibration of a Room-Sized Airspring-Supported Slab

Author(s)
H Amick, B Sennewald, N C. Pardue, E C. Teague, Brian R. Scace
This paper reports the results of the finite element analysis and in situ testing of a large-scale (4 m x 10 m) pneumatically isolated concrete slab. The slab

Pixel Based Absolute Topography Test for Three Flats

Author(s)
R E. Parks, Lianzhen Shao, Christopher J. Evans
We demonstrate a new method of performing the absolute three flat test using reflection symmetries of the surfaces and an algorithm for generating the rotation

Understanding Scanned Probe Oxidation of Silicon

Author(s)
John A. Dagata, T Inoue, J Itoh, H Yokoyama
A model for scanned probe microscope (SPM) silicon oxidation is presented. The model was derived from a consideration of the space-charge dependence of this

Simplified Fire Growth Calculations

Author(s)
E K. Budnick, D D. Evans, H Nelson
This work is one chapter of the 19th NFPA Fire Protection Handbook directed at giving the user simplified methods to estimate quantities used in fire protection

High-Speed Machining

Author(s)
Matthew A. Davies, S J. Smith
Increasing the power and speed of machining operations has several advantages. These include: [1] shorter machining time; [2] improved surface finish; [3]

Estimating Local Dimensionality

Author(s)
D L. Banks, R Olszewski
This paper suggests that one can use principal components analysis to assess the local dimensionality in a complex dataset. If this is large, then data mining

Life-Cycle Costs of New Construction Materials

Author(s)
