Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-destructive and non-contact technique that images microstructure within scattering media. In this work, the versatility of OCT for non-destructive evaluation is demonstrated through imaging of composite

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-destructive and non-contact technique to image microstructure within scattering media. The application of OCT to highly scattering materials such as polymer composites is especially challenging. In this work, OCT
The single fiber fragmentation test has been modified by embedding multiple fibers into matrix resin. During testing, we examined the interfacial shear strengths between the fibers and the matrix. In addition, the time-dependent nature of the fragmentation

The Polymers Division hosted the Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces, jointly sponsored by NIST and the Textile Research Institute of Princeton, NJ, on May 28-30, 1997. Fifty researchers from industry, academia
In the last decade or so, numerous advances have occurred in the field of information technology. Through the use of computers, the amount of available information and the speed at which it can be retrieved have both increased dramatically. The

Many new materials are bing developed from polymers, metals, and ceramics. Industry is beginning to introduce some of these high-performance or new-technology materials in construction and manufacturing applications because the materials have advantages
The General Accounting Office (GAO) requested the assistance of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in the investigation of the construction of the new Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida. Specifically, GAO desired answers to questions related to the
The initial investigation of the Willow Island cooling tower collapse (NBS IR 78-1578)established that the most probable cause of the collapse was the imposition of construction loads on the tower before the concrete had gained adequate strength. The

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has become a technological preferred option for many projects that should satisfy strict fresh stage properties that are of major concern in quality assurance. To ensure stable and robust fresh stage properties, typically a
