Katherine E. Sharpless, Regina L. Avila, Ronald F. Boisvert, A Kirk Dohne, James Fowler, Rachel B. Glenn, Gretchen Greene, Robert Hanisch, Andrea Medina-Smith, Alan Munter, Julie Petrousky, Yuri Ralchenko, Carolyn D. Rowland, James A. St Pierre, Adam Wunderlich, Jon Zhang
In 2013 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a memo, "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research." In response, he National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a public access

Report on High Energy Arcing Fault Experiments: Experimental Results from Medium-Voltage Bus Duct and Switchgear Enclosures

September 15, 2023
Author(s)
Gabriel Taylor, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Scott Bareham, Christopher U. Brown, Wai Cheong Tam, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Stephen Fink, Michael Heck, Edward Hnetkovsky, Nicholas Melly, Kenneth Hamburger, Kenneth Miller
This report documents an experimental program designed to investigate high energy arcing fault (HEAF) phenomena for medium-voltage, metal-enclosed bus ducts and switchgear. This report covers full-scale laboratory experiments using representative nuclear

National Institute of Standards and Technology Environmental Scan 2023: Societal and Technology Landscape to Inform Science and Technology Research

August 23, 2023
Author(s)
Ashley Boggs-Russell, Kerrianne Buchanan, David W. Griffith, Heather Evans, Dimitrios Meritis, Lisa Ng, Anna Sberegaeva, Michelle Stephens
The 2023 National Institute of Standards and Technology Environmental Scan provides an analysis of key external factors that could impact NIST and the fulfillment of its mission in coming years. The analyses were conducted through three separate lenses

An Evolving Regulatory Landscape for Commercial Electric Vehicle Fueling

August 22, 2023
Author(s)
Tina G. Butcher, Michael Nelson
Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV), which include "all-electric" battery EV (BEV) and plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV), comprise a rapidly growing proportion of the U.S. automobile market – nearly 8% of all light-duty vehicles sold in Oct. 2022, a 41.4% rise over

Effects of mechanical deformation on dislocation density and phase partitioning in 4130 steel

August 22, 2023
Author(s)
Zack Buck, Matthew Connolly, May Ling Martin, Damian Lauria, Jason Killgore, Peter Bradley, Yan Chen, Ke An, Andrew Slifka
Interrupted tensile tests were performed on an AISI 4130 pressure vessel steel and investigated by neutron diffraction and scanning microscopy techniques. Analysis of the neutron diffraction patterns reveal a partitioning of ferrite and martensite phases

PGAA measurement of chloride diffusion profiles in concrete cylinders

July 21, 2023
Author(s)
Heather H. Chen-Mayer, Neal Berke, Richard Livingston
Chloride diffusion is correlated with corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures. The current standard method for estimating chloride diffusion profile is by destructive chemical analysis. This work investigates the feasibility of Prompt Gamma

Effect of Alkali-Silica Reaction on the Flexural Behavior of Beams with Tensile Lap Splices

March 31, 2023
Author(s)
Long Phan, Jonathan Weigand, Fahim H. Sadek, Adam L. Pintar, Sorin Marcu, Travis Thonstad, Timothy Barrett
A series of 19 beam specimens, with varying stirrup spacing and tensile lap splice lengths, were tested at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under four-point loading to investigate the impact of alkali silica reaction (ASR) on the

Considering Interoperability for Electric Vehicle Charging: A Commission Case Study

March 13, 2023
Author(s)
Cuong Nguyen, Avi Gopstein, Danielle Sass Byrnett, Kerry Worthington, Christopher Villarreal
As adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) increases across the United States and charging equipment to power vehicles is installed, the electricity system, states, utilities, EV manufacturers, EV supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturers, and stakeholders are

FIRE RESILIENCE OF STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE FLOOR SYSTEMS
