X-Ray Diffraciton and the Existence of Long Range Internal Stresses

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
M A. Delos-Reyes, M E. Kassner, Lyle E. Levine
Long range internal stresses (LRIS) are often used to explain various aspects of the mechanical behavior of materials. Recent experiments by the authors indicate an absence of measurable LRIS. X-ray line asymmetry, however, has long been interpreted as an

Rafting and Elastoplastic Deformation of Superalloys Studied by Neutron Di raction

June 1, 2017
Author(s)
James Coakley, Eric Lass, Dong Ma, Matthew Frost, David N. Seidman, David C. Dunand, Howard Stone
The rafting of monocrystalline Ni- and Co-based superalloys has been studied by neutron diffractometry. The nature of rafting is shown experimentally to be dependent upon both the lattice parameter misfit and the difference in phase stiffnesses. The 900 ◦C

Building Caring Healthcare Systems in the Internet of Things

February 22, 2017
Author(s)
Phillip Laplante, Mohamad Kassab, Nancy Laplante, Jeff Voas
The nature of healthcare and the computational and physical technologies and constraints present a number of challenges to systems designers and implementers. In spite of the challenges, there is a significant market for systems and products to support

An Exception to Amontons' Law: The Friction of Carbon Surfaces in Air

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
P M. McGuiggan
The friction of carbon has been of much interest in recent years due to its good tribological properties. These properties include high wear resistance, high hardness, low friction coefficients, and low corrosion. 1 In computer hard disks, the magnetic

2015 TMS William Hume-Rothery Award and Symposium

February 22, 2016
Author(s)
Ursula R. Kattner
The symposium was titled “Multicomponent Alloy Metallurgy: Bridge from Materials Science to Materials Engineering” with focus on the physical metallurgy of alloys with three or more components. The topics of interest for the symposium included

Vetting Mobile Apps

July 22, 2011
Author(s)
Stephen Quirolgico, Jeffrey M. Voas, David R. Kuhn
Billions of copies of apps for mobile devices have been purchased in recent years. With this growth, however, comes an increase in the spread of potentially dangerous security vulnerabilities. Because of an app's low cost and high proliferation, the threat

Correction of Location and Orientation Errors in Electromagnetic Motion Tracking

August 1, 2007
Author(s)
John G. Hagedorn, Steven G. Satterfield, John T. Kelso, W. Austin, Judith E. Terrill, Adele Peskin
We describe a method for calibrating an electromagnetic motion tracking device. Algorithms for correcting both location and orientation are presented. In particular, we use a method for interpolating rotation corrections at scattered data points that has

Prototype FDMS Database for Model Verification (NISTIR 6030)

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Rebecca W. Portier, Richard Peacock, Walter W. Jones
Fire Data Management System, FDMS, is a system designed to store and retrieve fire test results obtained from bench-scale and real-scale tests as well as fire simulation programs. By storing available fire test values in a common format, this data is

GPS Aided Retrotraverse For Unmanned Ground Vehicles

April 1, 1996
Author(s)
Karl Murphy, Steven Legowik
A computer controlled HMMWV automatically retraces a previously recorded path using navigation data, a process we have termed retrotraverse. A Kalman filter combines the output of two navigation systems, an inertial dead reckoning system and a differential

Oscillatory Exchange Coupling in Fe/Cr Multilayers

January 1, 1996
Author(s)
Mark D. Stiles
First-principles calculations of the reflection probabilities for Fermi surface electrons at Cr/Fe interfaces are used to compute the strength of the oscillatory exchange coupling in Cr/Fe multilayers. These calculations show that critical spanning vectors

Experimental Study of the Optical Properties of Soot and Smoke (NISTIR 5499)

September 1, 1994
Author(s)
M Y. Choi, George W. Mulholland, Anthony Hamins, Takashi Kashiwagi
The accurate measurement of flame-generated particlates is a problem of current interest to researchers in the fire and combustion community. Within the flame, the soot concentration measurement is central to the study of soot growth and for radiant
