Methodology for Evaluating Candidate Geometric Reference Scaffolds

November 1, 2007
Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Stefan D. Leigh, David Dean, M Cooke, Richard Ketcham, Marcus T. Cicerone
The motivation for the work is to rank candidate reference scaffolds by quality metrics in a systematic and quantitative manner by screening several microstructural descriptors of importance. We chose total pore volume, pore volume distribution, and pore

Air Blast Loading of Cellular Media

July 1, 2007
Author(s)
George A. Gazonas, Joseph Main
Motivated by recent efforts to mitigate blast loading using energy-absorbing materials, this paper investigates the mechanics of uniaxial crushing of cellular sandwich plates under air blast loading using analytical and computational modeling. This model

Supression Characteristics of Cup-Burner Flames in Low Gravity

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
F Takahashi, Gregory T. Linteris, V Katta
The structure and suppression of laminar methane air co-flow diffusion flames formed on a cup burner have been studied experimentally and numerically using physically acting fire-extinguishing agents (CO2, N2, He, and Ar) in normal earth (1g) and zero

A Survey of Design ? Analysis Integration Issues

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Greg Mocko, Steven J. Fenves
The report constitutes a survey of work directed towards the emergence of next-generation product development tools, specifically in the area of design-analysis integration. The report is organized into two main areas: (1) an examination of issues

Practical Aspects of Acoustic Emission Source Location by a Wavelet Transform

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Marvin A. Hamstad, K S. Downs, Agnes O'Gallagher
An algoithmic approach to improve the accuracy of AE source location was demonstrated by using a large database of wideband-acoustic-emission-(AE)-modeled signals and wavelet transform (WT) results. The AE-signal database was created by a three-dimentional

Performance and Characterization of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels

May 1, 2002
Author(s)
Arthur H. Fanney, Brian P. Dougherty, Mark W. Davis
Buildings consume more than two-thirds of the electricity in the United States. The incorporation of photovoltaics into the buildings, referred to as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), offers an aesthetically pleasing means of displacing centrally

Objective Speech Quality Measures for Internet Telephony

August 20, 2001
Author(s)
T Hall
Measuring voice quality for telephony is not a new problem. However, packet-switched, best-effort networks such as the Internet present significant new challenges for the delivery of real-time voice traffic. Unlike the circuit-switched PSTN, Internet

Should (T 1 - T 2 ) Have Larger Uncertainty Than T 1 ?

June 1, 2001
Author(s)
Lee Y. G
In interlaboratory comparisons, laboratories sometimes use a transfer instrument to realize the value of a laboratory standard to compare the relative biases of their measurement processes and standards. One summary of interest from such comparisons is the

Linear Procedures for Structures with Velocity-Dependent Dampers

August 1, 2000
Author(s)
Fahim Sadek, B Mohraz, Michael A. Riley
Passive energy dissipation devices are used to reduce the damaging effects of earthquakes. These devices can absorb a portion of the earthquake-induced energy in structures and thus reduce the energy demand on structural members. Wide acceptance of these

New Approaches to the Development of Fire-Safe Materials (NISTIR 6465)

February 1, 2000
Author(s)
A B. Morgan, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Marc R. Nyden, C L. Jackson
Thermoplastic polyetherimide-clay nanocomposites were synthesized from 1,3-phenylenediamine and bisphenol A dianhydride using an in situ approach. Two types of organically treated clays were utilized to synthesize these nanocomposites. The two organically

Polymer Composites for Repairing of Portland Cement Concrete: Compatibility Project

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
L Czarnecki, A Garbacz, P Lukowski, J R. Clifton
The impetus for this project has been the continuing deterioration of, and the necessity to repair, a large stock of concrete structures. A two-component system, portland cement concrete (substrate) in contact with a polymer composite (repair) is produced

Scattering From Sinusoidal Gratings

September 1, 1997
Author(s)
B C. Park, Theodore V. Vorburger, Thomas Germer, Egon Marx
Laser light scattering from holographic sinusoidal gratings has been investigated with a view to its use in the calibration of the linearity of BRDF instruments, a task that requires a wide dynamic range in the scattered intensity. An aluminum-coated

Evidence for contributions of lack-of-fusion defects and dislocations to acoustic nonlinearity and loss in additively manufactured aluminum

February 2, 2024
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Paul R. Heyliger, Jake Benzing, Orion Kafka, Newell Moser, Derek Harris, Jeremy Iten, Nik Hrabe
Resonant acoustic nonlinearity and loss have previously been found to be correlated with porosity in additively manufactured (AM) commercially pure aluminum and stainless steel, and this effect offers a potential basis for rapid nondestructive

Secure Hash Standard

August 4, 2015
Author(s)
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Quynh Dang
This standard specifies hash algorithms that can be used to generate digests of messages. The digests are used to detect whether messages have been changed since the digests were generated. The Applicability Clause of this standard was revised to

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD): Overview

December 18, 2013
Author(s)
Harold Booth, Doug Rike, Gregory A. Witte
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD), and its companion, the National Checklist Program (NCP), have provided a valuable and flexible set of services to users around the world since NVD was established in 2005. The NVD was established to provide a U.S
