ASCE/SEI 41 Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Buildings: Comparison of the Nonlinear Dynamic Procedure with Other Evaluation Methods

May 22, 2023
Author(s)
Andrew Sen, Dustin Cook, ABBIE LIEL, Tarbin Basnet, Russell Berkowitz, Ariel Creagh, Wassim Ghannoum, Ayse Hortacsu, Insung Kim, Hamid Koodiani, Dawn Lehman, Laura Lowes, Adolfo Matamoros, Farzad Naeim, Siamak Sattar, Rob Smith
The U.S. consensus standard for seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing buildings, ASCE/SEI 41, establishes provisions for seismic analysis procedures that vary in complexity and fidelity. Although ASCE/SEI 41 provides detailed nonlinear dynamic

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in New Firefighter Turnout Gear Textiles

May 1, 2023

Andrew Maizel, Andre Thompson, Meghanne Tighe, Samuel Escobar Veras, Alix Rodowa, Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Bruce A. Benner Jr., Kathleen Hoffman, Michelle K. Donnelly, Olivia Hernandez, Nadine Wetzler, Trung Ngu, Jessica Reiner, Benjamin Place, John Kucklick, Kate Rimmer, Rick D. Davis
Turnout gear is increasingly recognized as a potential source of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure to firefighters. To determine the type, concentration, and prevalence of PFAS potentially present in new firefighter turnout gear, fifty

Shrinks When It's Colder

Author(s)
Patrick Egan
Thermal expansion can be a leading cause of uncertainty in length metrology. A cell-based refractometer has been designed at NIST which targets 10^-6} relative uncertainty in the measurement of helium refractivity; in terms of refractive index at ambient

Activation of Mechanophores in a Thermoset Matrix by Instrumented Scratch

November 17, 2021
Author(s)
Chelsea S. Davis, Jeremiah Woodcock, Ryan Beams, Mitchell Rencheck, Muzhou Wang, Stephan J. Stranick, Aaron M. Forster, Jeffrey Gilman
Scratches in polymer coatings and barrier layers negatively impact optical properties (haze, light transmission, etc.), initiate routes of degradation or corrosion (moisture permeability), and nucleate delamination of the coating. Detecting scratches in

Fluoroscent Probe for Cure Monitoring of Hydrosilation-Curable Silicone

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
Y Hotta, K Komatsu, Francis W. Wang
This study aimed to evaluate a fluorescent probe, 9,10-bis-(phenylethynyl) anthracene (BPEA), for cure monitoring of hydrosilation-curable silicone (HCS). The HCS consisted of 74.9 % mass fraction of vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (DV-PDMS)

Author(s)
Lou Nadeau, Ph.D., Melanie Sands, Douglas Lyons, Clara Berger, Sarah Hughes
NIST's Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division is the primary federal laboratory focused on conducting research, development, testing, and evaluation for public safety communications technologies. Their mission is to accelerate communications

Automated on-axis direct laser writing of coupling elements for photonic chips

December 21, 2020
Author(s)
Edgar Perez, Gregory Moille, Xiyuan Lu, Daron Westly, Kartik Srinivasan
Direct laser writing (DLW) has recently been used to create versatile micro-optic structures that facilitate photonic-chip coupling, like free-form lenses, free-form mirrors, and photonic wirebonds. However, at the edges of photonic chips, the top-down/off
