Community Resilience Economic Decision Guide for Buildings and Infrastructure Systems

December 30, 2015
Author(s)
Stanley W. Gilbert, David Butry, Jennifer Helgeson, Robert E. Chapman
This Economic Guide provides a standard economic methodology for evaluating investment decisions aimed to improve the ability of communities to adapt to, withstand, and quickly recover from disasters. The Economic Guide is designed for use in conjunction

The Impact of the Crystallite Orientation Distribution on Exciton Transport in Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers

December 30, 2015
Author(s)
Alexander L. Ayzner, Jianguo Mei, Anthony Appleton, Dean DeLongchamp, Alexandre Nardes, Stephanie Benight, Nikos Kopidakis, Michael F. Toney, Zhenan Bao
Conjugated polymers are widely used materials in organic photovoltaic devices. Owing to their extended electronic wavefunctions, they often form semicrystalline thin films. Although it is known that the polymer crystal orientation plays a large role in

Uncertainty Quantification of Stresses in a Cracked Pipe Elbow Weldment Using a Logistic Function Fit, a Nonlinear Least Squares Algorithm, and a Super-Parametric Method

December 30, 2015
Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Fong, James J. Filliben, Nathanael A. Heckert, Pedro V. Marcal, Robert Rainsberger, Li Ma
In a 3-part series of papers, of which this paper is Part II, we investigate the applicability of the fully quadratic hexa-27 element (see Part I) to four problems of interest to the pressure vessels and piping community: (1) The solid-element-based

Algorithms for Identification of Nearly-Coincident Events in Calorimetric Sensors

December 29, 2015
Author(s)
Bradley K. Alpert, Elena Ferri, Douglas A. Bennett, Marco Faverzani, Joseph W. Fowler, Andrea Giachero, James P. Hays-Wehle, Angelo Nucciotti, Daniel S. Swetz, Joel N. Ullom
For experiments with high arrival rates, reliable identification of nearly-coincident events can be crucial. For calorimetric measurements to directly measure the neutrino mass such as HOLMES, unidentified pulse pile-ups are expected to comprise a leading

Integrating views of properties in models of unit manufacturing processes

December 28, 2015
Author(s)
Peter O. Denno, Duck B. Kim
This paper investigates the potential advantages and pitfalls of directly integrating knowledge expressed as predictive model equations with other process knowledge. The context of this integration is models of unit manufacturing processes. The method

Morphological and Electrical Characterization of MWCNT Papers and Pellets

December 27, 2015
Author(s)
Elisabeth Mansfield, Ari D. Feldman, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay, John H. Lehman, Alexandra E. Curtin
Six types of multiwall carbon nanotube soot were obtained and prepared into buckypapers by pellet pressing and by filtration into a paper. These samples were evaluated with respect to thickness, compressibility and electrical conductivity. DC conductivity
