Factors That Affect Adhesion at the Fiber-Matrix Interface in Composites

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, E Pohl, Walter G. McDonough, D T. Raghavan, D Thompson
The development of methods to assess adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface in composite materials has been driven primarily by the recognition that the interface or interphase in many composite materials has a profound affect on the onset of failure in

Fire Dynamics Simulator: Technical Reference Guide (NISTIR 6467)

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Howard R. Baum, Ronald G. Rehm, Anthony P. Hamins, Glenn P. Forney
The idea that the dynamics of a fire might be studied numerically dates back to the beginning of the computer age. Indeed, the fundamental conservation equations governing fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and combustion were first written down over a century

Fire Dynamics Simulator: User's Manual (NISTIR 6469)

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The software described in this document solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow with an

Flammability of Polystyrene-Clay Nanocomposites

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
A B. Morgan, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Richard H. Harris Jr., C L. Jackson, C A. Wilkie, J Zhu
Research in the area of condensed phase flame retardants for polymers usually builds upon existing technologies, such as metal hydroxides (alumina, magnesium hydroxide) or phosphorus based materials. However, these materials tend to weaken mechanical

Flits: Pervasive Computing for Processor and Memory Constrained Systems

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
William J. Majurski, Alden A. Dima, Mary T. Laamanen
Many pervasive computing software technologies are targeted for 32-bit desktop platforms. However, there are innumerable 8, 16, and 32-bit microcontroller and microprocessor-based embedded systems that do not support the resource requirements of these

Force Metrology at NIST

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Simone L. Yaniv, Thomas W. Bartel
This paper describes the measurements services, the instrumentation and procedures available for force metrology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA. The uncertainty of the voltage ratio indicating system for strain gage load cells
