Practical Intrinsic-Error Bounds for X-Ray Computed Tomography

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
R D. Spal
Images produced by x-ray computed tomography contain intrinsic error due to the limited spatial resolution of the technique. Two bounds on the mean intrinsic error over a specified region are determined, given only minimal information about the object

Predicting Fracture Resistance of Brittle Crystals

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Grady S. White, Stephen W. Freiman, Lin-Sien H. Lum
A simple expression is derived relating fracture surface energy to easily measured material properties, i.e., the elastic Young's modulus and the equilibrium atomic plane spacing via a proportionality constant, k. This expression appears to be independent

Predictive chemical kinetic model for lubricant performance: bench testings

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu, C I. Chen
Bench tests have been used to screen lubricants and additives for industrial fluids in machinery applications for a very long time. As technology becomes more sophisticated in terms of materials, controls, and design, the need for simple, quick, and cheap

Raman Stress Evaluation: Hydrostatic vs. Biaxial Calibration

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
L M. Braun, Grady S. White
Comparisons of two technical approaches for stress measurement based on the peak shifts associated with micro-Raman spectra are described. Stress values were obtained from evaluation of the relationship between peak shift and stress determined by both a

Rapid Detection of Thin-Film Interfacial Reactions by MEMS-DSC

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
Lawrence P. Cook, Richard E. Cavicchi, Yanbao Zhang, Mark D. Vaudin, Christopher B. Montgomery, William F. Egelhoff Jr., Martin L. Green, Leslie Allen
A MEMS-based differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) has been used to characterize the Ni/Si interfacial reaction in thin films at ramp rates of 940 C/s and 3760 C/s. The DSC devices were fabricated using CMOS semiconductor processing technology, and were

Relationship Between Microstructure and Wear of Dental Ceramics and Composite Resins

February 19, 2017
Author(s)
V S. Nagarajan, S Jahanmir, B Hockey, Victoria Thompson
The effect of microstructure on the wear mechanisms of glass-ceramics and resin composites was studied. Wear tests on both types of materials were conducted using a pin-on-disk apparatus. Wear of glass-ceramics increased with increasing mica platelet
